All of the drama, but none of it IN the cinema

Tonight, instead of slipping into a comfy chair at the cinema, I took one of the most beloved cards out of my purse and bid farewell to Cineworld. I was a loyal follower for 11 incredible years, filled with highs (great movies) and lows (bad service and lack of proper training).

The news earlier this week was sad, but not completely unexpected. What has proven shocking – and one of the key reasons why I’ve cut up my card and cancelled the membership – is the alleged treatment of its employees. It’s been widely reported that a number of staff found out about the indefinite closure through social media.

These are extremely trying times for a number of businesses, who have lost their incomes due to government guidelines, but I do find it astounding that Cineworld hasn’t done more to set the record straight.

I still don’t know if it’s true, because I couldn’t find any statements to refute the claims. No updates to earlier reported stories with the company’s position.

Earlier this year a global report claimed that executives believed, on average, that 63% of their company’s market value could be directly attributed to their company’s overall reputation.

During the pandemic, this has become even more critical and if the allegations prove correct, I believe there are a number of people who will follow suit and abandon their relationship with Cineworld.

Businesses simply can’t afford to put their reputation at risk during this pandemic.

In today's competitive business landscape, Public Relations (PR) plays a pivotal role in establishing a strong brand presence and fostering business success. Here we delve into the world of PR, shedding light on all of its guises and how, if executed well, it can have a positive impact on businesses and brands. So first up, let’s begin with the question you might often get asked by your family and friends….what is Public Relations?

Section 1: What is Public Relations?

Public Relations, often abbreviated as PR, is a strategic communication process that businesses and organisations use to build mutually beneficial relationships with their target audience. It is all about managing and shaping perceptions to maintain a positive image and reputation in the eyes of the public. PR encompasses a wide array of activities and techniques, including media outreach, content creation, and event planning.

One crucial aspect of PR is Media Relations. PR professionals work closely with journalists and media outlets to secure positive coverage for their clients. This coverage can range from news articles and interviews to press releases and features. Effective media relations can greatly enhance a company's visibility and credibility.

 

Section 2: The Different Types of PR

PR is a multifaceted discipline, and there are various types of PR activities that businesses can engage in to achieve their goals. Here are some key types:

  1. Influencer Engagement: In the age of social media, influencers hold significant sway over their followers. PR agencies often collaborate with influencers to promote products or services, leveraging their reach and credibility to connect with a broader audience.
  2. Brand Building: Building and maintaining a strong brand image is at the core of PR. A well-crafted brand identity fosters trust and loyalty among consumers, making it a critical component of any PR strategy.
  3. Social Media Public Relations: With the rise of social media platforms, businesses must actively manage their online presence. Social media PR involves creating engaging content, responding to comments, and managing crises that may arise in the digital realm.

Section 3: The Importance of a Strong Brand

A strong brand is the cornerstone of any successful business. Here's why brand building is vital in PR:

Positive PR: A well-established brand tends to receive more positive PR. Consumers trust and prefer brands they recognize and feel a connection with, making them more likely to engage with and purchase from that brand.

Negative PR: Conversely, a strong brand can better weather negative PR incidents. By having a solid reputation, businesses can recover more swiftly from setbacks and mitigate potential damage.
