Why PR is better than marketing
Because it uses mass media, advertising offers more immediate effects and much greater revenue than PR. However, these effects are usually short-term, and as explained earlier, they need PR to be effective anyway. PR is a cheaper, less visible process, but when properly executed, its effects are long-term and will make marketing cheaper, or at least more efficient, in the long run.
Flexibility is another advantage of PR over marketing. Because it’s a dynamic process, it’s easy to change a message or subject midway through the PR plan. The same applies to skills and resources – an advertising team must consist of competent writers, artists, designers, and media specialists, while a PR practitioner is well versed, though not necessarily an expert, in all fields.
