Your company has established new goals and evaluated a new budget for the New Year, which has lead to the decision of investing in a public relations firm to bring the brand to a whole new level. So, how do you choose which one is right for your business?

Choosing Your PR Firm

While the process might seem easy, it actually requires a lot of time and research to find the right firm, for the right reasons, with goals in place to deliver a positive impact. In other words, finding the right PR firm for your business does not come easy and does not happen fast. Before making any final decisions, here are some factors to consider when choosing the ideal firm:

#PRGoals

Establishing firm and concrete goals will make weeding out the PR firms that are not right for you a breeze. When you know what you want for your company, aligning your goals with a firm’s services will become clear and take you to the next step.  As you look to hire a public relations firm, decide on what you are trying to achieve for your business – brand awareness, event management, press coverage, etc.

Chemistry is Not Just for Test Tubes

Do not ignore the fact that chemistry does not lie! Make sure you actually like the PR firm that you are seeking. Of course, it is important that they are qualified and they can be trusted do a great job, but it’s equally important that you like them and are on the same page. Think about the team in your company, and how important it is that everyone can work in harmony – you want to be excited to work with them every day even if they are not in your office.

Everyone is Invited to the Party!

While the public relations firm team you choose will work with more than just your account, you should never feel like they are working with anyone but you. The relationship you have with your agency should never feel like a one-sided party, but rather a potluck, one where everyone can bring something to the table. The connection should feel like an extension of your team and not an outside party. 

Be Excited!

When you share your excitement to hire on an agency and take your business to the next level, they will equally feel as excited to work with you! More importantly, an agency will know all the concrete steps they need to take to get started on your account, even with little to no knowledge of your brand! With that being said, it’s important to share your ideas and your company’s vision so they can tailor their public relations services to your business!
