Traditionally, the differences between PR and marketing were always clear. While PR leaned more towards brand-building and driving awareness, the latter was more focused on advertising and generating revenue. But since the rise of social media, the lines between them are blurry. Influencers can now help brands get more visibility, reach, engagement, and revenue.
