Public Relations is all about managing the clients’ image and positioning them in a slot that is suitable to the product /service they offer. In short, it is all about dominating the market through appropriate branding and packaging. It involves creating impressive content in headlines, stories and articles that are part of the selling strategy as also identifying opportunities for co-branding and liaising with the media and the Government. Of course, this list is not exhaustive. What is significant is that the whole exercise is done with feet on the ground and head held high. PR should be rooted in a strong culture of ethics and integrity and that’s where K2 Communications comes from.

This Bangalore-based agency follows the dictum advocated by Stuart Ewen (expert on media and consumer culture) that PR is a "history of a battle for what reality is and how people will see and understand reality". In its fifteen years of intensive industry experience, K2 has learnt the science of understanding and analyzing situations and mastered the art of presentation and expression,
by creatively aligning clients’ needs and strategically positioning the brands for media and the public to relate to.
