This week on our INSTAGRAM (link opens new tab!) account I’ve been highlighting the critical elements of Public Relations in 2017.

The Public Relations Institute of Australia (PRIA) defines Public Relations (PR) as: “the deliberate, planned and sustained effort to establish and maintain mutual understanding between an organisation (or individual) and its (or their) publics. It’s the key to effective communication in all sectors of business, government, academic and not-for-profit.” 

How does that translate into simple terms in 2017?

It’s the art of communicating.

Yes, I believe there is an art to communicating and getting your message across.

A “good” PR practitioner knows who (how to drill down to your audience) to target, where (which outlets) to target, when (when is the best time to reach these media outlets and when is the best time for placement) to target your message.

Given the ever-increasing dominance of social media, messages can and must be shared across these channels as part of a comprehensive and effective PR campaign.

There’s no argument that the media landscape is incredibly “noisy”, in that through channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat (to name a few) having your share of voice is becoming more difficult.

That being said, there IS a way to get your product or service seen by your ideal customers. Talk to the experts (that’s the Pursuit Communications team!) about how we can create a tailored service to meet and achieve your goals.
