FAQs

  • Public relations (PR) creates and sustains authentic, trustworthy communication between an organisation and the people who matter most to it. PR is highly strategic and is important for businesses in many ways, helping to build credibility; maintain a great reputation; influence attitudes; and create shared understanding. This is achieved through careful planning, risk mitigation, setting objectives, using a range of tactics and skilful monitoring and evaluation.

  • In public relations, crisis management is how a business, organisation or person responds to an unexpected issue or event that could have a significant impact on their reputation, stakeholders, or operations. A crisis can happen at any time, so it’s important for businesses to always have an up-to-date crisis communications plan in case the worst happens. It is also vital to have a trusted and experienced advisor to call on, in case you need support to navigate and guide the response.

  • A communications strategy is essentially a high-level roadmap for what you want to say, when you want to say it, and how you will deliver it. The strategy will carefully consider your stakeholders or audiences and how best to communicate with them to achieve your objectives. It will also highlight any potential risks and how to mitigate them, and set the targets that need to be met. At Priority Communications, we live and breathe strategic communications, so get in touch if you need a hand.
