Focused Image is Here to Help With Government Public Relations
Before we can dive into what government public relations is, we need to first define what public relations is. At its very core, public relations is about engaging, influencing, and building relationships with stakeholders across various platforms in order to shape the public’s perception of your organization. It is a form of strategic communication that works to build relationships that are mutually beneficial for both your organization and the public.
Because of this, public relations is the backbone of each and every successful marketing and communication campaign. And the exact same can be said in regards to government public relations. At Focused Image, we create and implement programs to reach your target audience with clear messaging throughout various platforms.
Government Public Relations
The government is actually one of the first organizations to practice public relations. This is so that the government could maintain a positive relationship with the public. If you think about it, the government is constantly in the media and on social media making government public relations very important to maintain positive relationships.
