...exploit the target markets or to solve problems of the organizations. Theoretically, a PR campaign has been defined as a “concerted effort of an organization to build socially responsible relationships by achieving research-based goals through the application of communication strategies and the measurement of outcomes” (Kendall 1996, p.3). This paper examines the value of the modern-day IPR practice through a case study from an overwhelmingly successful IPR campaign ‘Best Job in the World’ sponsored by Tourism Queensland, Australia. Firstly, the research methodology will be introduced. Secondly, an introduction of the campaign will be sketched. In the third section of the paper, the analysis of the campaign is structured in three subitems with theoretical references. In the following section, a post-hoc evaluation tries to examine the case through a logical model. Lastly, by drawing from the previous analysis and evaluation, the paper exposes the findings in the values of modern-day IPR campaign. Research Methodology When considering what research methodology is appropriate and shall be adopted in the course of analyzing and evaluating this IPR campaign, it is important to understand the patterns and attributes of the study case. In view of the ‘Best job in the world’ IPR campaign is a typical model of modern-day IPR campaign, which is different from traditional PR campaign in terms of the PR strategies, execution and communication channels. Therefore, research methods correspondingly...

...The Future of Shopping - Harvard Business Review http://hbr.org/2011/12/the-future-of-shopping/ar/pr The Future of Shopping by Darrell Rigby Idea in Brief A decade after the dot-com implosion, traditional retailers are lagging in their embrace of digital technologies. To survive, they must pursue a strategy of omnichannel retailing—an integrated sales experience that melds the advantages of physical stores with the information-rich experience of online shopping. Retailers face challenges in reaching this goal. Many traditional retailers arenʼt technology-savvy. Few are adept at test-and-learn methodologies. They will need to recruit new kinds of talent. And theyʼll need to move away from analog metrics like same-store sales and focus on measures such as return on invested capital. Traditional retailers must also transform the one big feature internet retailers lack—stores—from a liability into an asset. They must turn shopping into an entertaining, exciting, and emotionally engaging experience. Companies like Disney, Apple, and Jordanʼs Furniture are leading the way.

...Evaluation of the Methodology… Pg 5 Explanation on how the researcher used this method… Pg 6 Comments on the contribution of the research… Pg 7 Conclusion… Pg 7 References… Pg 8 Introduction “Friction between Public Relations( PR) and advertising( marketing) comes from bad organizational alignment,” says Scott( Anonymous 66:3). This quote shows us there are many discrepancies between both fields. This quantitative study was conducted by Miss Margalit Toledano, from the “Management Communication Department” of The University of Waikato, New Zealand. By using questions compiled in the form of a survey, 39 New Zealand practitioners were tested. The research problem, questioned the influence of inter-profession challenges, by examining the differences between the PR and advertising industries (Toledano 230). This research problem is significant, because the results of the study showed that PR practitioners were not able to take advantage of the technology, such as social media, in an effort to leverage their professional status or improve their position within the company. This problem is made worse, through the reality that both PR and advertising are still looking for ways to benefit from social media, and both industries are still in the infancy stage of using social media. This research is important because “Social media promises to deliver big changes in getting feedback from the public and attaining public input...

... Graduate employability 2012 with Dr Paul Redmond Discussions on student employability are now more ‘en vogue’ than ever before. GMT explores the issues and challenges brought on by fast changing higher education and technology landscapes with an exclusive interview: AGCAS’s new President Elect, and one of the best known experts and public figures in the field, Dr Paul Redmond, talks to Aphrodite Papadatou about graduate employability in the year 2012 – and beyond.1 AP: The recent higher education white paper reinforces governmental concern for employability. How will this affect the provision of undergraduate degrees? Will some disciplines where employment rates are low become ‘extinct’? PR: I think the sector is going through a phase where it is asking itself big questions like ‘what is higher education for?’ and often answers to these are shaped by instrumentalist concerns – such as all university courses should contribute to the economy. In some ways, this is fairly recent idea, but it has now become so mainstream to be almost ubiquitous. This strikes me as being a pity. Not only does it challenge the idea of the university, even economically, it doesn’t make sense. We need the artistic skills of the arts and humanities to innovate and produce future technology – think for example of the iPad: technology meets art and design. The only reason why early Apple computers offered different fonts was because Steve Jobs, prior to being thrown out of university, had been on a calligraphy...

...occurrences were promoted through smaller scale weekly newspapers. Let’s take a quick trip back in time and follow the evolution of Public Relations: The Early Years One of the earliest cases of disaster management through PR was in the 1890s when 80 baseball players left the National League. As you can imagine, fans and owners were in an uproar. With the help of a little media outreach, the National League was able to help straighten out management-labor disputes and secure the relationships amongst the players, fans and owners. While this may not be the most modern form of Public Relations (and was certainly not called “Public Relations” at the time), it’s important to be able to relate what happened here to the basics of our job: using interpersonal communication, literature, public events and art to persuade other individuals to believe in our client’s services and/or programs. The First Publicist Historical figures such as Henry Ford and Theodore Roosevelt have been attributed with being the first to utilize the basic PR concepts: “positioning” and “ready accessibility.” In other words, these men were able to position themselves as thought leaders who were easily accessible to the press. But it wasn’t until 1906 that a man came along and changed PR forever: enter Mr. Ivy Lee. Ivy Lee was the first public relations counselor and was hired by famous industrialist John D. Rockefeller. Our friend Rockefeller was facing some serious issues in Colorado, known as the “Ludlow...

...Company Case XEROX: adapting to the turbulent marketing environment Question 1 Micro environmental factors affecting XEROX: First, “the change” was one important factor affecting XEROX performance at late 1990’s. In this period Xerox failed to adapt itself to the rapidly changing marketing environment. Thus, customers stopped being dependant on the company’s leading products like “stand-alone copiers” to share their documents. The machines by which they could scan documents and customize them were what they needed and wanted. Second, “the competitors” such as IBM, etc. were another factor affecting the company. These companies used to provide more sophisticated document management solutions. And the company also had a very weak PR or customer relation management. Question 2 Macro environmental factors affecting XEROX: First, “the great recession” which depressed the company’s core printing and copying equipments and services severely. And it resulted in tumbling down the sales amount and stock price in the market once again. Second, “the globalization” was the another factor that it made the world become one global village and customers started travelling around the world more frequently. Thus customers found the size and weight of stand-alone copier so difficult to carry with them and also it did not make sense to purchase another copier in anywhere they go. Question 3 The answer of our group is YES Because, the company made the best strategy by focusing on the...

Storytelling is the process of explaining real or fictional events through narrative (Storytelling, 2015). Complex ideas are depicted in an entertaining way or an emotional connection helps consumers remembering information (ibid.) by “building a picture of a company” (Bacon, 2013). It is said that people recall facts more easily when emotions are involved (Storytelling, 2015). Especially millennials, who have a shorter attention span and are exposed to an immense mass of information (2015), are more likely to remember an ad that is more interactive (Storytelling, 2015). Why Did I Select Coca-Cola? Coca-Cola is the soft drink giant par excellence – With a global market share of 25.9% in the soft drink market in 2011 (Statista website, 2015), the company has achieved what many companies dream of – Global brand recognition, meaning people can identify Coca-Cola without being directly exposed to the company’s name, but rather to its logo or colors (Brand Recognition, 2015)....

...Trends in Public Relations Until recently most public relations activity involved person-to-person contact between PR professionals and members of the media, such as journalists and television news reporters. However, several trends are developing that alter the tasks performed by PR people. In most cases these changes are the result of new Internet technologies that are quickly gaining widespread acceptance among Internet users and are becoming new media outlets in their own right. Trends include: Updating Corporate News Corporate Blogs Social Media RSS Feeds Podcasting Search Engine Optimization PR Trends: Updating Corporate News Developing websites has long been a time-consuming and often overly technical undertaking for the vast majority of marketers. However, this changed with the evolution of easier to use website development applications, called content management systems (CMS), which allow for quick creation and convenient updating of site information. With CMS those with access, including public relations personnel, can add information on a regular basis. In addition, posting company news to websites can be tied to social media and RSS feeds, thereby allowing for automatic notification. Many journalists and other media members are finding social media and RSS feeds to be a more convenient way to acquire information, particularly if they follow certain industries and can monitor specific industry information websites.
