🗣️ Corporate Communications is not PR!
As we embark on a new year, I plead with folks stop referring to #communications as “PR.”
The common misconception that corporate communications = public relations is a narrow view that limits the true scope and potential of communication professionals.
Because in reality, corporate communications is ✨stakeholder relations.✨
That means we are focused on everyone who interacts with your brand: employees, media, investors, execs, analysts, government bodies, and customers. #PR is a part of this, but it’s just one part of many within this highly strategic function.
What else? As stakeholder relationship managers, we know that each of these diverse group requires a tailored approach. And I’m not just talking about crafting press releases. Our field is about strategic, multifaceted engagement that resonates with ✨every✨ stakeholder.
A message that resonates with the #media certainly won’t be the same (or packaged in the same way) as a message to your employees. Ditto industry analysts (I promise, they don’t want to be treated like journalists).
So, let 2024 finally be the year that we broaden our perspectives. Let’s elevate our communications strategies—and teams—to be the highly strategic and impactful functions that they absolutely should be.✊
