SquirrelPR, Africa’s leading all-inclusive PR management platform, will host a specialized session at the highly anticipated #StartupSouth9 Conference. This session aims to empower startups from the South-South and Southeast regions with actionable, cost-effective public relations strategies to help them grow their businesses.

This year’s conference, themed “Deep & Broad: Extending Frontiers of Technology and Economic Development,” will take place from October 3 – 4, 2024, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

SquirrelPR’s session, scheduled for October 4, will focus on “PR on a Budget: How Startups Can Compete with Big Brands.” Led by Jonah Solomon, a seasoned PR and marketing strategist, the masterclass will cover essential PR principles, the PR process, and low-cost strategies that startups can leverage to boost brand visibility, increase awareness, and drive profitability.

“Our goal is to provide startups with practical tools and insights that will allow them to compete on a larger scale,” said James Ezechukwu, co-founder of SquirrelPR. “Many startups, particularly those that are bootstrapping, lack the resources of big brands, but with the right PR strategies, they can still achieve significant growth. We’re excited to be part of #StartupSouth9, where we can share these invaluable lessons with the community.”

The session aligns with the core objectives of StartupSouth, which is in its 9th edition, to educate, connect, and attract investment to startups in the South-South and Southeast regions. The conference has become one of Nigeria’s top tech industry events, bringing together innovators, thought leaders, investors, policymakers, and founders from across the country for education, networking, and business growth opportunities.

Participants attending SquirrelPR’s session will gain firsthand knowledge from Jonah Solomon, who has supported several leading tech companies in Nigeria through their early stages of growth with PR expertise.
