Public relations vs marketing

After attending a 2-day workshop on Digital PR, it became clear that the PR sector is embracing the changes that have transformed digital marketing. What also became clear is that there is some confusion amongst PR professionals about how they can use marketing technologies and techniques to demonstrate both the value and importance of Public Relations in this new paradigm.

A Media pitch that pitches itself

If you talk to most journalists and media representatives, they will volunteer the fact that the best media pitches are the ones that fit their specific needs. They say they are much more open to receiving a pitch that aligns with their beat and personal style and focus. If that’s the case, why are many of the pitches journalists receive entirely unsuited to the journalists.

NOT A NET ZERO SUM GAME

Turning carbon-negative into a positive

Increasingly the public is turning to business to lead the way in climate change action. This existential threat to our survival has the public's and media’s attention. They’re all demanding the organisations whose products and services they use, who they work with (and work for) demonstrate their ecological and social credentials.

More news, more media, more exposure

Celebrate your wins and explain your failures

When it comes to trust, corporations have a higher trust ranking internationally than NGOs, government and even media. Hence, it seems counterintuitive to want help from the media to amplify your messages. The reality is that although the media may have dropped in its trust ranking, most people still use media sources to get their news.
