Marketing v PR
Does it matter? NO
Marketing usually more customer focused, portraying the organisation in positive light
PR has broader focus (including internal and external stakeholder) and aims to generate a (truthful) conversation about the company

Networking – 3 basic principles
1. Targeted – planned - continuous
2. Clear messages
3. Trust and integrity
![Page 18: Marketing and PR - An introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c35f01a28ab0235962137/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Targeted – Planned - Continuous
Create networking opportunities:◦ Manchester Chamber of Commerce
◦ Pro Manchester
◦ Manchester Science Park
◦ Conferences, Events, Seminars, Speaking Opportunities
◦ … but be prepared when spontaneous opportunities arise
Make the event relevant for yourself and other attendees
Know what you want from every event (e.g. speak to a particular contact, speak to three people,…) and be prepared!
![Page 19: Marketing and PR - An introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c35f01a28ab0235962137/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Clear Messages
Prepare an elevator pitch/ speech:
◦ Different ones for different situations
◦ Make clear what the benefits for others are
◦ Write it down!
◦ What are you doing? What business are you
in?
Be different and be positive
Be confident and be a person!
![Page 20: Marketing and PR - An introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c35f01a28ab0235962137/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Trust and Integrity
It is not a sales pitch
Be interested (much more important than being interesting)
Be helpful:
◦ Ask facilitating questions to fully understand how you could help others
Follow up! And do as you promised, no matter how small!
![Page 21: Marketing and PR - An introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c35f01a28ab0235962137/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Networking Basics
Being interested is more important than being
interesting.
What goes around, comes around!
Always carry a pen, diary and business cards (but resist
the temptation to give everyone you meet a business
card!)
Be friendly, enthusiastic and helpful.
![Page 22: Marketing and PR - An introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c35f01a28ab0235962137/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Practical Stuff
99% of people are worried about walking into a room full of strangers
People at networking events generally want to network – so what have you got to loose
People in a room generally stand in certain formations
Be prepared about the event (where, when, who’ll be there, dress code…)
![Page 23: Marketing and PR - An introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042704/568c35f01a28ab0235962137/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
