Big black book
Some might say it takes a village to build brand success (or a good google search on a digital agency near me – a good PR agency needs their village to come in a form of great connections – a big (and updated) black book of connections. Relationships and connections with journalists, partners, agencies in other specialty fields, design firms, industry leaders and figureheads are key in driving brand success.
Performance & history
Do your research and ask the basic questions, where do they come from and what are their vision and growth plans? A good PR agency should eat their own cooking. How do they position their brand in the public eye? Do they have a presence? Who is the face of the company and what is their leadership style?
Choose an agency with a history of excellence not just in the work they deliver but in their internal culture and employee brand – so you understand how they work, think, collaborate and operate. Do they have a projected business growth plan? To grow, be amongst people who are driving towards growth as well.
Digital knowledge
