People often question the difference between public relations and marketing. In today’e environment, I say they are merging together and it is very muddy waters these days.
The definition of public relations is the professional maintenance of a favorable public image by a company or other organization or a famous person and the definition of marketing is: the action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising. So you can see how these two are starting to mix together in today’s digital world. Access is simple and providing information is so easy to do. Think about how you want to be seen in the world and then work on how you are going to share your message with the world.
Public Relations can come in many forms but for this post, let’s focus on media relations, community relations, online and social media.
Media Relations
Journalists need our content. It’s imperative however that we give it to them in a way they can use it. Do your homework on which media outlet is best for your product, service or brand and find the journalist(s) who cover your topic. Here is a video I did to help you find the right journalists.
Community Relations
Giving good content to the world. Do you have a blog? Are you sharing information? And are you listening to what people are saying about your product, service or brand? Here’s a video I did on social listening to help you pay attention to what others are saying.
Online and Social Media
In today’s fast-paced digital world, and in a world where people make purchasing decisions based on what they. see online, you MUST have a strong online presence, including social media. You don’t have to be on every platform but you have to have a presence online if you expect people to buy from you.
