Social marketing is the campaign or program planning that is aimed to bring about social changes through commercial marketing. Social marketing is aimed at getting its target group to accept or deny certain behaviors.

Some common examples we see today are advertisements encouraging parents to talk to their children about drug use before the child is tempted to try drugs. These advertisements are generally targeted towards the parents rather than the children. For example the advertisers will first show a parent who is concerned about their child or children getting into drugs. The advertisement will then show a nervous parent approaching the child and then speaking to the child about drugs. The ending meaning of the advertisement is that no matter how nervous a parent may be, talking to their children is going to be worth it in the end. This advertisement is obviously aimed at getting parents to talk to their children and hopefully dramatically reduce the amount of drugs being used by teens - thus it is a behavior change the social marketing is trying to change.

In the example of drug use advertisers have also taken a different approach by simply showing through advertisements the negatives that can come by a parent not talking to their child. The advertisement will take a different route, rather than showing a parent who is making the effort to talk to their child the advertisement will show a parent who knows, and is possibly even joining in on, the child's drug use. In this way the advertisers are targeting a different group, a group who may not be affected by the parent struggling to talk to their children, but rather showing openly what a parent is doing to it's child by not talking at all. Though the two advertisements are very different, the goal is the same - to change the behavior in parents so as to produce the outcome of talking to their children about drugs. This is a very popular and widely spread social marketing campaign.

Public relations is quickly becoming an essential part of marketing for business, organizations, and groups running any sort of campaigns.

Public relations firms work for the non-paid organizations running campaigns against drugs, smoking, and abuse. They also work for the paid organization, such as hospitals, and other medical clinics, who are running campaigns for health and better living. Public relations firms are also quickly becoming a necessity to business and large corporations.

The corporate world is quickly finding out that a good press release can do more for their business that a thousand advertisements. The reason for this being that the public in general no longer takes the word of the company as the most reliable. Where as in the past maybe the public believed in a product because of the company that released it, or in a company because of the quality of products they released, the public is beginning to believe more and more that all of these large companies are simply out to make the biggest pay check. To make the biggest pay check their products would have to be the cheapest, the fastest produced, and marked up the most. This is why it is hard for the public to believe in advertising any more.

The corporate world understands the view of the public (in some ways being just as much a part of the public themselves) and is striving to rectify the situation through finding outside sources to try and believe in their product or company.
