Marketing and Public Relations

Public Relations (also known as PR) is the practice of managing the spread of information between individual and organisation (usually in a positive way). In general, Public Relations is the art of creating coverage for clients for free which is what differentiates it from marketing. Marketing involves choosing target markets through market analysis and market segmentation, as well as understanding methods of influence on the consumer behaviour. The fastest growing branch of contemporary marketing is digital marketing, which is the marketing of products and service via digital technologies (Internet, phones etc). Overall, marketing activities are trying to achieve direct revenue, while PR is trying to drive a positive reputation through an effective PR strategy. However, both acts focus to positively booster the company profile. Businesses, government agencies, and non-profit organisations utilise marketing and PR to communicate messages with a social purpose, such as a public health or safety message, to citizens. They also use marketing and PR to market, sell and inform customers about goods or services.
