3. What is pr?
Lee & Bernays (1900s)
“a management function, which tabulates public
attitudes, defines the policies, procedures and
interests of an organization… followed by executing
a program of action to earn public understanding
and acceptance.”
PRSA (2011 & 2012)
“Public relations is a strategic communication
process that builds mutually beneficial relationships
between organizations and their publics.”
4. web 2.0?!
“…is the business revolution in the
computer industry caused by the
move to the internet as platform, and
an attempt to understand the rules
for success on that new platform.
Chief among those rules is this: Build
applications that harness network
effects to get better the more people
use them. (This is what I've elsewhere
called "harnessing collective
intelligence.")” – O’Reilly

5. pr 2.0?!
“…is the realization that the Web
changed everything, inserting
people equally into the process of
traditional influence.” - Solis

6. marketing 3.0?!
“Value driven-marketing
where consumers play the
key role of creating the
value through co-creation of
product and service” - Kotler

7. the rules of PR
Companies communicate to journalists via press release
Companies have to have significant news before they can write a press release
You’re not supposed to send a release unless it includes quotes from third
parties, such as customers, analysts, and experts
PR and marketing are separate disciplines run by different people with separate
goals, strategies,, and measurement techniques

8. the rules of marketing
Marketing means advertising (and branding)
Advertising is one-way: company to consumer
Creativity is the most important component of advertising
Advertising and PR are separate disciplines run by different people
with separate goals, strategies, and measurement criteria

9. How did you get the ink?
Write a release Send to dozens of media
Wait
Wait
Media monitoring
Media monitoringYou get a phone call
Some quotes
It‟s published!
11. What do you think??
• Do you think it‟s the work of Jokowi-Ahok‟s
campaign team?
• The PR team?
• What do you think was the underlying
thought behind the video? Why did they
make the video?
• If you were a journalist, would you write
about this? Why?
13. How do you feel?
• When someone from the organization
replied?
• When there‟s a follow up after the reply?
• What do you do after that?
• How do you feel towards the brand after
that?
14. Before you buy your laptop...
• What do you do?
• Who do you ask?
• Where do you browse?
• Who do you trust?
15. Why advertising didn‟t work as
well
• Target audience is too broad
• Relies on interruptive messaging
• The hero is the brand
16. Why pr needs to change
• PR is very self-conceited
• The message is targeted for the media,
not the audience
• Relies heavily on the media, not the
audience
17. Yes, (trad) media are still
important...
• Who doesn‟t want to be covered by
Kompas?
• The Jakarta Globe / The Jakarta Post?
• Bisnis Indonesia?
• Femina?
• The Rolling Stone Indonesia?
• Indonesia Tatler?
• Aired in JakFM / Prambors?
18. Why do we need new rules?
Session 2: The Old vs. The New Rules of PR
19. Chris Anderson’s The Long
Tail
Snezana Swasti Brodjonegoro 2011. Intellectual property right is protected.
20. The long tail of marketing
“The theory of the Long Tail is that our culture and
economy is increasingly shifting away from a focus
on a relatively small number of “hits” (mainstream
products and markets) at the head of the demand
curve and toward a huge number of niches in the
tail. As the cost of production and distribution fall,
especially online, there is now less need to lump
products and consumers into one-size-fits-all
containers. In an era without the constraints of
physical shelf space and other bottlenecks of
distribution, narrowly targeted goods and services
can be as economically attractive as mainstream
fare.”
21. The success story of long tail
• iTunes
• Amazon
• eBay
• Pay per view TV
• Grameen bank
22. Convergence: marketing & PR
• In the web, online content in all of its forms
is causing convergence of marketing and
PR that doesn‟t really exist off-line.
• Content represents who you are.
• Content drives action.
• Great content brands an organization as a
trusted resource and calls people to
action.
23. Jim petersen, ceo, the concrete
network
“Every business has information that can
contribute to the education of the
marketplace. You need to ask yourself, „How
can I get that information out there?‟… Get
down to the essence of what your product
solves and write good stories about that and
publish them online.”
24. Dave meerman scott
“Instead of writing press releases only when
we have big news – releases that reach only
a handful of journalists – we should be
writing releases that highlight our expert
ideas and stories, and we should be
distributing them so that our buyers can find
them on the news search engines and
vertical content sites.”
26. • The media you produce is the place where
you talk
• But prior to that, you have a whole lot of
listening to do to know what to talk about
• To join the conversation
29. On pr 2.0
• Everyone is a publisher
• Once it‟s on the web, it‟s there forever
• Reporters and editors use the web to seek
out interesting stories, people and
companies. Will they find you?
• Companies are now communicating
directly with their customers
• Everybody loves to feel heard
34. People are smarter than they are
before.
PEOPLE TRUST PEOPLE – even
those they don’t know
People tend to tune out to advertising
in conventional media due to clutter or lack
of free time
PR is about reputation building &
management – and it is public
You can now communicate directly to your
consumers

35. thenewrulesof
marketing&pr
PR is for more than just mainstream media audience
People want participation, not propaganda
PR ≠ boss seeing your company on TV. PR = buyers seeing your
company on the web
PR is now P again, thanks to the internet

Notas do Editor
Before we talk about the course itself, let’s go back a little bit to the bigger question. What is PR?
O’Reilly – harnessing collective intelligence – making the content better as more people use it social network. Kalaunggakadaorangnya, what’s the use?
Solis - opportunity to not only reach our audiences through gatekeepers, but also use the online channels where they publish and share information to communicate directly and genuinely. Or, putting public to public relations again – di manapublikbenar-benarpunya “power” untukberopini
Co-creation product dan service inimiripdengan O’Reilly bilang “harnessing collective intelligence”. Padadasarnyasama, bahwa audience jadipunyaperanpentingdalammembentuksuatuprodukdanmenyuarakanpendapatnya. Jadi, before we move on to see the importance of communicating on social media, we will go back one step and review the rules of marketing and pr according to Dave Scott Meerman.
Scott receives hundreds of release each week because he wrote for huff post, eContent contributor, and a popular blog (webinknow.com). He never reads any of the release. Instead, he browse for content that interest him. How many PR people do you think approach him?
Is there anyone with marketing background or experience?From David Meerman Scott – tell me if you agree or disagree?
As well as before…
Before we talk about the course itself, let’s go back a little bit to the bigger question. What is PR?
Chris Anderson’s 2004 book: The Long Tail – Why The Future of Business is Selling Less of MoreThere are actually more people in the long tail – because it’s infinite. The internet is allowing more variations other than the main streams products. E.g. Amazon, iTunes.Knowing that, this is time for the new rules of marketing and pr
Main proposition of long tail is reaching more niche customers with the net, reaching those who were previously neglected by the big companies
Why do we talk about marketing, while this class is talking about PR media productions?
Do you think companies are doing it in a proportional way?
Before, it was law of the jungle
If you’re interesting, people will listen and flock around youIf you have something meaningful to say, they will too
Now it’s 3rd largest tweet generator (15%) after US (28%) and brazil (24%)Indonesian FB users: more than 39 mioMore than 5.3 mio blogs registered at salingsilangNext: let’s get to the definition of what social media is – to get us started on the same page
Socmed enables more intimate relationship with audience that leads to brand likeliness, loyalty, and ultimately – brand evangelistRemember – you have to have a good product in socmed – otherwise, no need to communicate in socmedEven (potential) customers/consumers who are not active in the twitter/facebook community, might still be influenced by peers who are. Another thing to also bear in mind about communicating via socmed is this…
