PR, marketing and advertising have always gone hand in hand. The difference here between Online and Offline is that Offline PR does more or less the same thing as Online PR, only it deals with more traditional forms of media and marketing channels like radio, TV, print, events and other non virtual events.
Online PR and Pitching
Another difference between the two forms is pitching. Popular blogs are now as influential as many print publications, in fact many print publications now have their own blogs too. If you pitch a journalist badly they will either not lead with your story or just hang up on you, whereas a blogger may publish your pitch for all to see. Therefore it is imperative to get the pitch perfect first time around; otherwise it could backfire on you. This is something that webresults.ie will offer help and expertise with as a part of our digital marketing services and as a part of your new digital marketing strategy.
Online PR versus Internet Marketing
Often Digital PR and Internet Marketing are viewed as being very similar; however, they couldn’t be more different in their most important aspects:
Different Targets:
In Marketing, there are target markets, the people that companies are trying to sell something to and in Online PR there are target audiences which can consist of any group that can have an influence over the company.
Different Messages:
In internet marketing the message is designed to sell; drive sales and increase company revenue. Whereas in Digital PR the message can vary. It is not always designed to be promotional, sometimes a message can be put out by a company to show they care about a particular cause or else to announce a new campaign etc, that they feel the public and interested parties should know about and understand.
