We are happy to work with clients on either a retained consultancy or project-by-project basis.
First meetings are usually free of charge as they enable us and our potential client to assess the potential benefits of working together.
Our approach to working as retained consultants is:
- To seek to add value by offering sound strategic advice on PR activities that are likely to achieve the greatest return for your investment
- Supporting and enabling you to increase your own internal skill levels so that we increasingly are only needed for the things you really cannot do in-house
- Providing you with clear estimates before starting a piece of work highlighting the likely outcome and costs
- Advising you realistically about the likely success of ideas/initiatives so that you channel your resources where they will have greatest effect
- Keeping accurate time logs and invoicing honestly and openly based on the actual time taken to deliver a job
- Providing written Media Enquiry Reports after any reactive PR activity
- Being responsive, helpful and flexible in providing unplanned assistance
- Maintaining professional levels of confidentiality and discretion at all times
- Treating your customers and partners with the same level of respect as we would our own
Above all, we believe our key strengths are:
- A wide range of experience across a range of sectors
- Good press contacts and a trusted reputation for our professional approach
- Equally strong on strategic thinking and hands-on delivery
- Experience of handling sensitive issues
- Creativity
- Integrity, commitment and discretion
- Being nice people to work with!
