The Role of PR
• The traditional perspective of PR is as a non-marketing function
• To maintain a mutually beneficial relationship between the organisation and its publics
• Which includes not just customers but employees, investors, special interest groups etc
• At the other end PR is considered as part of the marketing communication function

The Role of PR
• The new role of PR envisions both strong PR and strong marketing departments
• Where both work together to provide the best overall image of the firm and its products
• PR therefore contributes in its own way but in a way that is consistent with marketing goals
