Brand Inc distinguishes the blurred roles between a copywriter and a PR practitioner with three distinctions discerning the two professions. Rather than solely focus on content creation, PR agencies such as Brand Inc are talented with communication expertise to harness the finest PR campaigns.
A Public Relations (PR) role is never without good writing abilities. Despite the blurred roles between a copywriter and a PR practitioner, there is a fine line between the each of their work. We share with you the differences between the roles by comparing and contrasting.
Content Objective vs Communication Objective
The main contrast between a copywriter and a PR practitioner is that while copywriters focus on the objective of creating content that sells an idea, PR practitioners target the communication aspect of disseminating messages to shareholders. Copywriters review information that is being furnished and reveal the story behind it, as a reporter would from a third party’s point of view. However, a PR practitioner projects the company’s reputation through the collaterals released, be it a media press kit or a simple press release.
Research Content vs Research Industry
Though both roles require research for their writing, the type of research differs with PR and copywriting. The former involves researching the industry the PR firm is working with by conducting background research on their client’s brand and analysing competitors. Research enables better communication between PR, media and consumers throughout the PR campaign. Copywriters’ research is often limited to content topics to produce pieces of writing. They create and distribute valuable, relevant and consistent content to spur profitable consumer action which functions as a call to action for clients.
Develop Content Writing vs Develop Communication Strategies
Copywriters develop content writing by engaging in marketing content through their writing skills such as creating catchy headlines. Effective copywriting aims to create content that build brand identity, benefit readers and encourage the public to purchase the mentioned product or service. More than just creating content, PR looks at communication strategies on the whole and develop targeted messages for different platforms and tools to achieve communication objectives.
All in all, multiple distinctions can be drawn between copywriting and PR. More than just write, copywriters straddle the world of writing with the world of content marketing whereas PR practitioners build communication bridges.
