DID YOU KNOW MUCH OF YOUR 'MARKETING' IS ACTUALLY PR?
As we heard in a previous episode (312: POCKET PR ESSENTIALS / Unpacking public relations: Busting myths), PR is largely misunderstood in the business world.
But so too is marketing, which is often equated simply to running ads or any activity that promotes a brand.
There are a few differences between PR and marketing, with no shortage of crossover between the two.
Understanding these differences will give you an edge over those who are perennially confused and thus get caught in the trap of just 'doing stuff' without understanding why.
