Marketing...in a nutshell Involves bridging customers' needs and wants with your organizations' products and services. Involves : • Market research: getting to know your users• Promoting: raising the profile of a product or service
through a variety of strategies• Follow-up: Asking your users if they were satisfied with
the product or service

Promotion, Outreach, and Public Relations may overlap with Marketing....but there are differences.
Promotion is part of marketing. Promotion relates to raising the profile of a product or service.
Outreach is a way of making connections to an underserved population.
Public Relations involves communicating a favourable image of an organization to stakeholders to win approval or acceptance.
