Apples and Oranges: Public Relations vs. Advertising

Source: Mad Men Pinterst Although seemingly synonymous in appearance, public relations and advertising are two different animals. While the literal definition of advertising is: “the act or practice of calling public attention to one’s product, service, need, etc.” it shouldn’t be misconstrued with public relations, which just happens to be an entirely different beast. With advertising you are paying for media coverage. For example, you might want your business showcased in the New York Times or Vogue Magazine and perhaps event mentioned on a New York metro radio station. Every media outlet offers various advertising rates — determined by page length or minutes – and can run anywhere around $1,895 to $10,000. More specifically, you are providing the media outlet with a pre-formatted flyer or marketing material and the media is simply displaying your ad in their designated advertising space. Pubic Relations, on the other hand, is a strategy used to obtain media coverage for your business without having to pay the media directly. Whether you decide to hire a PR agency or you attempt to do it yourself, you have to earn the right to have your story covered by a media outlet. Any random Joe can call up a news outlet and have their ad posted (for a set fee of course), but public relations is a bit trickier in the sense that you have to convince reporters or editors that your story is newsworthy.

Jr. the musical, of course! One of my first projects as a public relations specialist was to take on a gig that required the challenging task of making grammar school children into highly visible mega stars. I recall the PTA director persuasively affirming that this local grammar school production is worthy of media attention. “OK,” I thought, ” How do I get the media to bite into this news story and hopefully cover what appeared to be just another local grammar school play?” — boy, was I wrong.
