Businesses gain enormously from retaining an effective public relations firm. At Las Vegas Media, we pride ourselves on offering premier public relations for all scopes of business, both large and small. The major difference between advertising and public relations is that public relations firms promote businesses through media exposure and connection with the public through means outside paid advertising. Consumers understand paid advertising is slanted toward the business paying for the ad space in any medium. Effective public relations promotes your brand through means such as articles in print and online as well as unpaid television coverage through news outlets. This exposure is priceless in that it is a more trusted avenue than paid advertising.

The Public Relations Society of America defines the benefits of public relations as:

*Anticipating, analyzing and interpreting public opinion, attitudes and issues that might impact, for good or ill, the operations and plans of an organization

*Counseling management at all levels in the organization with regard to policy decisions, courses of action and communication, taking into account their public ramifications and the organization’s social or citizenship responsibilities

*Researching, conducting and evaluating, on a continuing basis, programs of action and communication to achieve the informed public understanding necessary to the success of an organization’s aims. These may include marketing, financial, fund-raising and employee community or government relations

*Planning and implementing the organization’s efforts to influence or change public policy. Managing the resources needed when setting objectives, planning, budgeting and recruiting and training staff
