In the world of communication, advertising and public relations (PR) play distinct but complimentary functions. Advertising is a paid advertising strategy used to promote products, services, or brands. On the other hand, Public relations works in the field of earned media, focusing on the development and maintenance of a positive reputation for a company, individual, or cause.

Public Relations (PR)

Purpose
