Marketing

10. The Impact of PR on Consumer-Focused
Marketing
 Public relations professionals always believed in breaking
down publics into their smallest units, just as consumer-
focused marketing does.
 Good PR has always been two-way; the best practitioners have
always listened, not just talked to their publics.
 PR practitioners communicate with publics through media
those public prefer; consumer-focused marketer do the same.
 Sometimes an organization has to change to meet the needs of
publics, just the same as consumer-focused marketing involves
realizing that a product might need to change too.

11. Public Relations vs Marketing
 Marketing focuses primarily on only one public (consumers)
 Public Relations focused on relationships with all public
essential to an organizations’ success
 PR and marketing are “separate and equal but related
functions”, and must work together toward achieving
organizations goals.
