Building Brand Through PR

Terri Hautman, manager of Image/Brand for Chrysler Corp. suggests these five rules for building brand through public relations:

  • Know what the product, and the campaign that surrounds it, stands for;
  • Target those buyers who have a passion for your product;
  • Understand how the industry that your product is a part of has evolved;
  • Integrate timeless qualities that have helped make the brand successful; and
  • Reduce cross considerations by targeting an exclusive market and audience.
