🔥 Where Passion, Purpose and PR overlap
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to lose touch with someone you genuinely like?
Not because you fell out.
Not because they stopped mattering.
Life just got in the way.
You meant to call.
You meant to grab a coffee.
You meant to catch up.
Then six months vanished. 👀
Here is the thing.
The exact same thing happens in business.
People do not stop buying from you because they dislike you.
They do not stop referring you because you got worse at the job.
They just forget.
They are busy.
Distracted.
Overloaded.
Pulled in a hundred directions before lunch.
Which leads to one of the most important truths in business 👇
❌ If you are not being talked about, you are being forgotten
❌ If you are being forgotten, you are becoming irrelevant
That is why marketing is so much more than advertising.
The old mix was product, price, place and promotion. Modern business adds three more 👇
✅ People
✅ Positioning
✅ Public relations
Because being good is not enough.
People need to know you are good.
They need to see you.
Hear about you.
Be reminded you exist.
Which is why I was genuinely chuffed to be featured recently in the Peterborough United seasonal programme. ⚽
For me, that was never just publicity:
Peterborough is where my family has lived for five generations.
Where I built businesses.
Raised a family.
Backed charities.
Mentored founders.
Serve as a Deputy Lieutenant.
So seeing my mentoring work in print there was not good PR.
It was passion, purpose and positioning landing in the same place. 🎯
And that is where the strongest marketing always lives.
Not in clever slogans.
Not in expensive adverts.
In the real connection between people, place and purpose.
So here is your question for today 👇:
If someone in your town or your industry needed exactly what you do tomorrow, would your name come to mind?
Or have you been so busy doing the work that you forgot to remind people you are even there?
