The Marketing Triangle consists of advertising (the stuff that you have to pay for-- TV commercials, print ads, billboards, etc.); publicity (free media coverage); and P.R. (personal relationships). An easy way to remember it is this is, "With advertising you PAY, with publicity you PRAY (that it will be covered and accurate), and with P.R. you PLAY."
