PUBLIC RELATIONS AS:
The world has gone digital, and public relations has kept up with it. In digital PR, the main focus is online presence and building positive press through the Internet. Examples of digital PR include blogs, guest posts, link building, and influencer marketing. A digital PR strategy is built around what makes a company shine online — and how new audiences can be introduced to the brand.
We go back to the roots of public relations with traditional PR. Here, we deal with the tried-and-tested platforms: television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and flyers. Traditional PR’s goal is the same as digital PR: to engage new audiences and introduce the company with positive press.
Advocacy PR utilizes both digital and traditional public relations’ strategies and methods. However, the focus is centered on what value the company brings to the audience. Through advocacy PR, we market positive change through the products and services sold by the company, or what the brand stands for by itself. The audience, then, identifies with said causes, allowing the brand to instill recall, sincerity, and significance.
Corporate PR is all about maintaining a positive corporate brand. It communicates the company’s purposes, participates in crisis management when needed, and handles communications between employees, customers, stakeholders, media outlets, and the general public.
A (corporate) crisis can be life-altering for organizations and can have devastating effects if not managed well. Crisis PR is meant to avert those devastating effects by ensuring proper situation management and communication to those concerned.
“There are no perfect organizations just as there are no perfect individuals. Everyone commits mistakes. Every crisis presents an opportunity, even for complete change… What is required is a mindset that is not only prepared for it but willing to embrace it, because only after accepting that you are indeed in crisis, only after going through the hump of denial, and only after staring crisis in the eye can you muster the courage and the thinking required to contain it.” – Gina Dela Vega-Cruz, Crisis Management Consultant of NGP-IMC
ROLES OF PUBLIC RELATIONS
Public relations can be found virtually anywhere in the field of communications. It’s practically embedded into every strategy. For example, public relations is highly integrated into marketing.
Marketing, in contrast to public relations, focuses on selling a specific product. Public relations can help in this process. As the focus of PR is maintaining a positive image for the brand, communication strategies that highlight strengths and unique selling points can be utilized. PR and marketing collaborate in weaving the story told through different advertisements.
- Earns media presence. Unlike advertising, public relations earns media presence instead of paying for it. Credibility is built through an independent third party.
- Highlights brand significance. Public relations builds consumer loyalty through highlighting the value and importance of a brand.
- Generates leads. PR influences your target audience, creates promotional funnels, and converts people into consumers.
Public relations and advertising both use communication strategies to achieve their goals, but they’re still distinct from one another.
Advertising primarily makes use of paid media to garner attention for a brand’s product or services. The purpose of advertising is set on having the intent to buy.
Public relations earns their media presence. Instead of being focused on sales, PR aims to build a positive image for a brand, as well as a mutually beneficial relationship with the public.
The world of public relations can easily become complicated. This is where PR agencies come in.
