- 'Organisation' can be a government body, a business, a profession, a public service or a body concerned with health, culture, education - indeed any corporate or voluntary body large or small. 'Publics' are audiences that are important to the organisation. They include customers - existing and potential; employees and management; investors; media; government; suppliers; opinion-formers.'Understanding' is a two-way process. To be effective, an organisation needs to listen to the opinions of those with whom it deals and not solely provide information. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

- FREDDIE STARR STORY Clifford made his name in the UK for his role with client Freddie Starr in one of the most famous British tabloid newspaper headlines of all time. On 13 March 1986 The Sun carried as its main headline: FREDDIE STARR ATE MY HAMSTER. According to the story, Starr had been staying at the home of Vince McCaffrey and his 23-year old girlfriend Lea La Salle in Birchwood, Cheshire when the incident took place. Starr was claimed to allegedly returned home from a performance at a Manchester nightclub in the small hours of the morning and demanded that Lea La Salle make him a sandwich. When she refused, he went into the kitchen and put her pet hamster Supersonic between two slices of bread and proceeded to eat it. This, in more recent times, has been rebutted by Starr, who however in interviews has admitted to the fact that it was very much a much-needed publicity coup, if not factually correct. OJ SIMPSON Orenthal James Simpson (born July 9, 1947, San Francisco, California), publicly known by his initials as O. J., and nicknamed The Juice, is a former college and professional football player and film actor. Although considered one of the greatest running backs of all time, Simpson is most recognizable for being charged with the murder of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994. He was acquitted in criminal court in 1995 after a lengthy, highly publicized trial (often called the "Trial of the Century"). Later, in 1997, Simpson was found liable for their deaths in civil court.

- Advertising involves paying a medium (TV, radio, newspaper etc.) for airtime or column inches in which to put across a promotional message. 2007 survey by Weber, Shandwickshows brand advocacy (i.e. word of mouth about the power of the brand) 5x more effective than advertising
- THE PUBLICITY MODEL. Any publicity is good publicity. General principlesGenerate a stir and media interest1836 bought old negro slave woman named Joice Heth and exhibited her to the public as ‘George Washington’s childhood nursemaid’. She claimed to be 160 years old. He earned up to $1500 per week.When attention dies down, create a scandalWrote forged letters to editors of NY papers denouncing himself as a fraud and others saying what public service the display of Heth was. When Heth died an autopsy said she was 80: Barnum declared himself ‘deeply deeply shocked’ at the disception.Following Barnum a series of colourful, scheming, desperate men acting as press agents for clients. Called by writer Will Irwin ‘the only group of men proud of being called liars’ PUBLIC INFORMATION Ivy Lee formerly a reporter. Established agency to supply accurate news. Invited journalists to the scene of railway accident in 1906 on behalf of their client, the Pennsylvania Railroad company rather than try to cover up story.Approach was ‘set your house in order and then tell the public you have done so’. Hired as counsel to John D Rockefeller Jnr to massage ‘hard’ image because of ruthless monopolistic approach of Standard Oil. Alledgedly told him to carry a pocketful of dimes to give away to children whenever he could be seen (denied).Estimated 50% PR practitioners in UK operate ‘public info’ model TWO-WAY ASYMETRIC Power imbalanced because the intended change is to the audience’s attitudes or behaviour rather than the organisation’s practices Audience research essential: success depends on an understanding of the attitudes and behaviour of the target audience Edward Bernays was the nephew of Sigmund Freud. Involved in building support for WWI using the psychology of persuasive communication. Established first PR education course New York University 1922.Promoting Lucky Strike cigarettes with ‘Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweeet’: sales tripled in 12 months.Favourite approach to indirectly use ‘third party authorities’ to plead for his clients’ causes. E.g. to promote bacon sales for his client he conducted survey of physicians and reported their recommendations that people eat hearty breakfasts. Sent the results to 5,000 physicians along with publicity touting breakfast and eggs as hearty breakfast.
