Honesty in PR
Honesty is one of the keys to an effective long-term public relations campaign. By that, I mean that your organization’s message must be an accurate reflection of your organization’s character and performance.
Simply put, building credibility is one of the goals of every public relations program, and credibility is rooted in trust. Once you break that trust, it is difficult to regain.
For example, you would be ill-advised to market yourself as being an expert in a particular field unless you really are an expert in that field. If you falsely hold yourself out as an expert on a particular topic, you will be labeled as dishonest and disingenuous once your cover is blown. That kind of negative reputation is difficult to overcome.

I love this ad. It speaks volumes without saying a word.
