Laura Ries Explains the Brand Building Advantage of PR Over Advertising

A record lunchtime audience of 89 Ad Club and PRSA-NJ members heard best-selling author and leading marketing strategist Laura Ries explore the rise of public relations as the key brand-building tool at Mayfair Farms on April 16.

Citing such well-known names as Palm, Starbucks and Wal-Mart, the co-author of The Fall of Advertising & The Rise of PR noted that those major brands were successfully launched through publicity, not advertising.

Her first rule is to establish the brand with PR, then advertise to reaffirm its position in the marketplace.

Art Part II. Messages from Mesopotamia

Various measurement approaches, such as Likert scales to measure member attitudes and semantic differential scales to measure perceived image of the club, provided a statistically sound basis from which to draw conclusions.

Breakfast Series Off to Great Start

Elaine Kamm, President, EKGroup, led a group of Ad Club members and guests along a clear, concise pathway March 26 at Borders in Livingston as she coached them on “How to Become Executive Material (and Stay that Way).”

The result of her extremely detailed analysis of leadership qualities, acquiring them, keeping them and using them effectively in any environment was that the attentive audience all left convinced each was a leader.

Pertinent points included the distinction between management and leadership — management is about getting things done, Ms. Kamm said; leadership is about making a difference. Leadership, she added, is not made by decree; it is granted by those who want to be led by you.
