In case you’re wondering, and there are a lot of conflicting interpretations, with public relations used interchangeably with marketing, media relations or publicity, each serves a very different purpose. Here are our definitions:
- Public Relations – leads to an interaction, i.e. its primary purpose is designed to build trust or open/continue a conversation and develop a relationship with your target audience. It is chiefly concerned with your business’ reputation and ultimately supports your business/organisation’s goals and objectives.
- Marketing – leads to a transaction, or a sale from a member of your target The best marketers are all about identifying your ideal customers and devising strategies to help fulfill their desires – focusing on selling your products/services and meeting or driving customer demand.
- Media relations – is specifically about developing relationships with journalists and the media. Effective media engagement can provide your business with a multitude of opportunities. Read our media training blog to find out more.
- Publicity – often interchanged with PR, however both are vastly different. Good publicity focuses more on media coverage, maybe you’re looking to create some buzz around an upcoming event or product release?
- MPR – a combination of marketing and public relations or interactions that ultimately lead to transactions.
For a more in depth insight into these terms, you might like to read recent blogs, including “Media relations, publicity & PR – a definitive guide” and “The difference between marketing & PR”.
However the true value of PR is not all about building sales, nor is it about just getting media coverage/publicity. Sometimes it’s just as important to stay less attainable and/or out of the media (and yes, there is such a thing as bad publicity).
If you’re ready to build positive and engaging relationships with your potential and existing target audiences, we’d love to help. You can always give us a call on (02) 9994 8005 or drop us a note.
