Public relations pivots from media to digital

Public relations has shifted from print media to digital media and a good public relations agency will offer traditional and digital public relations Australia services.


There is always going to be space for print media but digital public relations Australia has slowly taken over. Most people who look for PR these days, or for any kind of marketing or advertising, are looking for this to be on the internet. As we know, anybody who has a connection to the internet is using the internet. People use the internet to shop, buy groceries, books, clothes and travel on holidays, people use the internet to book theatre tickets or to review books, they use the internet to watch television or movies, and they use the internet for socialising. They are therefore seeing all the adverts on the internet, which is why digital marketing is the new way of PR.

Print media verse the internet

To be honest, a public relations agency is not going to convince you why one thing is better than the other, but they are going to look at your line of business, look at the message you are trying to get across, look at who your actual and definitive target market is, and look at the best ways to get an audience to take note of you. They will analyze your product, perhaps you want PR for a new hotel, or a book, or your vintage store, and they will weigh up the options between print media and digital media. Print media generally includes newspapers and magazines, leaflets too, and then there is also visual media, which is television, and sound media which is radio or podcasts. They will analyse your market and your product and most likely, will suggest that digital media is the way forward. And this is because digital media and digital PR are the way forward for everyone these days. Sometimes digital marketing or digital PR is combined with print or visual media or marketing too, but it does not have to be. It depends on your product, your target customer or target audience, and it depends on your budget too.


Marketing and budget

The size of your budget depends on the kind of marketing or public relations campaign that is designed for you. If you are wanting to advertise something huge, perhaps a Broadway show in New York, then you will want television, radio, newspaper and digital marketing PR. If you are wanting to bring awareness to your new poetry book, you will probably go digital, using a combination of the social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for social media posts, and some paid advertising. It all depends on what you are selling and what kind of allowance you have. A PR agency will do all the analysis and research and come up with the right PR campaign for you and your product.

All PR campaigns are tailor-made to suit the client, the product, the audience and the budget. A marketing campaign by a PR agency is likely to include PR on the internet, such as digital public relations Australia, as the internet is where people are looking.
