PR Plan — Open Skills Graph launch
Announcement: A 12-person labor-analytics startup is releasing a free, openly-licensed dataset of 5 million anonymized job postings, with skills tagged to a public taxonomy.
Narrative
The skills data that powers hiring and workforce planning is locked inside paid vendors. By opening a large, tagged dataset under a permissive license, the company makes labor-market research reproducible — and bets that becoming the open standard beats charging for the raw data.
Story angles
- "The open-source moment for labor-market data" — outlet type: tech / trade.
- "What 5 million postings reveal about the skills gap" — outlet type: national business / future-of-work vertical.
- "Why a startup gave its data away" — outlet type: startup / founder podcasts.
- "A reproducible benchmark for workforce researchers" — outlet type: academic / data-science press.
Target outlets
- Future-of-work and HR-tech trade press · data-journalism desks at national business outlets · labor-economics newsletters · founder/strategy podcasts.
Spokesperson points
- Why open — reproducibility and standard-setting, not altruism theater.
- How anonymization and licensing were handled.
- One or two non-obvious findings from the data, clearly labeled as illustrative until peer-checked.
Assets needed
- Press release · a data-documentation page + sample notebook · two or three chart-ready findings · founder headshots + a dataset diagram · an embargoed researcher preview.
Timeline
- Pre-announcement: brief three or four friendly reporters under embargo; line up two researcher quotes.
- Announcement: release, blog post, and notebook go live the same morning; founder available for interviews.
- Sustain: weekly "one chart from the data" posts; pitch follow-on analyses to verticals.
Riskiest assumptions
- That the findings are genuinely newsworthy — the story is thin without a surprising stat, so strengthen with one.
- That "we gave our data away" reads as bold, not as "the data wasn't that valuable."
Grounded in: media-relations / communications canon — newsworthiness, angle-to-outlet fit, embargo sequencing.
