There is a clear definition of what an Organization is?

An organization could be a company or a brand, an individual. And those who are getting facilities from organizations are the general people or the public.

Now there are two major terms in this PR. one is Traditional PR and the rest one and most important one is Digital PR.

These two PRs are different from each other in many ways. Let’s explore what is traditional and what is Digital PR.

What is Traditional PR?

Traditional PR is mainly based on Media releases just like releases on newspapers, television, or on the radio.

It could be press releases, an advertisement, any trade show. Even if that brand sponsors any event, it is a part of their PR. It is definitely the best thing for the product or company or brand promotion. But there is some question:

1. How many people watch this?

2. Do they really reach the people whom they really needed to be reached?

3. Did the promotion reach exact people who actually need to know about that brand or product?

4. How many times did it need to be published through newspaper or media for its publicity?

5. How many days it will be available on people’s minds if we stop promoting?

Is it really easy to answer all of those questions?

Yes, it’s really hard and that is the main drawback of Traditional PR. Again to get the publicity you need to wait for many days. You do not even calculate when you will be able to get a call from the client-side,

If you are running a traditional PR, you need to be more than patient and you have to wait for long, it could be a lifetime.

Do you want that?

When there is a problem, there is a solution. To get rid of all the problems created by Traditional PR, there comes Digital PR.

What is Digital PR?

Digital PR is actually the combination of traditional PR with content marketing, social media, keyword searching, and researching.
