As a result, your efforts can help win powerful backlinks from high-authority publications, contributing to improving your SEO performance and all-important E-E-A-T signals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In this blog, we will be exploring several ways you can utilise expert commentary in your Digital PR activity. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-use-expert-commentary-in-campaigns\">\u003Cstrong>How to use expert commentary in campaigns\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"commenting-on-campaign-findings\">Commenting on campaign findings\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>There is very rarely an occasion where you wouldn’t want to include a comment from a spokesperson to supplement a PR campaign. This could be as simple as someone from within the organisation commenting on the findings of a survey, this simple addition can significantly bolster the credibility and impact of a PR campaign, or in some cases can form a solid base for the findings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>An example of how we’ve done this at Impression is a campaign we executed for learner driver insurer, \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.wearemarmalade.co.uk\u002Fdriver-hub\u002Fnews\u002Fdriving-instructor-shortage-and-test-delays\">Marmalade\u003C\u002Fa>, that shed light on the scarcity of driving instructors and the backlog of driving tests. To bolster this campaign and shed light on the issues, we collaborated with various industry experts, including representatives from Marmalade, experienced driving instructors, and the chair of the Approved Driving Instructors National Joint Council. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>These experts shared their valuable insights on the challenges confronting instructors and learners, as well as offering comments on the research with perspectives from their industries.
