What is PR and what does it do?

PR (public relations) is the communications discipline that builds trust and reputation by managing an organization’s relationships with the media, the public and its stakeholders in a planned way. Unlike advertising, its visibility is earned through news value rather than bought, so its impact is slower but longer-lasting.

In the glossary: PR

What is the difference between PR and advertising?

Advertising is paid communication in which space and time are bought; PR delivers earned visibility by creating news value. Advertising accelerates reach, while PR builds credibility through third-party endorsement. The two are not rivals but complementary arms connected to the same message architecture.

Are public relations and PR the same thing?

Yes. Public relations and PR are the same discipline: PR is simply the abbreviation of the English term “public relations.” In Turkey, the industry uses the Turkish term “halkla ilişkiler” and PR interchangeably.

What is digital PR, and how is it different from traditional PR?

Digital PR is the branch of PR that builds a brand’s visibility through digital publications, search results, content creators and social platforms. While traditional PR focuses on print and broadcast media, digital PR generates measurable links, search volume and engagement. Today, the two are run within a single plan.

What does reputation management mean?

Reputation management is the systematic monitoring and strengthening of how an organization is perceived, and the protection of that perception in moments of risk. Media monitoring, social listening, message discipline and crisis preparedness are its core components.

What is a PR agency?

A PR agency is a specialist firm that manages a brand’s media, public and stakeholder communications through strategy, content and on-the-ground execution. It provides, from the outside, a media network, content production capacity and crisis experience too broad to build in-house with a single communications manager.

What does a PR agency do?

A PR agency builds communications strategy and message architecture, manages media relations, produces press releases and content, prepares spokespeople, designs events and launches, manages crisis communications, and measures and reports on reputation. In short, it turns a brand’s story into news value and delivers it to the right audience.

What should I look for when choosing a PR agency in Istanbul?

Look at three things: sector experience (are their clients similar to you?), team access (who will run your account, and how senior are they?) and measurement discipline (which KPIs do they report on, and how often?). Awards signal competence but are not enough on their own; the real question is how much time the team will actually spend on your business.

What services does Brandworks offer?

PR communications consultancy, media relations management, event management, crisis communications, internal communications, corporate publishing, leadership and spokesperson communications, and awards communications. Our focus areas are B2B communications, sustainability and social responsibility projects.

Couldn’t we build our own in-house team instead of hiring a PR agency?

You could, but the two models serve different purposes. An in-house team brings institutional knowledge and speed; an agency brings a media network, an outside perspective, crisis experience and flexible capacity. For most brands, the most effective model is the two working together.

Does a PR agency make sense for SMEs?

Yes. For small and mid-sized brands, PR is the most efficient way to build credibility without competing on advertising budgets. You start with a narrower scope and a single focus (such as trade media or employer branding), then expand as results come in.

What does it mean for a PR agency to be award-winning?

An award means the work has been reviewed and validated by an independent jury. Programs such as Brandverse Awards, PR Felis and Yıldız İş Dünyası Ödülleri evaluate strategy, execution and results together, so an award is a sign of process discipline.

How does the PR process work?

The process has four steps: analysis (current perception, competitor and media mapping), strategy (goals, message architecture, channel plan), execution (content, media relations, events) and measurement (monthly reporting and optimization). The output of each step is shared in writing.

What exactly does media relations management cover?

Media relations management is about matching the right story with the right journalist and outlet at the right time. It covers media mapping, preparing press releases and press materials, arranging interviews, spokesperson preparation, coverage tracking and coverage reporting.

Do press releases still work?

Yes, but only when it carries genuine news value. Today a press release doesn’t work on its own; it works as part of a package made up of data, visuals, a spokesperson quote and an angle tailored to each journalist. A release without news value won’t get published — and it wears down the relationship.

How quickly can crisis communications support be activated?

For brands that have prepared in advance, active response begins the same day; for our existing clients, within hours. If a risk map, a set of scenarios and a ready message framework are in place before the crisis, the first statement can go out within the first few hours.

How is PR designed for B2B brands?

In B2B communications, the target is not a broad audience but the decision-maker. That is why trade media, expert content, leadership visibility, and trade show and event communications take center stage. Success is measured not by reach but by quality visibility that reaches the right person in the right channel.

Is employer brand communications part of PR?

Yes. The employer brand is an organization’s reputation in the eyes of candidates and employees, and it cannot be separated from its external reputation. Internal communications, employee stories, career media and social platform content all connect to the same message architecture.

How is the cost of working with a PR agency determined?

Cost depends on three variables: scope (which services), target media scale (national, trade or international) and content volume. We analyze your needs and present a transparent proposal that clarifies scope and KPIs — no surprise line items.

Is there a minimum contract term?

Because PR’s impact is cumulative, meaningful results usually become visible over a three-month period. One-off work such as a launch, an event or crisis support can also be handled on a project basis.

How do we get started?

We clarify your needs in a short initial call. We then analyze your current situation and competitor visibility and prepare a proposal covering scope, timeline, team and KPIs. Once approved, the first month starts with message architecture and a media map.

Which sectors do you have experience in?

Industry and manufacturing, construction and real estate, trade shows and events, retail, food and gastronomy, technology, healthcare, energy, logistics, tourism, education, media, finance and civil society. We have worked with more than 100 brands.

When do PR results become visible?

The first media coverage usually arrives within the first month. Changes in perception and reputation indicators, however, show up over three to six months. That is why our reporting shows short-term outputs and long-term trends side by side.

How is PR success measured?

It is measured on three levels: media performance (volume of coverage, outlet quality, share of voice, tone), digital performance (search volume, referral links, site traffic) and perception and reputation impact (stakeholder feedback, brand health indicators). Reducing measurement to a single number is misleading.

How often do you report?

We share a regular report every month and add weekly summaries during campaign and launch periods. Reports include the coverage list, share of voice, tone analysis and recommendations for the next period.

Does PR contribute to SEO?

Yes, directly. Appearing in trusted publications generates both referral links and branded search volume, and both strengthen authority in search engines. In addition, content built with clear definitions and structured data is more likely to be cited as a source by AI answer engines.
