Social Media and PR Are like Siblings, Here’s How Burj Al PR Tackles Both

Social media has taken the digital world by storm; it’s nearly impossible to get away from it. With a whopping 4.8 billion social media users worldwide, it’s no wonder that cultural shifts happen on these platforms. It even created new professions.

Businesses and brands can no longer ignore social media’s impact on consumer markets. With good publicity online, you could see a skyrocket in success. However, the opposite is also true. With bad publicity online, you could ruin your business.

That’s scary.

So, how do brands go about managing their social media presence and keeping a good reputation?

Enter, PR companies. They specialize in public relations – as the name implies – and might just be your saving grace. One such agency is Burj Al PR, founded by Heba, it is the first Emirati PR agency in Dubai.

They take on the task of PR with a slightly different lens than other companies take. Cultural understanding of Dubai and the UAE is at the heart of their operations, especially since Heba was raised there. So, if you’re looking to dive into the UAE’s expansive market, they’re a fantastic resource.

Hiring Burj Al PR means that they will do their best for you but you still need to make an informed decision. As with anything, to make an informed decision you must have a full understanding of the good and the bad.

Pros of Social Media:

Social media is a powerful tool for communication and brand building. Platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram allow businesses to reach new and returning customers, and promote news, deals, and services in real time. Bigger audiences could mean more revenue.

You can see analytics to track performance metrics, such as website traffic, social media engagement, and campaign effectiveness. These measurements help brands evaluate the success of postings and campaigns.

During crises for brands, constant updates on social media help maintain transparency. This allows audiences to be aware of developing situations and build trust.

Cons of Social Media:

Social media certainly has some harmful effects on users that cannot be denied. What you post and see on social media is carefully curated to present a certain story. While this is not inherently bad or wrong, it does call for users to be careful when comparing themselves to what they see posted online.

As a business owner or brand, trying to appease too broad of an audience can be very difficult, with the incredible variety of diverse backgrounds converging in one spot.

How Social Media Relates to PR:

Public relations at its core is about communication, just as social media is based on communication. In the modern world, they go hand-in-hand. The PR industry can no longer afford to ignore the power of social media.

PR and social media bridge cultural gaps and build relationships that last.

Burj Al PR offers much more than social media services. Reputation management, crisis management, press releases, media relations, speech writing, market research, and analytics and measurements are all part of their offerings.
