<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> The development of technology and IT tools have brought about an extraordinary acceleration of the public relations branch around the whole world.

Unilateral communication discussed in this article doesn’t assume a response from the recipient, apart from a possible decision to take action in form of purchase, or clicking.
