...interest and news items that do not require direct payment. The aim of public relations by a company often is to persuade the public, investors, partners, employees, and other stakeholders to maintain a certain point of view about it, its leadership, products, or of political decisions. Common activities include speaking at conferences, winning industry awards, working with the press, and employee communication. Public relations is thought by many to be propaganda by a different name, ironically, the very term "Public relations" could easily be seen as a public relations ploy to make the idea of propaganda more acceptable. Public Relations is similar to Analyst Relations, Investor Relations and Public Affairs depending on the firm, organization or population it represents. DEFINITIONS OF PUBLIC RELATIONS “Public Relations is the deliberate, planned and sustained effort to establish and maintain mutual understanding between on organization and its publics.” - Institute of Public Relations, USA “Public relations is the attempt by information persuasion and adjustment to engineer public support for an activity, cause, movement or institution.” - Edward L.

...Cadbury’s best-selling chocolate, and in the mid-twenties it became a brand leader. Cadbury India began its operations in 1948 by importing chocolates and then repacking them before distribution in the Indian market. With its deliciously smooth texture and unique creamy taste, Cadbury Dairy Milk made an immediate on the consumers and quickly became a market leader. Cadbury’s mission is “Working together to create brands people love”. Cadbury Dairy Milk encapsulates an enormous breadth of emotions, from shared values such as family togetherness to the personal values of individual enjoyment. It stands for goodness. At the point of entering the Indian market in 1948, Cadbury faced quite a few challenges. It had to get to people accustomed to chocolates, primarily seen as a western taste. Cadbury had to sell these products by reaching out to the masses in a country with a lot of diversity and varied interests. However the company recognised the importance of the chocolate brand as a means of expressing parental affection for their children. In the 1980’s the company positioned Cadbury Dairy milk as “The perfect expression of parental love”. Cadbury markets Cadbury chocolates a number of chocolates: 5-Star, Perk, Temptations (with five variations), Crackle, Fruit and Nut, Dairy Milk Eclairs (toffee), Womie, Gems, etc.” Packaging Design Cadbury had always focussed on the taste of its chocolate to be its USP, and hence the advertisement of the chocolate had a picture of milk pouring...

...There’s no metaphysics on earth like chocolates’. When the Portuguese bard, Fernando Pessoa, uttered these words, sometime during the early 20th century, the Cadburys and Nestles of the world hadn’t even seen the dawn of the day in India! But, of late, these two major choco giants have been making Pessoa’s words felt in India. So, where Pessoa’s claim was restricted only to poetry or prose at the most, Cadbury and Nestle have proved in practical that chocolates are the most inevitable indulgence of all times. In the realm of advertising, the business of chocolate marketing stands at a figure of Rs.145 crore. And with that kind of money, the space becomes all the more interesting to watch out for, more so for the marketers. If we continue to let the numbers do the talking for sometime, we will get to know some dark chocolaty facts, like, Cadbury leads the Indian Chocolate market with a 70% share of the choco-pie, while Nestle occupies only 25% of the choco chunk. Interestingly, even with less than half of the former’s share, Nestle appears as the second leader in the entire arena and hence becomes the second pivotal player in the market. But that’s not the reason why they become this issue’s anointed marketers at war. In fact they have attained the status for being aggressive marketers of their respective chocolate variants for a consistently long duration without fail. An attack from one side has rarely gone unnoticed and not being retaliated with utmost valour from the counterpart...
