Marketing managers and PR personals do not always talk the same language. Marketing managers are much more bottom - line oriented, whereas PR practitioners see their job as preparing and disseminating communications. But these differences are disappearing. Many companies are turning to Marketing Public Relations (MPR) to directly support corporate or product promotion and image making.
The old name for MPR was Publicity, which was seen as the task of securing editorial space – in print and broadcast media to promote or “hype” a product, service, idea, place, person or organization.

A consumer remembers and recalls those things most that have touched his heart and soul, be it in a positive manner or negative. This is because the impact created by these thoughts leaves a long lasting impression on his mind. Advertising surely is termed as a business carried so as to achieve better sales turnover. [...]
[...] Comparative advertising works best when it elicits cognitive and affective motivations simultaneously. Reminder Advertising is important with mature products. A related form of advertising is reinforcement advertising, which seeks to assure current purchases that they have made the right choice.
