Public Relations

Public Relations (noun; abbreviation PR)

the business of communicating a clear, informative message about a specific product, company or individual to the public in order to create awareness and build brand identity. Public relations is a job that requires creativity, expertise, forward thinking and most of all, unrivaled skill in the construction of a good pun.*

* Definition by Judy Hopkins. She never stops talking, so this is the shortened version.

Not meaning to boast, but…

Whether you’re overseeing a multinational company or involved in every aspect of a small family run firm, our goal remains the same; to get to know you and your business, so that we can form strategic, innovative and cost-effective public relations campaigns that exceed your expectations. We get a kick out of that kind of thing.

IMAGINATIVE

That’s what he said!

Hopkins Communications carried out the public relations and media relations functions for the Irish Examiner Cork City Marathon. I found the company to be very efficient, professional and committed. Judy and her staff delivered in full on the commitments set out in their submission for the assignment, were available as required and were helpful, courteous and efficient at all times.

The social media campaign run by Hopkins was constant, imaginative and very effective and credited with increasing entries in the face of stiff competition from many other Marathons and events. In terms of PR, apart from issuing well-written and interesting press releases, they sought out participants and stories which got widespread publicity. They also arranged press and radio interviews with an extensive list of outlets, again very professionally and effectively. I can recommend Hopkins Communications for any PR and media assignments involving public participation and engagement.
