Public Relations

Years ago, Marshall McLuhan said that “the medium is the message.” And the media has been bearing testimony ever since. You see, there’s a certain third-party credibility that media lend to a message that ads alone cannot achieve. The Wall Street Journal. Fortune. Your trusted local paper. The names themselves carry weight and inspire confidence.

To place an ad is one thing. To be written about something quite powerful.

With today's generations growing increasingly skeptical about marketing messages, entering through the back door can disarm their caution and win their trust. In fact, some argue that PR should drive business communication, with advertising serving to reinforce the message. 

PR and recruitment: Luxury or key element of an integrated strategy?
