What is Public Relations (PR)?
PR is essentially reputation management. In today's competitive world, your reputation is incredibly important. A great reputation can help you stand out from the crowd and give you a competitive edge.
Everyone has opinions about the organisations they come into contact with. These perceptions will drive their decisions about whether they want to work with you, shop with you, recommend you and support you. Effective PR can help shape perceptions by communicating and building relationships with your stakeholders.
Successful PR is all about knowing your audiences; clearly defining your messages; and knowing how best to get those messages, to those people.
Why PR?
Any organisation whether large or small, private or public, can benefit from good public relations. PR can be the difference between a customer actually knowing you exist and choosing you - over choosing your competitor. PR helps ensure your messages are clearly communicated to your target audiences.
Whether you are looking to communicate your strengths to potential customers; foster better relationships with your employees; launch a new product; or win over stakeholders - PR can greatly enhance your efforts.
The Chartered Institute of Marketing's Marketing Trends Survey 2009 shows PR as the most widely used marketing tool and second only to customer relationship management for generating the best return on investment.
Be Seen Be Heard provides honest, impartial advice to clients - if it isn't PR you need to achieve your business goals - Be Seen Be Heard will tell you so and advise you what it is you do need.
