The PR Function (Enhanced DVD)

Public relations (PR) differs significantly from advertising. PR has to target a certain segment of the public, which could be consumers, media, the competition, or even a company’s workers. The audience is defined as the “target” for the PR campaign. The target is identified through in-depth market research. Normally, PR campaigns involve the introduction of a new service or a new product. By using SMART principles combined with creative concepts, a company can improve its image. It is important in PR campaigns that the company calculates a return on investment (ROI) from the campaign efforts. PR also is involved during crisis to manage the negative impact of bad publicity when things go wrong. PR campaigns and crisis management are effective when they are highly adaptive in the face of change. The advancements in the use of digital media and Internet communications have permanently changed the way that PR campaigns are monitored and effectively executed.
