We prefer to define PR in a wider sense as a part of the company’s Coordinated Communication Plan. When our company started we were called a full service advertising/ marketing and promotion agency. We, and our clients, have always regarded us as Communication Consultants. PR will always be an important part of the services we provide, and an integrated part of any company’s communication with its shareholders, employees, clients, suppliers. We create long term, well functioning, and carefully budgeted Communication Plans. As we are constantly working in the market place we notice sometimes faster than our clients when trends and lifestyle change. We have the advantage of looking at their market place objectively- that is what they are paying us for. Some of our clients do not have their own marketing departments, and few have made provisions for PR within their plans. Our mission is to make sure that our clients’ products and services get the attention they need to take a position in highly competitive markets. PR starts within the company. All employees should be aware of the fact that they work in a company with a clear policy to build and maintain the right image for their products and services and in addition to this have a clearly defined plan to achieve set goals. After briefing by our clients about their objectives, priorities and target groups we develop the communication plan with all components such as staff information, and all activities interlinked and planned in detail to achieve maximum impact. Copy and graphic platforms are revised to fit the intended position in the market and all information material adapted to the COORDINATED COMMUNICATION PLAN. The media exposure plans are divided in advertising and conventional PR. In the latter the client’s message never appears as advertising, only as genuine news, that serious editors wish to publish. We also include detailed plans for media relations and crisis handling for those clients that do not have their own Press Officers or crisis handling departments. PR for New companies reads Coordinated Communication Many newly started companies have excellent products and services with experienced engineers, technicians, and financial departments, but have little or no experience of coordinated communication planning. Hence, their marketing budget is not fully utilised. Our philosophy is to grow with our small clients. If we can help them use their marketing budget wisely, they stay with us. Some of our clients came to us as newly started companies more than 20 years ago and are still with us.
