What is public relations?
Public relations is a strategic communication process companies, individuals, and organisations use to build mutually beneficial relationships with the public.
Before you invest your resources in public relations services, it’s imperative that you have a rough idea of what PR is all about. It’s the process of creating and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships between a brand and its publics. The term publics here refers to the media, key stakeholders, social media influencers, and, most importantly, your customers.
Contrary to what most people believe, public relations is not all about getting good press. It’s a strategy that ensures you have more control of your brand story and your business maintains a positive image.
There are plenty of benefits your brand can get from engaging in public relations. Your business will enjoy more brand awareness. It’s also a marketing strategy that ensures your message reaches your clients at the right time and place.
Partnering with a reputable public relations agency such as MassCitizen guarantees highly effective campaigns. Our agency isn’t only skilled in public relations, but we have a close connection with award-winning journalists, bloggers, and influencers in Canada. We can utilize these connections to get your brand name out there and increase leads.
