Why You Should Hire a PR Firm

3 Reasons to Take Your Campaigns to the Next Level

If you’ve landed on this blog post, there’s a chance you are thinking it may be time to hire a PR firm. As you mull over your options, there are some key factors to consider. Is hiring an agency worth the money? What will the return on investment be like?

Those questions are valid, but I believe there are other equally important, yet simpler reasons to hire an agency. Though I could likely give you over 20 reasons to hire a PR firm, I think these three main ones will help you the most in making a final decision.

Here are three major reasons to hire a PR firm:

Reason 1: The Project is Too Big!

As you’re looking over your communications goals for the spring, you may realize that your projects are going to require more help than what your staff can provide. That is, if you have an internal marketing or PR team.

Sometimes, campaigns, projects, or general communications tactics require a helping hand. Take into account all of the content and design assets a business needs to succeed in today’s economy. To grow your brand and build a following, you need a logo, website, content for that website, social media channels, an email marketing strategy, and more. Building a robust communications strategy is no small matter.

Reason 2: Need for a Variety of Services

When you hire a PR firm, you gain access to a team of experienced, skilled professionals. Often, agencies are comprised of copywriters, designers, and communications strategists among other roles. Remember all those communications needs I mentioned? A modern agency can provide all of these under one roof. These people know what tactics work, and will not require a training period. Sure, the team will need to familiarize themselves with your business, but you do not have to train them for specific skills.

Reason 3: Desire for Flexibility

PR firms offer a great deal of flexibility that can benefit the client. This includes everything from customer service to meeting availability and pricing options. Don’t need someone to dedicate 40 hours per week to marketing your brand? Hire a PR firm to spend the required time. Of course, if you need more attention at specific times of the month or year, that can always be arranged.

Put simply, a PR firm worth your money is flexible and goes out of its way to best accommodate your needs as a client. Though the account managers may have other clients, when they are doing your work, they give you their undivided attention and dedication.
