Companies think about their PR when they receive bad press, or when they have exciting news to share but are unsure of when to share it. The general course of action in any case, good or bad, is to issue a press release-which is only <em>part<\/em> of the process. The best way to approach a PR issue is to create a PR marketing strategy. Having one in place gives a company control&nbsp;of its brand image and be proactive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\nis A PR Marketing Strategy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A PR Marketing Strategy is a great way to create good press and manage bad press as well. It allows a company to create press and public relations while strengthening its brand image. This PR aspect goes hand-in-hand with the marketing side of the strategy to create overall success. Like any marketing plan, it starts with a measurable goal. The marketing strategy aspect outlines the steps a business must take to achieve that goal. Content creation and timing from the marketing side allows a PR marketing strategy to be born. From relations to ideas, a company with a PR marketing strategy in place is sure to see a drastic improvement in their business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ice Bucket Challenge<\/span>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One example of a successful PR marketing strategy was the ALS Association&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alsa.org\/fight-als\/ice-bucket-challenge.html\">Ice Bucket Challenge<\/a>. Their goal was to raise awareness for ALS, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig&#8217;s Disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newswire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/als-ice-water.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7500\" width=\"484\" height=\"318\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It all started with a single video that challenged others to dump a bucket of ice water on themselves and\/or donate money to the cause. Millions of people shared and took part of the challenge. From <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/3111965\/here-are-the-27-best-celebrity-ice-bucket-challenge-videos\/\">celebrities<\/a> to politicians, to local community groups, almost everyone did the Ice Bucket Challenge. One video made the cause go viral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This challenge quickly became a viral sensation. Allowing this challenge to take place in the heat of summer was great timing on the association&#8217;s part. Who wouldn&#8217;t want a quick relief of ice cold water and ice cubes on a hot summer day? This challenge also did it&#8217;s part of creating awareness for ALS. It leveraged the power of social media and the press to raise millions of dollars and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/07\/28\/health\/the-ice-bucket-challenge-helped-scientists-discover-a-new-gene-tied-to-als.html\">scientific breakthrough<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Target\u2019s 50 States of Target<\/span>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newswire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/50States_ABV_Header_745x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7496\" width=\"481\" height=\"258\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Target created &#8220;50 States of Target&#8221; to build connections in local communities. They wanted to showcase the good they do in the communities close to Target stores across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On their <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.target.com\/about\/history\/50-States-of-Target\">website<\/a>, they have chosen to showcase a story about how they have been able to help their community. From donations, community events, or environmental impacts, Target talks about little things they try to do to make a good impression. This information was shared via social media and helped connect people to the company and within their community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Showcasing the work they have done and the impact they have made makes a great story for PR and marketing. They published the <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate.target.com\/about\/history\/50-States-of-Target\">50 States of Target<\/a> page in 2018 just as they opened a store in Vermont. This entices people to visit their local store and shop there because of the connection they have with the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Lyft<\/span>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lyft is a ride-share service that has embraced the power of influencer marketing in their PR Marketing Strategy.
