THE ROLE OF PUBLIC RELATIONS IN CORPORATE BRANDING
Abstract
The rapid growth of information communication technologies, particularly in the
product and service sector, have led consumers to become increasingly
selective, necessitating the importance of creating corporate brands. Public
relations aid this process. Today's consumers prefer brands with a certain
quality and value; in this context, corporate institutions, with a certain
image and awareness of social responsibility, wish to enhance and differentiate
their brands. In order to shape the corporate brand, public relations’
specialists use interactive communication strategies to meet the expectation of
the particular target group. This study
will look at the strategies employed to shape the corporate brand in the minds
of the target group and the consequential branding benefits to the organisation
will be examined. Within the scope of the study, a detailed literature search
was undertaken covering the brand creation process and its benefit to the
corporate institution was examined. As a result of the study, the importance of
public relations is highlighted in the process of creating and shaping a
corporate brand.
