The public relations industry is built on communication and relationships between stakeholders. Traditionally the main contacts to get your message seen, heard and trusted was through journalists writing for media publications.

While this is still a valid tactic for your campaign, the rise of digital platforms giving voices to those not in journalism roles saw the creation of a service reaching out to these new voices on behalf of brands. The voices we know now as online influencers. The method remains the same, so how can we leverage influencers?

What is the relationship between influencer marketing and public relations?

Influencer marketing should be as important as traditional PR tactics in your overall strategy. It is the ideal solution for creating positive brand associations, getting your campaign read, shared and talked about, often instantly. The unbiased nature of a ‘real’ person sharing their opinion and experience of a brand is far more attractive to the average consumer looking for inspiration.
