Course Overview

Public relations (PR) is best described as efforts made to get people to think and talk about your business the way you want them to. PR strategy is a very important part of an organisation’s marketing plan. It is a good way to gain publicity without advertising.

Good PR has many advantages—it helps deal with problems effectively; it can attract and impress customers, potential employees, suppliers, distributors, possible business partners, etc. and promote an organisation’s online presence.

Both online and offline PR aims to get the message across to the target group. While an offline release is created and designed to send out a message, create buzz and garner interests, an online PR story delivers targeted web traffic, helps gain high search engine rankings and assists in building powerful backlinks. Corporate communication is the backbone of PR.

PR uses brand voice to communicate with a target audience in a way they would best understand. Good relations with the press help in the positive portrayal of an organisation to the audience. Press releases are news sources that make media relations a symbiotic relationship between businesses and the press.

Relations with the community promote presence and perception. These relations can be developed through business interactions or community programs conducted for a common charitable cause, with the organisations acting as donor, sponsor or volunteer. Business events are a valuable marketing tool and help create a positive image of an organisation and its community.

Good PR has many benefits, including increased investments, increased business through new clients, high-end talent and workforce, increased credibility, improved search engine optimisation, among others. A successful PR strategy is extremely important to ensure that PR efforts and initiatives cover all critical aspects and make the best of all available opportunities.

A good PR strategy should cover corporate communication, media relations, community relations, crisis management, event management, among others. Another important aspect for organisations, especially those catering to multiple locations, to keep in mind is that their corporate PR strategy and plan needs to cater and adjust to local trends.
