Concepts from the article

PRPublic Relations. Activities that build an organization's reputation and relationships with its surroundings: media, customers, employees, partners, and communities. PR includes press releases, media relations, crisis management, events, and brand narrative.

Why it matters: It builds what no advertisement can buy: credibility in someone else's voice. An editorial publication and a well-managed crisis carry more weight than a campaign — because it is a third party speaking, not the brand about itself.

When it is used: Constantly: media relations, press releases, interviews, events; especially during a crisis and during changes within the company.

What happens if it is omitted: Without media relations, a company speaks only through paid channels, and in a crisis it is left without spokespeople and without trust.
