This research investigates the role of public relations in enhancing the marketing strategies of banking services in Enugu metropolis, particularly focusing on Zenith Bank PLC. The study reveals a significant gap between the bank’s public relations efforts and customer perceptions, highlighting the challenges in managing corporate image amidst rising customer complaints. Using a mixed-methods approach, primary data was collected through structured questionnaires targeting both bank staff and customers. The objectives included examining the integration of public relations policies in strategic decision-making, assessing the effectiveness of communication strategies regarding major policy issues, and evaluating the impact of public relations on the bank’s profitability and growth. Key findings indicate that while the bank’s corporate affairs department aims to foster positive public relations, a disconnect remains between management perspectives and customer satisfaction. Consequently, the study concludes that effective public relations practices are essential not only for improving customer relations but also for ensuring the long-term sustainability of banking services in a highly competitive market. This study contributes valuable insights for banking institutions striving to align their public relations strategies with their marketing objectives.
