(UNESCO 2010) As such, globalisation has brought forth benefits, such as the interconnectedness of the world, allowing communication across different regions of the world.

This has allowed for great convenience and ease of learning as there no longer seems to be limits hindering the travel of knowledge across the horizons. (Globalization …show more content…
Similarly, the members of public could also give their valuable feedback almost immediately on these platforms, unlike in the past whereby there were only limited tools to do so. As a result of the influence of globalisation, people nowadays are more proactive and more demanding. The expectations on public relations practitioners are higher as compared to the days before social media platforms were established.

Branding is important because it creates a trust based relationship with the « average » viewer.

3. Globalization Throughout the last decades, globalization became a real phenomenon, but history tells us that it is actually not a new social, historical phenomena, but has, under different names and manifestations, been with us for a long time.

Public relations is no different as professionals constantly seek to communicate with and hear from customers, who are ever-present and active on social media.
