Essentially, PR is “free media coverage” – editorial placements achieved through a publicist’s efforts and relationships with the media. These editorial placements are much more credible than any advertisement, since it’s from the writer’s perspective. Many people confuse PR with advertising, yet advertising is paid placement where the business has complete control over the content.

What can PR do for my business?

PR helps your business gain exposure through media placements including print, TV and radio, as well as creating buzz among consumers and industry professionals. PR gives your business credibility and builds brand awareness for your product or service, both locally and nationally.
