Are there any kind of ancient "manifestations" of PR (Public Relations) in the Bible?

Question

I am looking for marketing, advertising, and especially PR sentences, extracts in the Bible! if there is any, can you tell me where to find them?

Answer 1

There are many - word of mouth is a great portion of PR. Along with dealing with people in general. A few that come to mind:

Noah - his ark was like a billboard. He tried to get others to get on the boat. Genesis 6

The Ten commandments - God's PR in telling the people how they should live brought out by Moses who had PR work with the Pharoah/ Egyptians and the Israelites First part of Exodus

Solomon: The Queen of Sheba comes and tells him the wisdom she heard about him wasn't even close to the reality and that his kingdom was even more magnificent 1 Kings 10:1-13

Gideon: overheard two enemy soldiers discussing how a loaf of bread (symbolized Gideon) knocked over their tent Judges 7:13

David: anytime he spoke to the people/ dealt with his duties. Start with 1 Samuel - pay attention to Goliath, Abigail, Bathsheeba, dealing with Saul, right after he was fired by the Phillistines, picking Solomon, and how he dealt with his enemies

Absalom: He stands at the gate of the city promoing himself to the people and stating that he should oversee their situation before they go in to see his dad, King David with their issues. He even hired a chariot and people to run in front of him 2 Samuel 15

Jesus - just read the New Testament. Anytime he healed or spoke to the public, that is extreme PR (same thing applies to John the Baptist and the disciples). Feeding he multitudes, on the cross, when in the synagoges, on the Sabbath, healing, preaching, dealing with the Jewish officials, etc.

Pilate - he presented Jesus or Barabas to the people. He washed his hands of what the Jews wished to do to Jesus becuase he saw no fault or blame on him. Matthew 27
