Effective
Public Relations |
There
is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and
that is not being talked about-Oscar Wilde
This is especially true of today's hyper competitive world where every single entity is jostling for that elusive fifteen minutes of fame. As we individuals are trying to occupy a space in the minds of people through constant communication and interaction, so are various brands and products with the help of an important tool called Public Relation. Public Relations Major is essentially about using the right communication tools to manage relations between two entities, a company and its public, who could be employees, customers, the media, shareholders or the government. The art and science of Media Relations and Public Relations can not only help to build a brand but can also sustain its image for years. According to John Lonsdorf, President, R&J group, "The emergence of Public Relations Services as a branding tool is not so much a revolution as an evolution," With mass economy being replaced by a 'customer-centric" economy, the emphasis is on building trust by means of customer-to-customer communication. PR plays a very powerful role in such a relationship. All public relations exercise -- from single and straight-forward publicity to more complex promotions helps to establish and shape popular perceptions about a brand. The other big advantage that PR has is the credibility factor with consumers. For most people third party endorsements in the form of articles in newspapers and stories in the electronic media are far more credible than advertisements. What makes PR effective is its versatility. For this reason, it is not only used in the initial stages of brand building on a strategic level but also on a more tactical level by Public Relations Firm. Brands today recognise the fact that just a single communication channel for impact may not be effective anymore in today's age of multi reality. The impact of public relations services is growing with marketers' beginning to understand and grasp the leverage it can bring. The PR industry in India has come a long way from being mere postmen delivering press releases to being consultants who are involved in the brand building process. It has today become a mainstream arm of marketing instead of the peripheral role it had played a few years ago. The country's top PR agencies are on a roll experiencing a blistering pace of growth estimated to be somewhere around 30-50 per cent in the last one year. Companies and individuals alike are waking up to the power of a good PR campaign. For more information please visit our website www.exchange4media.com. |
