Introduction
Public relations campaigns are designed to achieve specific objectives by influencing
the attitudes and behaviours of target audiences. In the context of promoting children's
rights and welfare, effective public relations campaigns can play a crucial role in raising
awareness, stimulating action, and advocating for policy change. This assignment
explores two case studies: the UNICEF Media Alliance for Children campaign in Nigeria
and the National Nutrition Week campaign, "Veggie Heroes." Through these examples,
we will examine the strategic tactics and techniques used to promote children's rights
and healthy eating habits, and evaluate the impact of these campaigns.
1.
Building and maintaining relationships
Public relations involves communicating with internal and external publics to develop
and sustain positive relationships, fostering trust, and ensuring mutual understanding
between the organisation and its stakeholders.
Aligning organisational goals with societal expectations
Effective public relations creates consistency between organisational goals and societal
expectations, ensuring that the organisation's actions and messaging resonate with its
target audience and contribute to its overall success.
, Promoting exchange of influence and understanding
Public relations practitioners develop, execute, and evaluate organisational
programmes that facilitate a two-way flow of information and influence between the
organisation and its publics, enabling both parties to benefit from the interaction.
Stimulating stakeholder engagement and support
By effectively communicating with stakeholders, public relations practitioners can
stimulate interest, foster positive contributions, and encourage stakeholders to support
the organisation's objectives, ultimately driving its success.
