NGOs need tocommunicate and tell a story
Today, visibility is a premium commodity. If you have a strong story to tell, you
can grab the headlines! Having a unique brand story, helps you build brand
awareness and position strongly in the market. Brand awareness is a measure of
how well your target audience knows your brand. NGOs, like other organizations,
try to raise visibility for their groups. So, like other organizations, they should
work with communications programs to ensure their message reaches the masses.
Like profit-focused organizations, NGOs face many challenges and opportunities
– including competing for a share of voice in the media-clutter. They do have one
significant advantage over corporate peers: their perceived inherent credibility,
not tainted by the profit motive. Interestingly, the mission may be noble, but if an
organization is not telling its story consistently and strategically, it is bound to fail!

Public Relation inPolitics
Since the mid-90's the dominance of mass communications has been challenged by three
interrelated developments
Firstly, the introduction of the permanent campaign which has blurred the difference between
campaigning and governing so that politicians seek to dominate the agenda every single day.
Secondly, there has been an increased professionalization of communication with public
relations and marketing professionals transferring their skills to the political arena.
Thirdly, the growing importance of new communications technology, namely new media,
especially the internet, has encouraged political actors to use a much wider range of PR tools.
Under such developments, political communicators do not rely on one dominant channel to reach
their target audiences.

the Web in 2008, bringing political campaigns kicking and screaming into the 21st
century. Obama went beyond the static web pages of most past campaigns, by
tapping the power of web 2.0 tools including Facebook, YouTube, Blogs and
discussion boards, to create an engaged conversation with potential voters. The
same has been done lately by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

comparison to other parties in society. This involves attracting attention and interest
