The primary advantage of a PR campaign and the related media relations is that the message reaches the target market. The media are beneficiaries of the campaign, so will be willing partners. This allows the message to be spread. Public relations is also highly effective in changing perceptions and the nature of the dialogue. If the campaign goes well, companies will see doing a European product launch in Rome as the norm, and Italian companies in particular will see the benefit of launching in Rome. Another advantage of a public relations campaign is that it is a relatively low cost means of disseminating the message. With the media doing the bulk of the work, supported mainly by online marketing and perhaps an advertisement campaign, the message can be spread globally at a relatively low cost compared with paying for either staff members or potential customers to travel to Rome.
One disadvantage is that it can be hard to measure the effectiveness of PR campaign. All three major measurement activities will need to be conducted in concert with one another in order to have a sense of whether or not the campaign has been successful. In addition to the measurement problem, using other actors (such as the media) to disseminate the message increases the risk that the message will reach the intended audience in diluted or altered form. If that occurs, the effectiveness of the message is likely to be reduced, since consistency and simplicity are two of the main hallmarks of an effect campaign.
Conclusions
Rome is pursuing a public relations/media relations campaign to increase the number of major product launches in the city. This strategy takes advantage of Rome's strength as a media center and the city's high level of recognition globally. The local media will benefit from an increase in events as well, so they make natural partners in the public relations campaign. The PR campaign will capitalize on Rome's name, but will reposition the city's brand to one as a good place to conduct product launches. The campaign will be focused on local and international media, in order to spread the message to the target market.
Another disadvantage of a media relations campaign is that the link between the marketing message and the purchase decision is often distant. The message relies on planting the seed that may evolve into a purchase decision rather than other methods that might rely more on direct selling. The direct selling role, however, is more for individual hotels and conference centers -- the role of the Convention and Visitor's Bureau

Ergo, the second segmentation criterion is that of professional or personal passion for technology. As Brad Miser (2003) points out, the iLife is designed for both semi-professionals as well as hobbyist. Therefore, the third segmentation criterion is given by the individuals who either work, or are
The efficiency gains from BPM and BPR must be oriented towards a specific strategic objective to be effective (Attaran, 2004). While processes are often continually monitored to see how they can be made more efficient to save on costs, it is has been shown that re-orienting processes to be more customer-centric can transform entire companies. The concept of a Demand-Driven Supply Network (DDSN) (O'Marah, 2004) specifically focuses on this level
A factor which might become a strategic resource is represented by the very location of the banner, that is the website. The best advantage that internet presents is its flexibility.
