Companies tend to emphasize PR when they’re launching their brand, unveiling a new product or reaching a business milestone—but how about after the dust settles on these events? Earned media coverage and press outreach doesn’t stop after launching a campaign. PR is an integral part of marketing and should play a key role in brand strategy throughout a company’s lifecycle. We’re here to show you why PR is so essential in marketing.

Public relations and marketing go hand in hand. While similar in their actions and tactics, they have very different objectives.

The primary goal of public relations is to boost the reputation of your brand, whereas the primary goal of marketing is to drive sales.

Public relations doesn’t always have a direct impact on sales, as marketing would. Often, your products or services are indirectly promoted through the distribution of press releases or keynote speakers at industry events. Similarly, marketing campaigns focus on leading consumers through the sales funnel and boosting profits rather than improving the consumers’ perception of your brand.

Using public relations and marketing together drives the best results for your organization. A potential customer typically connects with your brand as a result of your public relations efforts and can be converted to a customer as a result of your marketing tactics. PR is a complement to marketing, providing an added dimension to the brand and working with marketing to get the message across. Where PR shines is in its ability to provide a brand credibility by putting a “face” to a name. Think of it as a second dimension to the branding process.
