Response to Ariana Barone


Would you agree that public affairs is the most important form of public relations?

I definitely think that public affairs is the most important part of public relations. Companies and businesses want to make a positive impact and have a positive image in their community around them. Public affairs is an important part of a companies overall plan and should be integrated within their goals. it is likely to gain a much higher degree of interaction within their target audience and past customers. Having someone specifically working on publicity marketing is great idea to carry out and you want people to remember you and your products for a good reason. it also helps with company insight, knowing what the general public thinks of your company you can make improvements based on what your consumers thinks. a strong public affairs program is going to pay out in the long run.

Gender specific products

a lot of new ad campaigns are promoting their products as either for males or females when really it doesn't matter which gender you are to purchase and use the product. Dr. Pepper and Miller Lite have been the main culprits and i think it is wrong to advertise a beverage for only one specific gender. i know their are certain tactics behind it like trying to sell diet soda to men but do they have to bring it so far where their ads basically shut down the product to the wrong gender. i have posted a couple videos for you guys to watch and see what you think

Do you think that it is right for companies to advertise certain products towards one gender only?
