Its Time for Advertising to Take a Lesson(Gasp!) from Public RelationsAccording to a recent Ad Age article todays social-technical culture is forcing brands toemploy a new model for interacting with the public. A model based not on traditionaladvertising, but in the kind of focused dialogue that public relations specializes in.“Its clear that the future of advertising is public relations.”Its time for agencies to get past their preconceptions, and learn how the disciplines of PRcan improve their creative thinking…Instead of trying to condense your brand into astrategic statement, try writing a narrative for your brand. Thats what public relationsdoes…Theyre not your customers; theyre your constituents.People dont buy brands. They join them. So modern brands must function like politicalparties, identifying issues, expressing a coherent world view, staging debates andstructuring dialogues.Example: For the last 10 years, the Apple brand has been primarily expressed throughproduct unveilings, public appearances, media coverage, online communities andevangelist marketing not traditional advertising- yet they still have lines out their doorsevery time a new product is launched- that‟s PR.Link: http://nuads.us/IZRrfz numantra.com 214.635.2300
