How to pay less
- Choosing a short project for a single launch rather than a monthly retainer can cost less if you only need PR occasionally.
- Writing first drafts of press releases yourself for the consultant to polish can lower the time billed on content.
- Focusing the PR campaign on a few key media outlets and messages keeps the consultant's monthly hours down.
- Supplying your own key messages and background notes can cut the hours a consultant spends on research.
Before you book
