Corporate Communications
A 21st Century Primer
- Joseph Fernandez - author and communications leader
Public Relations
Among the topics discussed are:
- The evolution and nature of the new era and its unique communication needs.
- The role of advertising and public relations as potent tools to build corporate brands and nurture them in global environments.
- The advantages of the complementary use of traditional and new media in reaching the entire targeted audience.
- The importance of subscribing to healthy corporate citizenship practices for both businesses and non-profit outfits.
For a book written for a tribe that thrives on jargon, this one is remarkably free of that commodity. Simple, lucid and rich with personal insights, Corporate Communications should appeal as much to the `been there done that` professional as to the newcomer who has just entered the field. While there are indepth studies of brand evolution and media strategy, there are also lucid chapters devoted to the different types of media; there`s even a section that explains the difference between screen and offset printing. Even better for the neophyte, there are practical exercises at the end of each chapter, making this an ideal textbook for any academic course in corporate communications.
Centered around contemporary communication theory and illustrated through numerous examples and case studies, this primer will serve as a text for a wide range of courses including corporate communications, advertising, public relations, customer relationship management, consumer marketing and marketing strategy.
This Primer is worth its value in understanding not only about corporate communication but inter-linked aspectslike advertising, PR, customer relations and marketing.
