The 1990s will mark an era of intense competition, both domestically and globally; businesses must win a share of the consumer's mind and heart and build strong consumer awareness and preference. However, in today's ``overcommunicated'' society, mass and even target advertising lose some of their cost-effectiveness. That's where ``marketing public relations'' (MPR) comes in, making the most of the strength of news, events, community programs, and other powerful communication modalities. Covers this emerging trend in public relations, showing not only why MPR helped companies gain a competitive edge, but also how it is used by its most sophisticated practitioners to get maximum mileage from product introductions, special events marketing, brand name associations and company reputation, how to extend a product's life cycle, defend products at risk, and more. Features examples and actual cases illustrating the success of MPR.

This book is a complete update of an earlier volume that Harris wrote in 1993. The entire concept of The Marketer's Guide to Public Relations runs counter to the traditional concept of 'events-driven' public relations. This book challenges the reader to use public relations as a strategic tool, to achieve measurable and actionable marketing objectives. Not dissimilar to the concept of 'Integrated Marketing Communications', MPR seeks to read one's market, determine need, and build a marketing program (both communciation and marketing strategy) from the outside in: determine the way customers want to learn about your product and develop a strategy to create awareness, communcate the benefits, and instill a motivation to purchase.
