Thought Leadership: PR Is Not Dead

Image
Like every other PR practitioners, we couldn’t help but to read PR-related articles (very cliché, we know). Of all that we read, one article by Craig Pearce - an industry commentator from Australia - caught our eyes. In his article, he discusses whether PR is dead or not. Today, the PR toolkit is still relevant - and forever will be. Every organisation still needs the skills PR practitioners have, therefore PR remains alive. It’s no secret that effective PR can help manage the reputation of an organisation by communicating and building good relationships with all organisation stakeholders. This ensures that the organisation operates at optimum level. Anyhow, we’ll let you get to that. Have a read and let us know what you think in the comment section below. Public Relations and Managing Reputation Short-term pain for long-term gain The idea that public relations is dead is fundamentally absurd, but it makes for a catchy headline. And some circling vultures...

Blast from the Past - Client Close-Up: Plaza Phoenix (Cheras Sentral)

Image
When we took on Plaza Phoenix (now known as Cheras Sentral) as a client, we were challenged to step outside our comfort zone. As opposed to just announcing the rebrand and redevelopment to the community, we were with a few other PR issues to restart the project. But, the hurdle did not end there. What should we do when the developer was unable to bring a group of over 125 strata title owners in order to move forward? Internal communication. Previously, we wrote about the importance of internal communication (if you haven’t read about it, you can read it here ) and it became a vital component in our communication strategy. Considering it involved over 125 parties, it’s fair to say it took some time. But most importantly, we became the trusted go-between for the parties and were able to put across non-emotional information to all who were involved, in a straight forward manner. Besides undertaking the responsibilities of meeting all the individual strata owners, we became ...

From the Net - Content Land

Image
In a field where we are often on our feet trying to come up with a fresh and engaging content, be it for a Press Release, Social Media posting, or others, we sometimes come to a halt simply because we can’t get passed what’s missing or what should be part of the content that makes it ‘click’ with readers. Thanks to PR Newswire , they’ve come up with an easy reference to ensure we’ve got most of our bases covered, if not all. Check out the info graphic they’ve come up with:

From the Net - Top 12 Movies / TV Shows for Every PR Pro’s Collection

Image
While the title may suggest that this post mainly for every PR professional, I think it will sit very well with those who want to venture into the field of Public Relations as well. When we came across the list on Adweek, we couldn’t help but discuss amongst ourselves some of the movies we’ve actually watched from the list. Surprisingly, most of us have watched at least half of them (and we are convinced to watch Sweet Smell of Success after reading about it – “Movie Night” at Orchan soon!). Now, grab that glass of wine (or beverage of your choice) and some popcorn. It’s time to unwind while picking up a thing or two about the field of Public Relations. Let us know if you agree or disagree with the way the industry of motion pictures depict / portray it. But first, here’s Adweek’s list and what they had to say: Since people have been making movies and reporting the news, there have been other people who have shilling for those movies to get in the news. What they have be...

Blast from the Past - Client Close-Up: Axle Motorsports

Image
It is not every day that a boutique PR agency gets to go on the race track and experience the adrenaline that comes from roaring engines, while playing a proud sponsor for a motor-racing team. Axle Motorsports, established by Malaysia’s first F1 driver, Alex Yoong, aspires to be the region’s leading motorsports business. Orchan organised a press conference for Axle Motorsports prior to race day to introduce ‘Team Axel’ to motoring media, as well as to show off the ‘Girl Power’ driving team that will be competing at Sepang International Circuit 1000KM Endurance Race 2010. Before you think an endurance race is merely about driving around the circuit one round after another, and it isn’t that much of a challenge – let us assure you, that isn’t the case; especially not in the Malaysian heat! As local lass Phillipa ‘Pippa’ Yoong, and former Japanese model Hiroko Nakamura don the Axle uniforms and go head-to-head with other drivers, they are facing a test of stamina and perfor...
