Read before you decide
- FoundationPublic relations 101: earning trust you cannot buyPublic relations earns attention through journalists, experts and an organisation's own voice instead of buying space. It covers media relations, crisis and corporate communications, reputation and public affairs, is bound by professional ethics codes, and is now measured by outcomes under the Barcelona Principles, not by the advertising value of clippings.
- FoundationAdvertising 101: television, radio, print and cinemaHow paid brand advertising in the traditional media works, who does what between the creative and the media side, how it is bought and measured, what it costs, and the rules that apply before an advert goes on air.
- FoundationThe brand platform and the message house: one source for every disciplineWhat a brand platform holds (positioning, proposition, proof, voice), how to build a message house on top of it, and how one platform keeps advertising, PR, social, sales and service saying the same thing in their own words.
