“Brand publicity” is a type of public relations activity that focuses on generating media coverage and consumer interest in a company's brand. It is aimed at building brand recognition, enhancing reputation, and driving sales. Here are some ways companies can generate brand publicity: “Public affairs” is a branch of public relations that deals with the relationship between an organization and its stakeholders, including government officials, community groups, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). It involves managing the organization's reputation and ensuring that its interests are represented in public policy discussions and decisions. “Lobbying” is a type of public relations activity that involves influencing public policy or legislation in favor of an organization's interests. It involves engaging with elected officials, government agencies, or other decision-makers to advocate for specific policies or regulations that benefit the organization or its stakeholders. Lobbying can take many different forms, including face-to-face meetings, written communications, and public testimony. “Investor relations” is a branch of public relations that deals with the communication between a publicly traded company and its investors and financial stakeholders. It involves managing the company's relationships with analysts, shareholders, potential investors, and financial media to ensure that they have a clear understanding of the company's financial performance, strategy, and outlook. Investor relations is important because it helps to build trust and confidence among investors, which can impact the company's stock price and overall valuation. “Development” is the process of building and maintaining relationships with donors, sponsors, and other supporters in order to raise funds and support for an organization's mission and goals. This can involve a range of activities, such as fundraising campaigns, donor events, sponsorships, and grant applications. For example, a non-profit organization that provides medical aid to people in need may engage in development activities by organizing a fundraising campaign to raise funds for medical supplies and equipment. They may also seek out sponsors, such as pharmaceutical companies, to support their mission and provide additional resources. In addition, they may apply for grants from foundations or government agencies that provide funding for healthcare-related programs. Typical tools that companies use in context of public relations are: 1. News: Companies use news to share information about their activities, achievements, and milestones with the media and the public. This can include press releases, media alerts, and press conferences, and interviews. 2. Special events: Companies often organize special events, such as product launches, grand openings, and charity fundraisers, to generate publicity and engage with stakeholders. 3. Written materials: Companies use a variety of written materials, such as brochures, fact sheets, and annual reports, to provide information about their products, services, and accomplishments. 4. Videos: Videos are a powerful tool for PR, as they can be used to showcase products or services, tell stories, and share information in an engaging and memorable way. 5. Corporate identity materials: Companies use corporate identity materials, such as logos, slogans, and mission statements, to create a consistent and recognizable brand image that resonates with stakeholders. 6. Public service activities: Companies engage in public service activities, such as community service projects and charitable donations. “Marketing control” is the process of monitoring and evaluating the performance of marketing activities to ensure they are meeting organizational goals and objectives. It involves measuring the effectiveness of marketing strategies and tactics, and making adjustments as needed to improve performance. “Marketing Return on Investment (ROI)” is a metric used to measure the efficiency and profitability of a marketing campaign or initiative. It is a way of evaluating how much revenue a company generates from its marketing efforts compared to how much was spent on those efforts. The higher the ROI, the more profitable the marketing campaign was. To calculate ROI, you need to subtract the cost of the marketing campaign from the revenue generated by the campaign, and then divide that number by the cost of the campaign. The resulting number is a percentage that represents the return on investment. For example, let's say a company spends €5,000 on a social media advertising campaign and generates €10,000 in sales from that campaign. To calculate the ROI, we would subtract €5,000 from €10,000, which equals €5,000. Then, we would divide €5,000 by €5,000, which equals 1. Finally, we would multiply 1 by 100 to get a percentage, which means the ROI of the campaign is 100%. This means for every dollar spent on the campaign, the company generated €2 in revenue.
