PRINCIPLES OF BRANDING AND MARKETING WITH NEW MEDIA
Marketing & Public Relations Redefined
While advertising and marketing promote your products and services, public relations practices builds trust with clients and stakeholders.
Traditionally they had two distinct purposes, but today's PR is more than reaching mainstream media audiences through traditional media relations practices and marketing is more than just paid advertising to promote products and services.
Sales are now either dependent on online marketing and e-commerce or your online presence supports your sales force. Everything that is published online is also a reflection of your public relations practices.
With digital marketing both practices are streamlined into your online presence to increase brand awareness and to prompt your audience with calls to action ~ promoting your products and services and for a streamlined e-commerce forum.
