Q. Is the same as Marketing? β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
A. We πŸ‘πŸ» get πŸ‘πŸΌ thisπŸ‘πŸ½ oneπŸ‘πŸΎ a lot! β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

The main difference is that is focused on promoting and selling a specific product or service, whereas Public Relations is focused on maintaining a POSITIVE reputation for a company or brand. ⏬⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
Traditionally, PR professionals are responsible for writing press releases, pitching positive stories to the media, securing speaking opportunities for executives, and managing the company messaging. Marketing professionals are responsible for creating advertising campaigns, managing PPC, media buying, and using industry data to deliver maximum returns for clients. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €
The reason why they are often combined or thought of as 'the same,' is because you can't market without doing a bit of PR, and you can't do PR without a bit of marketing. The two functions thrive off of one another and require a special connection to carry out key business objectives. β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €β €

What's your Brand Ethos?🌟

Let's start with the basics -- Ethos is a Greek word meaning character. In this instance, we're using it to talk about your brand purpose -- what makes you jive -- what makes you get up in the morning.

πŸ“Œ Having a purpose is important because now, more than ever, consumers are choosing which brands to purchase from based heavily on the impact that they have; we call them 'Consumers With a Conscience.' These are the customers that you WANT to have; they're mindful, thoughtful, courageous, and socially responsible. Building a brand with an Ethos, or a purpose will ultimately drive this connectivity among your target audience.

πŸ“Œ Today we're using ours as an example. At , we are:
1. Thoughtful
2. Elevated
3. Bold
4. Passionate
5. Authentic
6. Kind

These 6 principles underlay are the foundation that bridges each one of us together. They are the fundamentals of how we do business and allow them to serve as our 'promise' to clients that we will instill these characteristics in everything that we do as a business.

Today on the Sidenote: We're tackling PR Tactics For Every Growth Phase of Business. 🌟

As entrepreneurs, it seems that we’re offered ALL of the advice, ALL of the time, right? Well, one of the pieces of advice that we’ve heard one too many times from small business clients is that they shouldn’t implement a PR strategy until they’ve hit six-figures in revenue. πŸ›‘ It’s a myth that has to stop.

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ The truth is that you need good PR to grow your business and build awareness for your brand. Sure, social media is great, but it isn’t the only vehicle for sharing your products and services with the world.
