Frequently Asked Questions

If you have other questions, please contact us for more information.

What is Public Relations?

Public Relations is the practice of maintaining and strengthening a brand’s reputation by establishing meaningful relationships built on trust and respect. An essential function of Public Relations is helping develop clear messages for a defined audience, and determining the best way in which to communicate that message.

Do I need Public Relations?

Yes! Public Relations is essential to the modern business. It may be difficult to understand if you’ve never engaged the help of a PR practitioner before. Once you have though, you’ll quickly learn to appreciate the objectivity and insight PR brings to the table.

Do you offer ongoing research or subscription services?

The fact is, managers inherently have a planar view their business or organization. Public Relations helps managers view their organization three-dimensionally, bringing into account the external forces that impact us whether we are aware of it or not. With this insight, managers are empowered with the perspective they need to make well-rounded, informed decisions that result in more positive outcomes.

Are marketing and PR the same thing?

Not exactly. Together, marketing and PR make up a well-balanced holistic communications strategy. The difference is, where marketing encompassed the paid side of communications (i.e. advertising) and is more product and sales focused, PR emphasizes the “earned” side of communications with a primary function of supporting a positive brand reputation by leveraging traditional and non-traditional media.

How do I know if my Public Relations is working?

A good PR plan is a measurable one. When we work with a client, our first step is to identify what success looks like to them. Next, we define ‘SMART objectives’ that serve as indicators of success. A SMART objective is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timebound. Applying these parameters to our objectives helps us to evaluate the level at which our efforts are successful and creating value for the client.
