With rapid change in industrial paradigm in economic society based on knowledge, the importance of cultural industry is being raised. Cultural industry is an industry that creates high value products, and it is rapidly becoming one of the core strategic industries for the future with Korea’s competitive edge.
The development of cultural industry is closely related with national and regional economy. Many countries in the world are endeavoring their efforts in order to nurture cultural industry of their own. Since local self- government status was granted, many local governments in Korea have promoted their specialized cultural industry.
And among all industrial developments, local cultural industries have become an important means of active development of a local region, and actively promote it.
The author of this paper for master program focuses on Animation Festival which is being promoted by some local governments. In fact, animation industry is able to use one source multi use and and the ratio of 2nd authorship copy right is much higher than any other entertainment industry. So local governments actively sponsor and promote their Animation Festival with high value products to maximize the development of an animation industry.
Among other Animation Festivals in Korea the author of this paper choose two main Animation Festivals in Korea, Seoul International Cartoon & Animation Festival (SICAF) and Puchon International Student Animation Festival (PISAF).
The main difference between these two festivals is that SICAF is more geared to the international and the economical areas and focus on such foreign press PR, PR Ambassador, press conferences and various PR activities.
When applied Hutton’s PR model on ‘Interest’ scope, these two events of Public Relations they seem to emphasize the interests of both public and the organization simultaneously. Secondly, on the ‘Initiative’ scope, the characteristic of both SICAF and PISAF public relation practice they prepare strong PR practice well in advance to draw a large audience.
Thirdly, on an ‘Image’ scope, it is not easy to pick the right answer between the ‘Perception’ and the ‘Reality’ scope.
In spite of some of these problems, when applied Hutton’s PR model and theory of 3I (Interest, Initiative, Image), it is proven to be a useful tool to distinguish if it is done systematically done or what character it contains.
In a nutshell, Hutton’s PR model provides with a useful tool to analyze the Animation Festival Public Relations. We need to build up systematic PR programs based on precise social scientific analysis to answer against the issues in changing market places. The author of this paper applied the Hutton’s model as a social scientific method.
The importance of PR for the company and the organization increase today to maximize the exposure and the potential profits PR should base on precise social scientific model.
