What is Public Relations?
Public relations (PR) in Hartford is the practice of managing the flow of information between an organization and its markets. Public relations gains an organization or individual exposure to their audiences using topics of public interest and news items that do not require direct payment.
Because public relations places exposure in credible third-party outlets, such as print, broadcast and Internet media, it offers a third-party legitimacy that advertising does not have. Common activities include speaking at conferences, working with the press, and employee communication.
Both print and digital PR in the Greater Hartford area can be used to build rapport with employees, customers, investors, voters, or the general public. Almost any organization that has a stake in how it is portrayed in the public arena employs some level of public relations. A number of specialties exist within the field of public relations, such as Analyst Relations, Media Relations, Investor Relations or Labor Relations.
