Why settle for bigger, cheaper or louder when you can have better?

We’ve done all the hard work creating this PR starter kit to help you choose the right PR agency

SO YOU’RE thinking about using the services of a public relations agency for your business – but you don’t know where to start, right?

The first piece of advice we’d offer any business investigating public relations is that it’s worth putting in a LOT of research.

We know how difficult and time-consuming that can be, so we’ve prepared this essential business PR starter pack to save you time, effort and money.

Stumbling blindly into the arms of a PR agency simply because they are the biggest, the cheapest or the loudest might work out.

But the chances are it’s more likely to prove a disappointing let down. The simple fact is that bigger, cheaper or louder doesn’t mean better.

There are other factors to consider. For example, how far and fast would you run if you were in the dentist’s chair and the man in the white coat gave you a smile meant to be reassuring – only to reveal a set of badly decayed, tombstone teeth?

Would you trust the advice from a dietician who was clinically obese? Or have your car serviced by a mechanic who’d been prosecuted recently for driving a death trap banger without an MOT?

So you may want to make sure that a PR agency practices what it preaches.
