What is your typical onboarding and kickoff timeline?
Our onboarding and kickoff process is designed for efficiency and thoroughness.

This is followed by the development of a tailored PR strategy and media outreach plan. If an announcement is planned, we initiate planning and execution simultaneously.

Each client is assigned a dedicated team comprising senior PR professionals with extensive experience in your industry. This typically includes an account lead, supported by an account manager and associate, ensuring diverse expertise and consistent execution. Our team members bring a wealth of knowledge, strategic acumen, and strong media relationships to every engagement.
What tangible results and ROI can I expect, and how do you measure success?
We believe in demonstrating tangible results and a clear return on your investment. We measure PR success through a combination of metrics, including media placements in targeted outlets, message pull-through, share of voice, website traffic driven by media mentions, thought leadership positioning, and, where applicable, impact on sales leads or investor interest.
We provide regular, comprehensive reports detailing our progress and the impact of our efforts. For many of our clients, the real ROI shows up in closed deals, investor interest, or brand reputation uplift. We track what matters most to your business, not just the coverage count.
