public relations and advertising collaboration


Have you guys ever wondered or asked yourself how advertising and public relations work effective together? I have an answer to your question. But first let me define what is advertising

How public relations and advertising connect

Advertising, however, is one element in the marketing mix. And on its own, cannot achieve the final objective of the marketing campaign, and the sale itself .Its task is to simply inform, announce, influence, persuade and educate. Advertising also concentrates on the organisations target publics namely its consumers, and it is aimed at making them aware of its product and services.  And this very task is also the responsibility of the public relations because a role of public relations is aimed at building a relationship with its stakeholders by communicating with the internal and external stakeholders. So if they work together, with a new product they will require public relations practitioner services to achieve public acceptance. In other words public relations role is to achieve acceptability and a reputation for a company before the consumer can buy its products.

It also helps public relations with corporate announcements such as listing statements and special supplements, and with the research inputs and design of corporate advertising. I also believe that public relations practitioners need to work together with advertising department to show their stakeholders and clients what they can offer them because if the public relations practitioner does not work effectively with the advertising agencies they will not be able to communicate with their stakeholders effectively.

Just remember and keep in mind that advertising and public relations have the same goals that is to build a solid relationship with their customers so that they can know what they need to change or improve while dealing with their clients and consumers.
Guys let me hear your views and comments about this topic and I hope that you guys have a clear view of the use of advertising in public relations.
