Public Relations

Public relations is about planning and managing the way the target audience (from your situation analysis) perceives your business. Setting up a plan and strategy helps you address how to reach them, in order to provide them with the information they need to know. To do so, we must develop and manage the general key elements in most plans including budget, timeline, tactics, and established target market.

By doing so, everyone has a clear understanding of his/her role in all your PR efforts
