  8. What is PR? “Public relations is about reputation - the result of what you do, what you say and what others say about you. Public relations is the discipline which looks after reputation, with the aim of earning understanding and support and influencing opinion and behaviour. It is the planned and sustained effort to establish and maintain goodwill and mutual understanding between an organisation and its publics.” Source: Chartered Institute of Public Relations (http://www.cipr.co.uk/direct/looking.asp?v1=what, visited 19/2/08, my italics)

  9. Why reputation? • "Reputation, reputation, reputation! O I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial. My reputation, Iago, my reputation!" (Cassio to Iago Othello Act 2 Scene 3) • “Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.” (Abraham Lincoin) • “Don't consider your reputation and you may do anything you like” (Chinese proverb) • “It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it” (Benjamin Franklin)

  10. Why reputation? • Because… Perception is reality

  13. Some common misconceptions about PR • PR is free advertising / publicity • It is not free • Although it can be a more effective use of money • It is not advertising • Although it is also good for generating awareness • PR is separate from IMC • No it is essential • But some PR is concerned with non-marketing activities • Lobbying, investor relations, etc. • PR is not that effective • Some companies have used PR build strong awareness in place of advertising

  14. Strengths and issues with PR

  20. The problem of integration

  21. PR, marketing and IMC • One difficulty in talking about PR as part of the promotional mix (IMC), is that it’s activities are often concerned with issues outside marketing • It is usually not a good idea to let marketers get too involved with lobbying, investors, governments, civic bodies, etc, but these are important PR activities • One solution is to think of PR as divided into two types • Marketing PR (MPR) concerned with supporting the overall marketing mix and integrated marketing communications • Corporate PR (CPR) not directly concerned with marketing, but with the whole corporation and its relationship with its publics • For eBay you should concentrate on MPR

  22. Integration of marketing and PR Ideal

  29. Summary • PR is part of IMC, but is also concerned with corporate image (MPR / CPR) • Good MPR is fully integrated into the campaign • PR is not free advertising • But PR is excellent for generating awareness and is very credible • Interactive media and new technology has created many new PR channels, but it has made it easier for bad publicity to spread
