Overview
Challenge
The biggest challenge is to position Grammarly in an already well-established market and to set it apart from other online writing assistants. In addition, the offering is available in English, so the growing importance of English in professional and private life is worth highlighting. Not everyone is comfortable with working with artificial intelligence. We therefore also have to do educational work here and show the benefits of using it and the future prospects.
Solution
With targeted communication strategies, we use various media channels to communicate the benefits of Grammarly to writers in Germany and to establish the company as a trustworthy brand that adheres to state-of-the-art security standards and never sells or rents users’ data. With thought leadership articles, we demonstrate the company’s industry expertise and point to Grammarly’s more than 14 years of AI experience. Interviews round this off and give the Silicon Valley specialists the opportunity to convey the company’s vision. Stories about life and work at Grammarly also strengthen employer branding.
Impact
Since the start of our PR work for Grammarly in November 2022, we have achieved more than 61 articles in renowned and relevant media, raising Grammarly’s profile in Germany. This included interviews with Heise and Handelsblatt, which are among the most important media in technology and business reporting. As a result, we were able to highlight Grammarly’s expertise in artificial intelligence and NLP. Overall, our efforts have helped Grammarly be perceived as a strong competitor in the field of AI-based writing assistants.
