Compelling Campaigns If you are running for president, campaigning is a huge part of the process. Donald Trump spent a whopping 50 million dollars on his campaign, which contributed to his victory in the 2016 election. Campaigning allows you to get exposure sometimes good and sometimes bad.

‘Badly targeted mailings’, was chosen by 47% of respondents, followed by money being spent on marketing by charities. So, using cheaper outreach, other than television, and direct marketing, could renew the audience’s interest in charity marketing programmes. Direct marketing, a marketing method, costs very little compared to mass advertising (Hartnett & Keisler, 2006), which Save the Children currently use most. Direct marketing only involves physical materials such as catalogues, mailers and flyers, and not internet, television or radio advertisements. Direct marketing removes the ‘middle man’ from the marketing process, so Save the Children’s promotional message is handed directly to a potential
At the same time, the National Socialist German Workers' Party used a variety of campaign posters as a form of propaganda. Posters became an effective propaganda tool based on its low cost and fast production. The NSDAP was able to create thousands of posters at a fast rate and plaster them within Germany. Other propaganda tools such as newspapers, pamphlets, and leaflets took a vast amount of time in order to create. Early NSDAP posters include vibrant illustrations of illusive members and political figures including Adolf Hitler. An election poster from 1929 Saxon campaign reads: “Two million dead. Did they die in vain? Never! Front soldiers! Adolf Hitler is showing you the way!” The claim is that Hitler will redeem Germany from the loss of World War I. This poster depicts a mournful solider who appears to have lost all sense of hope. It also illustrates colorless colors to provide a sorrowful feeling. A second poster consists of the November 1932 election. The text: “Papen is crippling the economy! Away with him and his program for the ruling class! Come to Hitler!” Examples of these posters were used to stir the anger and hatred of the German people against the Weimar Republic in regards to its response towards World War 1.
Public Relations has acknowledged public involvement as the most essential factor of the practice since its creation. However, the means and methods of reaching the public remained significantly limited until recently. Over the last decade, public relations has welcomed the use of varied tools, including new media, to further their reach and cultivate relationships with its publics. The term “new media” encompasses a variety of non-traditional methods including social media. Social media has become a significant catalyst in the communication sector of public relations. The pairing of social media and public relations has helped create new opportunities for brands through two-way communication, social case study campaigns, and social sharing.
Public relations is everywhere today. It is a practice that has become an important aspect of any business venture. Whether an organization is not for profit, for profit, or governmental, they still need and desire to communicate their purpose within the community and public relations allows this to happen. There are several publics in which the PR practitioner must correspond with and each requires a different means of communication. Internal publics are inside the organizations such as clerks, managers, and stockholders. "External publics are those not directly connected to the organization: the press, government, educators, customers, suppliers, and the community" (Seitel, 2004). Each public plays a key role in the PR of the organization. The many functions of PR can also be categorized based on what purpose they serve the organization.
I believe Public Service Announcements (PSA) can not help reduce the number of distracted driving incidents. 82% of American teens ages 16 to 17 own a cell phone. 52% said they have talked on the phone while driving. 32% have texted behind the wheel. 80% of crashes are caused by people texting or calling on their phones. “It seems so common sense not to text while driving, but people are so connected to their electronic devices that they kind of forget themselves.” It takes less then three seconds of not paying attention to cause an accident and one second to stop it. No matter what Public Service Announcements say they can not stop stupidity, people will always do what they want and until they realize that themselves these incidents will never stop.
