...Impacts of Chinese Government PR 1 Running Head: IMPACTS OF CHINESE GOVERNMENT PR Impacts of Chinese Government Public Relations: PR Expertise, Legitimacy and News October 31, 2007 Impacts of Chinese Government PR 2 Abstract Over the past five years, Chinese government has deployed considerable amount of resources to enhance government public relations expertise with the hope of achieving more positive media coverage by Western media. However, the effectiveness of government public relations strategies is not only contingent upon public relations expertise but also upon legitimacy of Chinese government perceived by journalists. This study finds out that Chinese government public relations efforts have been helpful in raising the number of attributions to Chinese government sources in U.S. media coverage of China, but do not improve the image of China in U.S. media coverage and the valence of China in American public opinion. Impacts of Chinese Government PR 3 Impacts of Chinese Government Public Relations: PR Expertise, Legitimacy and News China has become more involved in the international community economically and politically since the reforming and the opening policies in the late 1970s. As a result, China has gradually played an important role in international economy and politics. Simultaneously, China has seen an influx of Western tourists and businessmen.

...changed in the online world with the introduction of new media, in particular the explosion of social media. This has not only changed how people interact and communicate with each other, it has also had a massive effect on how consumers interact with organisations and businesses. With this in mind, public relations practitioners must now consider how to engage their audience whilst embracing social media as part of an integrated public relations strategy. The term “social media” commonly refers to online social networking sites and blogs and has been proclaimed as leading a universal change that allows instantaneous worldwide, connected communication (Weaver Lariscy et al., 2009, p.314). Where traditional public relations methods such as press releases and statements, can be viewed as being structured and more of a scripted and guarded approach (Anonymous, 2010, p.1), social media has the ability to facilitate a more open engagement method tailored for the target audience, which can be effectively implemented within a multi faceted approach to gain rapid momentum for the organisation as it grows and evolves. Ultimately social media can be the element of a public relations strategy that ‘cuts to the chase’ and delivers the desired messaging to the audience and engages by provided an opportunity for two-way communication and a forum for public opinion, both good and bad (Hudson, 2010, pp.210-1). With this in mind, social media tactics must be aligned with the organisations overall...

...‘Because professional personnel in construction and real estate industries are key actors in the process of converting sales leads into purchases, specific training in sales, PR and advertising technique should be part of their professional training’ Debate this statement illustrating your answer with examples from your own experience. You may elect to discuss either the construction or real estate industry for your examples. The professional working in the house building industry must have an overview of the company structure and how each different department fits cohesively with another. It would be naïve and ignorant for a sales manager for example, not to have an understanding of the construction or land process however limited. Similarly the sales manager must be aware and have an understanding of the client added benefits and differentiation of their services or product from a similar competitor. If the statement is to be accepted that professionals are key actors in the process of sales leads into the purchases, then this is very likely to be personal selling (as apposed to general selling). ‘Personal selling is done face to face, this demands good interpersonal skills’1 and ‘most sales people are well educated well trained professionals who work to build and maintain long-term relationships with customers’2. The larger the company the more likely this statement will be true. It ‘is a form of marketing communication and as such is part of the firm’s communication...

Lindsey Kin recently chatted to a few ‘movers and shakers’ in the industry to get the low-down on the do’s and don’ts for journalists to follow when it comes to event etiquette. By Lindsey Kin Janie M van der Spuy, who heads up FIVESTAR PR, a boutique PR agency in Cape Town specialising in the luxury travel and hospitality industries, says that she has one simple request on her ‘wish list’ for media events. “I would like to appeal to journalists to acknowledge invitations when they receive them and if they know they won’t be available that day, to please decline immediately.” She adds: “We don’t want to hassle you and waste your time with follow-up emails, phone calls and leaving messages – we know you are busy – but would so appreciate the courtesy of a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ by the RSVP date!” Emma Dunk of emBETWEEN COMMUNICATIONS concurs, “Have the decency to RSVP.” And if you are unable to attend, says Ronelle Bester, owner of Ribbon...

...compelling and relevant documents The Course Project The course project will involve you in developing an integrated marketing communications (IMC) plan for a brand of your choice. Integrating marketing communications entails identifying a brand message and then conveying that brand message through a series of touch points that are relevant to the target customer. The figure presented in the Week 1 lecture captures the steps involved in developing an IMC plan—the brand is the central concern around which the IMC plan is developed. Early in the process, we establish who the customer is, what the customer wants, where the customer is, and then we think about how we will reach the customer in the space they are in, with what message, and which media. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A MARKETING PLAN OR A BUSINESS PLAN - The IMC plan focuses on what we traditionally refer to as the Promotion P., and what we are now viewing as Communicating the Value. Select a brand that you feel passionate about - you are going to live with it for the next 2 months. You might select a brand that you can see has an obvious problem that can be helped by an IMC - for example the brand may be organic but...

Did the technology make the process of working with the virtual team easier? Why or why not?

My big takeaways were that of the five key contributors to the meeting none of us is really deeply using the "traditional" social media in our current environments.

...3rd April Word limit: 1000 Date: 14th March 2014 Word count: 998 * Brief This assessment was commissioned to critically analyse two examples of Public Relation activities occurred in the chocolate bar industry. In a world where communication runs as the speed of the light, a good reputation plays a decisive role indeed. In fact, the company’s reputation can be considered as one of its biggest assets (Hayman, 2011). For this reason a critical analysis of PR examples, may help to pragmatically understand the effects of a good or bad use of PR activities. A good reputation not only makes a company stand out from the mass, but it also gives a competitive edge too (Samuelson et al., 2000). Furthermore, effective PR creates a positive impact on the company’s reputation by communicating and creating good connections with all the organisation’s stakeholders (Jobber, 2010). * Mars’s England Sponsorship Mars chocolate bars has been developing, around its slogan “Work - Rest - Play” created in 2008, a unique marketing strategy (Mars, 2014; Sweney, 2008). From that moment, Mars has been trying to associate itself as the chocolate bars for sport lovers and, since 2009, it is the official snack supplier of England’s football team (Mars, 2014). One of the most interesting campaign is the one called “Work, Rest and Play your Part in England”, ran in 2012.
