For the past several years, PR and Branding have evolved a lot and challenged its restrictions, from selling products in B2C Company to reaching out to end customers for the same. In the Internet era, where instead of reading newspapers, people prefer to visit the e-portals and read, there are plenty of sources available on the internet with influx of information. Hence, the question is: how relevant the communication is happening?

The audience or the reader that are getting your messages or info might be your existing customers or the people interested in knowing how the business is in your company. Therefore, the relevant part is the narrative that has to be exciting and crisp. Overall, the communication is about the brand and how it relates with the customers, especially how its products' case piece can be more helpful for the customer.

For example, we have products that allow you to have video calls and provide gaming opportunities. So, how do you reach out to your customers about these case pieces, and how do you brand your products pertaining to the present competitors in the market? The approach has become essential.

In the past two years, we have also witnessed a lot of companies coming up with new product lines. A brand needs a mark with unique narratives that it draws in media or any other platforms such as social media, digital media, and own websites or companies, which is very important. Here, RoI plays a crucial part in the process of branding. It analyzes the brand's relevance, as per time, track of received information in both manners positive or negative.

Evolution Of Approaches In The Market
For a company like TCL, branding has become very important. Globally, TCL is a reputed firm, and it's been known in India for five years. The competitive brands have penetrated in the market initiated with phones and mobile phones and all those.

Currently, sentiments have become a significant part of branding, and the branding changes when it comes to product line. TCL doesn't merely speak about the products, but it has also spoken about the values that the brand stands for its mission and vision. As a repudiated brand, it believes in technologies and quality without burning holes in customers' pockets.

Mechanisms such as press releases, Influencer champing, YouTube reviews, social media champing, and community activities become keys for branding. Hence, those kinds of messages are significant when it comes to branding.

As per our research team, the annual earning of influencers has gone up by 25 % this year. People have become much more tech-savvy due to digital India champing that has been running for a few years now and also due to the pandemic.

Today in India, Live streaming is playing a vital role in flourishing e-commerce industry. Indeed, Influencer marketing and live streaming will both get a lot of importance in present as well as in upcoming days.

People do invest their time to watch many influencers’ videos when they come live and talk about products and everything. Therefore, Influencer marking may take over the traditional approaches of PR and branding. Additionally, micro-influencers will gain a lot more attractions compare to celebrities in tier 2 and tier 3 cities.

Path Breaking Innovations In The Communications And Branding Industry
As per my knowledge, Covid related CSR activities have become one of the most extensive initiatives for brandings. Generally, companies participate in CSR activities, so does TCL. Moreover, Covid related CSR activities did well in collaborating with celebrities, NGOs, and influencers.

I have noticed that Linkedin used to be less active before in terms of hosting events. But now, when it comes to reaching out to C-level people,Linkedin has become very active and essential.

Initially the corporate communication was more about PR people, but now it is also about shareholders of your company. At that time, corporate communication was reaching out to its target customers such as bureaucrats, government, regular customers to whom you are selling products, and industry leaders. Presently, corporate communication and customization of your messages are essential to sending out the right messages to the right people.
