FOREWORD
The 2025 edition of O’Dwyer’s Directory of Public Relations Firms contains listings of public relations firms and public relations departments of advertising agencies worldwide. Readers should cross-reference the directory with the “Find a PR Firm” database on odwyerpr.com for the latest updates to listings as well as newly-added firms not found in the printed directory.
The rankings of PR firms are intended to allow the reader to draw rough conclusions regarding growth year over year. Only firms that list clients are included in the rankings. Outside CPAs of the firms were asked to do a “special report” on the figures involved (see page 6 for complete rules). While not the same as a full audit, such a report, also referred to as an “agreed-upon-procedure,” carries the full endorsement of the CPA firms.
The rankings should be regarded as an expression of the directory’s opinion, rather than a statement of fact. The rankings are only intended to be approximations in the directory’s judgment of a firm’s standing within the industry, and are not warranted to comply with any specific objective standards.
PR has moved mostly to the agency side where extensive special practice areas have built up over the past 30 years. For example, O’Dwyer’s currently has 75 ranked firms in healthcare and 62 in technology based on 2024 fees. Only O’Dwyer’s does such rankings which are usually at or near the top in Google searches for those categories.
New to the rankings for 2025 is "Crisis Communications" and "Adult Beverages/Spirits" bringing total number of PR specialties ranked to 23.
The directory’s geographical index reflects the fact that many PR firms operate from multiple office locations. This sorting is carried over into the PR specialty index which identifies firms with skills in 32 areas such as beauty and fashion, food and beverage, healthcare, investor relations, professional services, sports and entertainment, technology, and travel.
Articles in this year’s directory address hiring a PR firm and the ins and outs of PR firm mergers and acquisitions.
The last section of the directory, an exclusive cross-client index, lets you look up a company and determine its outside PR counsel.
The editors of the directory thank all the PR firms for their cooperation in providing data for the rankings as well as their listings of accounts, PR professionals, addresses, etc. We believe the availability of fuller information about the PR counseling industry will help clients who seek to employ firms and will help the industry to grow faster.

How to Hire a PR Firm: The Corporate View
by
Fraser P. Seitel, President of Emerald Partners and former Senior VP for Public Affairs at The Chase Manhattan Bank. He is the author of The Practice of Public Relations, in its 13th edition, and co-author of Rethinking Reputation, published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2012.
In In the 21st century, the public relations business is “big business.” Public relations agency revenues total billions of dollars annually, and public relations executive remuneration has grown exponentially. Nonetheless, the key variables in hiring and retaining a public relations agency haven’t changed much over the years. It still makes great good sense for a potential “buyer” of communications services to be both cautious and vigilant in hiring a public relations agency.
As one who has been on both the corporate and agency sides of Public Relations practice, the following “Baker’s Dozen” rules to guide the purchasers of public relations service might be helpful.
1) Whenever possible, seek competitive bids.
Consultants, like most of us, react in a more reasonable way when they know they have competition for the business. Whenever you can, put the consultant assignments out for bids assessing not only the most economical bidder but also the most creative. By seeking competitive bids, you guard against consultant complacency.
3) Emphasize results.
It is “results” not “activity” that counts. Make consultants specify exactly what their work will achieve; in other words, their goals. Make them commit to milestones along the way. Make them specify how much each element in the program will cost and what will be the anticipated results.
Seitel’s 13 rules when hiring outside PR counsel:
And set a time limit for when the program will conclude. Insisting on specifics and results keeps a consultant honest. You and he or she are both aware of what the program’s objectives are and whether or not they are being attained as time goes by.
1. Whenever possible, seek competitive bids.
2. Get references and interview them.
3. Emphasize results.
4. Negotiate down larger retainer fees.
5. Review monthly bills.
6. Beware the management audit.
7. Don’t leap for the big “name.”
8. Buy creativity.
9. Personalize social media
10. Resist the “waffler.”
11. Beware “hidden extras.”
12. Make demands.
13. Quickly disengage.
They know they’re in a “fight” for the business and can’t take anything for granted.
Beyond this, of course, by seeking several bidders and making them spell out their intentions for the account, you can pick up valuable tactics that may have application later on. In a world that is “pure,” of course, such meritorious ideas should be paid for. Sadly, that is not always the case with public relations competitive bidding.
2) Get references and interview them.
You wouldn’t hire a new employee without checking references. Nor should you hire a consultant without discovering the experience that others have had in using the firm. Even larger, well known public relations firms should be checked. (They’ve got clunkers on staff, too!)
In soliciting references, avoid generalities. Ask specific questions of those for whom the consultant previously had worked.
--What was the nature of the assignment you had the consultant work on?
--Did he or she finish it on time, on budget, with a pleasant attitude?
--Are you still using what was produced?
--How do you suggest I use this consultant and his or her people?
References can be invaluable not only in determining the worth of a particular consultant but also in structuring your specific assignment.
4) Negotiate down larger retainer fees.
Certainly, there are public relations consultants today who are worth every bit of the $500 or $600 or higher per hour that they ask. (Some ask $1,000 an hour. Are they worth it?
Well…………..)
Not everyone in Public Relations who asks for a high fee is worth it.
Every public relations consultant wants a high monthly retainer fee. Depending on the assignment, six-figure monthly fees are not unheard of.
Consultants may suggest such stratospheric retainers. But don’t automatically agree. Rather, negotiate with the consultant. Counter offer to start the firm at a reduced rate – hopefully a much reduced rate – to give both parties time to assess and work into the relationship.
If, after several months of activity, the consultant proves invaluable and well worth it, then revise the agreement accordingly. But push back on the first proposal, especially if it sounds too high.
5) Review monthly bills.
And speaking of costs, don’t be a patsy with the charges you receive. Review monthly bills monthly.
Check the mode of transportation that firm representatives use to visit the company. Do they take the subway or fly first class? Where do they stay when they do out-of-town work for you? Do they favor the Ritz or bunk at Motel Six?
Where do they eat on project time? Grenouille or Wendy’s?
And what about those annoying telephone, copying, and messenger costs? Are they really necessary? And how much are they being marked up?
The point is that it’s your company’s – and your stockholders’ – money. You should treat it as your own. So scrutinize and challenge, if necessary, every monthly bill the consultant sends. If the firm gets away with something early in the relationship then by your initial silence, you condone this behavior. And you
deserve to be gouged further, as surely you will be.
6) Beware the management audit.
The first thing any self-respecting PR consultant wants to do is “get to know” the organization by interviewing the senior management team. Resist this request whenever possible.
First, top executives are busy and don’t have time to be interviewed by every new outsider hired to consult the company. Second, some consultants use the “management audit” as a guise to get to higher ranking executives for future considerations.
So while there’s nothing wrong in concept with first researching the beliefs and aspirations of senior management, you, as the firm’s public relations professional and conscience of the organization – not to mention sponsor of the consultant, – should approach the “management audit” with caution or at least question its necessity.
7) Don’t leap for the big “name.”
There are an awful lot of published authors, former congressmen, media personalities, and quasi-celebrities running around masquerading as “public relations consultants.” In many cases their specialty is who they know, not what they know.
Nothing wrong with being “connected” but...sometimes people of this ilk who claim they are “plugged in” may well have had the “plug” pulled when they left office.
Much better than hiring a former or quasi-anything as a PR consultant is retaining a firm in whom you have confidence and with whom you are familiar and comfortable. Indeed, many veteran consultant-users suggest that “personal chemistry” between the client and the consultant is an eminently more meaningful measure than the name recognition or celebrity status of the advisor.
8) Buy creativity.
Just as you don’t want to buy a consulting firm for its name or hire someone you can’t stand, neither should you dish out hard-earned corporate money for mediocre advice.
In other words, avoid the “shelf shill” the consultant whose every answer is safe, bland, and straight off-the-shelf, having been used many times before. You have the right to insist that you not be “peddled” the research, analysis, or solutions used for other clients; what quality improvement guru W. Edwards Deming called, “instant-pudding answers.”
Rather, hire creativity. You and your staff can provide “safe” counsel to management. You hire a consultant to bring you a different, more creative perspective from which you can reach a more thoughtful conclusion.
9) Personalize social media.
Communicating via social media is no longer an “option” for organizations. Facebook, Twitter, Tik Tok, Instagram, You Tube, WeChat, WhatsApp, et al have all become commonplace in the practice of public relations.
In other words, every organization must use social media. And every public relations agency will offer social media counsel as part of its presentation pitch.
The trick for you, as the potential client, is to select an agency that “personalizes” its social media pitch to your particular needs. So beyond producing a Facebook page or Twitter account
or You Tube videos or Instagram networking capability, the agency must demonstrate how its management of your interactive social media presence will distinguish you from the competition. Stated another way, “What, specifically, will they offer to make your social media distinctive from all the rest?” That is the question that must be answered.
10) Resist the “waffler.”
The worst advice a consultant can offer is “waffling” advice counsel that yings and yangs but never commits to a specific point of view. “On the one hand, you might do this...but on the other hand...,” etc.
Advice like this just isn’t worth the money. PR consultants must stand for something. Make them commit to a point of view. How else can you find out how good they are? The kind of thumb-sucking analysis that leads to over-prudence and a risk-adverse paralysis isn’t something you should buy.
10) Beware “hidden extras.”
Keep your eyes open and your wallet closed to the “nose-under-the-tent” phenomenon that enables a consultant, once through the corporate door, to rack up additional revenues through the sale of extra services such as special reports, extraordinary research, and seconding outside experts to assist.
Occasionally, services outside the parameters of the consulting contract might well be advisable. But these should be discussed in advance of contract signing, so both sides understand the nature of the agreement.
11) Make demands.
You’ve hired the consultant for a reason. Maybe he or she thinks better than you do, and you are paying for the privilege of using the consultant’s brain. So use it often.
Call frequently for advice and counsel. Make consultants know that you’re depending on them and plan to get what you’re paying for. Make a habit of talking to all consultants at least once every couple of weeks.
If a consultant takes you for granted he’ll never produce. By the same token, a consultant who is unsure about what the client wants will also fall short. Rather, as one design consultant put it, you want to be the client the consultant thinks about at 10 o’clock at night.
12) Quickly disengage.
Finally, don’t be reluctant to fire a consultant. Sometimes the client and consultant just don’t click or you overestimated the potential of the assignment or the relationship.
If you find the consultant offers neither increased brain power nor inspired creativity and also isn’t especially thrilling to be around, there’s no shame in quickly disengaging.
In addition, keep your eyes open about “cancellation clauses” at the start of a PR consultant relationship. Many firms insist on cancellation notices of two to six months and stipulate as much in their contracts. Suggest instead a one-month cancellation clause be adopted.
By relying on rules like these dozen, you can help ensure that the counsel you receive is well worth what you pay for it.

Thinking of Selling Your PR Firm?
by Rick Gould, CPA, M.S., J.D., Managing Partner, Gould+Partners
Selling your PR firm will be the most challenging event of your career. When you launched your firm, you were motivated and working within your comfort zone. But when you decide to sell, you’re entering a new and unfamiliar arena and relying on others to drive that process. Having insight into the top drivers of value will be invaluable in deciding whether your firm is ready to sell—and can increase the odds that you will be offered the maximum value possible.
So, what are the main drivers of value? Here are ten.
1. Premium financial valuation. Profitability is the main driver of firm valuation. And the financial valuation is the main driver of the firm’s total value. Other factors are important—and many sellers have perceptions that their firm is worth more than the numbers will support, due to misleading advice or an article they may have read—but ultimately, financial performance will be what impresses a buyer most, and without historical growth and profitability, there won’t be buyer interest.
2. Professional financial presentation. I caution you not to turn over your financials to a prospective buyer without first having the financials reviewed and recasted. The recasting process includes adjustments that are appropriate for M&A valuation purposes. Your financials are the financial PR piece for your firm, and they should be professionally prepared, preferably by an outside CPA firm. When a buyer sees that the firm has invested funds into having the review work necessary and the preparation done by an outside firm—in the recommended format—it casts a positive impression. It will also decrease the amount of due diligence performed by the buyer and, as a result, save both the buyer and seller substantial professional fees.
Some other recommendations:
•Never have Cash Basis financials. They’re fine for tax preparation but must always be on the accrual basis for M&A purposes.
•Never have accounts in your P&Ls called Other, Miscellaneous or Unclassified.
•Never use categories that aren’t self-explanatory.
•Be sure you show revenues as Net Revenues: simply Fees + Mark-ups. Net Revenues (versus Gross Revenues) are what buyers use as the basis for measuring labor, operating costs and profitability.
•Always include “labor” in its own category, directly under Net Revenues.
•Never include account labor and account freelance labor in “rebillable” costs.
3. Quality second tier of management. A buyer will always look beyond the owner to the next level of management. A buyer also needs assurances that once the seller/owner is paid off and potentially leaves the firm, the clients will remain. So, there’s a logical strategy for you.
You must transition from doing the work or making all the decisions to true delegation. You must slowly remove the firm’s dependency on you. Ask yourself, “If I went on vacation for the next month, would the business suffer?” You need to break free from any dependency others have on you. Your job is to scale the business, crafting operational efficiency, productivity and meeting industry benchmarked utilization stats. You must give key people the autonomy to make decisions. Let them make mistakes. Empower them to succeed.
4. Intention of the owner(s). The prospective buyer will always be interested in the owner’s intentions, especially if there’s
only one primary owner. How long is the owner intending to stay? That’s the key question.
Buyers would like at least a three- to five-year commitment, and their hope is that the seller will stay even longer. On occasion, a buyer will agree to a phase down of owner commitment if there’s a strong second tier of management and the owner can show that she/he will not be needed full-time after a certain period. If you’re a prospective seller, you should be aware of your timeline so your exit can be strategically planned. And, most importantly, be transparent with the prospective buyer.
5. Staff talent. A prospective buyer will perform a top-tobottom review of your organization and will analyze your staff at every level, including any records you have on time management. Having stats on utilization is recommended: staff client hours divided by “available” client hours. They’ll also want a detailed staff census, showing staff titles, salaries, bonuses, years with the firm and the clients they service.
6. Cultural profile. Your firm’s culture is of immediate interest, even before any financial analysis. Is your firm a Best Place to Work firm? Have you won industry awards for quality work? Do you belong to professional organizations? Is your firm fully or partially remote? If your firm is mainly remote but the prospective buyer is back in the office, you’ll need to agree that your staff is willing to return to the brick-and-mortar office. This will be a major shift in culture and should be seriously weighed.
7. Quality and concentration of clients. A prospective buyer will want to analyze your client mix: a list of your clients for the past three years showing net revenues, dates of engagement and which senior staff member serviced the client. They’ll also want percentages of each specialty and service sector.
A buyer will do an in-depth analysis of the concentration of your major clients. The general rule is that your largest client shouldn’t exceed 20 percent of the total book of business. It’s strictly based on buyer risk assessment. If this is your only negative box checked, and you have one client as high as 35 percent concentration, I would still move forward and hope there are enough positive aspects to offset this negative. Client concentration is a critical value driver. A firm where no one client exceeds 10 percent of the total book of business will be looked at favorably and will spike the firm’s value.
In addition, some firms maintain lists of the types of clients they won’t accept, such as cigarette brands or fossil fuel companies You need to be sure that your major clients won’t land on these lists or you may be asked to give up the client.
8. Brand value. In addition to your own brand value, your clients also have brand value that may drive up the valuation of your firm. Having well-known logos on your website helps.
9. Seller network. The seller’s contacts are invaluable. In every transaction, a buyer hopes to capitalize on cross-referrals. A seller who’s been in business for decades should have a robust contact list and will be encouraged to rekindle relationships and sell the services of the larger, combined, multi-service firm.
10. Unique specialties. Having a unique specialty may be attractive to a buyer looking for that specialty and, as a result, may drive up value. Firms that specialize in healthcare, sports, digital and crisis have warranted premium valuations.
I would be remiss if I didn’t stress that you should use professionals who understand both the PR business and the M&A process. Planning for, facilitating and closing a transaction takes experience and expertise. Having the right team working with you may ultimately be the top driver of value.
Ten Top Reasons to Get a PR Agency Valuation
by Rick Gould, CPA, M.S., J.D., Managing Partner, Gould+Partners
Contrary to the belief of many prospective sellers, firms are not valued at a multiple of “net revenues.” I was recently called by a client saying he read that firms with 25 percent operating profit may be valued at three times revenues. He was ecstatic, thinking that his $4 million firm is now worth $12 million.
He was also told if the agency had an operating profit of 25 percent (his was 26 percent), the seller could get half the value, $6 million, at closing, for his $4 million PR agency. I assured him that, in my educated opinion, no buyer would ever offer terms that favorable.
I have been valuing PR firms for more than twenty years, initially as the CPA firm for many seller firms, and then when I started my own M&A firm, Gould+Partners, in 2001. Valuing PR agencies is a complex process. It takes financial expertise, knowledge of the M&A marketplace, and an understanding of how buyers create offers/term sheets.
There is no exact science in valuing a PR firm. Every valuation is different. PR is a business in which both actual financial performance, recast for many adjustments, and several intangibles, will determine value. Items such as relationships with clients, depth of second tier of management, specialties, and fee levels may also impact value.
There is generally an element of subjectivity in valuing a firm, but there certainly are objective rules and guidelines that a professional who values PR firms should use. In addition, there is extensive review work performed prior to doing the actual valuation report. Every PR firm has its unique components.
In today’s earn-out model, a majority of the value will be in future performance.
Term sheets, which are presented by buyers to sellers for the acquisition of the seller firm, are customized based on several factors:
1. Recasted operating profit for the past three full years, plus current interim period operating profit for the current year.
2. Net revenue (fees + markups) growth for the same periods.
3. Net worth of the firm as of sale date.
4. Working Capital (current assets less current liabilities) position as of sale date.
5. Other intangible factors, such as second-tier management, quality of staff, quality of clients, office lease, client contracts in place, what percentage largest clients comprise of the total client portfolio and other factors, are all considered when a buyer prepares a term sheet.
The goal is that the terms are fair for both the seller and the buyer. There is no cut-and-dried statement that can be made about how a buyer values a seller.
PR agency valuations require a detailed analysis of financials, profitability benchmarks, client net revenues, employees compensation, utilization, and several other important factors that influence the value of your firm. Although they can be time consuming—and hiring a qualified outside organization to perform the valuation can be an additional expense for your firm—PR business valuations are well worth the resources required to complete them. While having a thorough understanding of your firm’s value is a good idea, there are several specific circumstances when it is particularly beneficial to get an accurate PR firm valuation.
1. Potential Sale. When contemplating putting your PR firm on the market, knowing how much your firm is worth can help you tremendously when determining an asking price for your business and deciding how much you will accept from a buyer.
2. Potential Merger of Two or More Firms. A firm valuation is a valuable resource to have on hand when considering the merger of multiple firms. Again, knowing the value of your firm will help to ensure that a fair and reasonable transaction takes place should the firm merge with another firm.
3. Potential Acquisition. Having a comprehensive firm valuation can also provide valuable information and insight when large and small opportunities for growth come along, such as an acquisition.
4. Phantom Stock Plan (Contract Equity). Retaining key executives is a high priority for most firms. Having a Phantom Stock plan will necessitate a current valuation to illustrate to the executives the worth of their shares upon partial or complete sale of the firm.
5. Partner Buy-In. When adding partners to the firm, knowing your company’s worth is necessary in order to ensure that your new partners pay a fair buy-in price for their shares.
6. Partner Buy-out. In order to ensure a fair transaction takes place when a partner buy-out takes place, knowing a firm’s value is key. The valuation model for a partner buy-out is different than for the sale of a firm.
7. Partner Split-Up. When firm partners split up and potentially divide firm assets, understanding the value of your firm is imperative to reach an equitable settlement.
8. Borrowing Power. Any substantial loan request from a bank or other third-party may require an independent valuation.
9. Divorce. Whether a divorce is amicable or not, knowing the worth of your organization is a safe bet when you go into negotiations. Understanding how much the business you worked hard to build is worth can help ensure that a fair divorce settlement is reached.
10. Estate Planning. When organizing your estate and creating a succession plan for your business, it’s important to have an accurate business valuation on hand. This will help you with tax planning and assist you in determining who should ultimately inherit your financial interest in the firm.
There is no “rule of thumb.” Every valuation is different. There are many moving parts. There are items that may add or subtract from the calculated value. And there are many intangibles that impact the ultimate valuation. For example, top- and bottom-line trends, sudden loss of major clients, death of an owner who is a rainmaker, a key VP leaving and taking a major client.
Here Is What I Recommend when you are considering a valuation:
1. Connect with the person who may do the valuation.
2. Ask for his or her education credentials, such as degrees & certifications, university teaching etc.
3. Ask for his or her cost range.
4. Ask how long will it take to finalize the valuation report.
5. Ask for his or her references.
6. Call the references and ask the following:
•Was there value?
•Was it timely?
•Did they receive high-quality service?
•Was the cost in line with the quote?
If you have a need for a valuation do your homework. Interview the firms that provide this service, specifically the person who will do the valuation. Determine which firm and individual will give you the highest quality of service and product for a fair price.
10 Myths About PR Firms Being Acquired

Whether you’re actively considering the sale of your PR firm, or it’s just a vague idea that’s been percolating at the back of your mind for awhile, it’s important to have realistic expectations before pursuing a deal in earnest.
Because delusional beliefs about the acquisition process can occasionally preclude the most opportunistic of transactions, separating fact from fiction is a prerequisite.
Here are 10 of the most common misperceptions that PR firm CEOs hold about selling their companies:
1. MYTH: I’ll lose all my autonomy.
TRUTH: You’ll actually have a big say in what happens during and after the integration of your firm into the buyer’s organization. The success of the deal depends on it. Your role will substantially change, but remember the buyer is not only purchasing your firm, but also your wisdom. Your opinion matters.
2. MYTH: My firm will remain as a silo within the buyer’s firm.
TRUTH: It’s possible that a buyer will elect to preserve your practice as a wholly owned, standalone operation. However, in our 13 years of advising both buyers and sellers of PR firms, we can attest that it’s more likely that your firm is being purchased as a strategic investment because of everything it brings to the table. However, the onus is on the seller to expectations clear to the buyer – both verbally and in writing – at the outset of the transaction to ensure a true “meeting of the minds.” This might involve interviewing past PR firm CEOs acquired by the buyer.
3. MYTH: I’m better off waiting to sell until my firm reaches $X in revenue.
TRUTH: History proves there is no magic number required for a successful transaction. Whether your annual revenues are $300,000 or $40 million, buyers are looking for firms that complement their organization strategically, not only monetarily. Even if you were to pick some specific revenue goal as a sale prerequisite, you may never get there on your own. Make an honest assessment of your chances of reaching your peak revenue as compared to how those chances might improve with the help of the right buyer.
4. MYTH: My firm would need to be twice as big before anybody would be interested in buying it.
TRUTH: Even through organic growth and diligent new-business initiatives, not every PR firm CEO possesses the business acumen to grow a firm 15-20 percent or more every year. Billings must grow for revenues to grow, and staffing growth is contingent upon those revenues. So waiting five, seven or 10 years to reach some hypothetical “critical mass” could be wishful thinking, and you might miss out on a rare opportunity to sell to the right buyer based upon the realities of your business now.
5. MYTH: If I sell my firm, my clients will leave me.
TRUTH: Generally, most clients are supportive of mergers – provided that you’re honest with them about your motivations, and that you can assure them that they’ll continue to receive the same high level of service they’ve come to expect. Of course, there are few guarantees in life, and some
client attrition is a natural part of any service business. But don’t let that concern become an insurmountable obstacle to pursuing selling your firm.
6. MYTH: After I sell, I’ll be stuck at the buyer’s firm forever.
TRUTH: Your contract will be very specific about upholding your obligation to fulfill a finite tenure at the buyer’s firm to receive your full earnout from the sale. A period of three or four years is common.
7. MYTH: A buyer will always pay the asking price for my firm.
TRUTH: Buyers know the marketplace like the backs of their hands, and it’s the marketplace itself that dictates the selling price, not some supposed valuation prepared by you or your CPA. Unlike the real estate industry, “bidding wars” rarely happen in the PR business, and a seller who remains unrealistically firm on price based on some “accounting trick” valuation strategies may find his or her firm being repeatedly bypassed by potential buyers.
8. MYTH: After being my own boss for so long, I could never report to someone else again.
TRUTH: Following a sale or merger, the success of the combined firm is contingent upon the personal chemistry between buyer and seller. Many sellers have enjoyed rewarding careers after resuming the role of employee in the buyer’s firm.
9. MYTH: I don't have to worry about my senior-level people.
TRUTH: To a buyer, your firm’s key assets are its client roster and its management team. A buyer wants assurance that your senior-level managers are on board with the sale, and that you’ve done everything to keep them fulfilled. It’s not uncommon for a seller to incorporate compensation guarantees for certain key performers into the sale agreement as a retention incentive. It’s equally common for a buyer to want to continue to compensate and reward top performers in the same way you did.
10. MYTH: We’ve got decent billings, but my firm isn’t profitable enough to attract a potential buyer.
TRUTH: Profit is not the highest-ranking criterion for a successful acquisition. Any successful for-profit company must be able to demonstrate a consistent track record of profitability to remain in business and to attract a buyer. With regard to PR firms, the actual profit margin is less important than other factors, such as strategic synergy, client roster and the quality of your management team.
The Bottom Line
Like most PR firm CEOs, you’ve undoubtedly poured your heart and soul into your business, and the decision to relinquish ownership of it is not one to be made hastily. And if you’ve never sold a business before, having a trusted advisor at your side throughout the process can be invaluable.
When it comes to reaping maximum rewards from all that you’ve invested in your company over the years, always remember that an educated seller is a wise seller. Don’t allow erroneous preconceived notions to thwart you from reaching the next stage of your professional life.

Legal, financial services, management consulting, accounting, insurance and other professional services organizations. Full range of communications services: earned media, research and market intelligence, content and editorial, digital and analytics, and crisis and litigation communications. Employees: 60. Founded: 2005.
Agency Statement: Greentarget is a strategic public relations firm that helps professional and financial services organizations create unique positions of authority in an increasingly competitive marketplace. We do this by helping them participate skillfully in the conversations that matter most to their key stakeholders, enabling these organizations to increase market share, attract leading talent and fulfill their purpose.
Founded in Chicago in 2005, Greentarget has since developed a world-class team of 60 spread across three offices, including New York and London. Our culture reflects Greentarget’s core values: hard work, risk-taking, authenticity, creative thinking and individual and team growth.
Our integrated approach — involving research, content, earned media, digital, and special situations counsel — elevates the brands and reputations of clients across earned, owned, shared and paid media channels. And our proven client engagement process empowers executives to not only participate in conversations that influence their audiences, drive business objectives and create value — but direct them.
We direct conversations in our field, too. For the last decade, Greentarget has produced an annual State of Digital & Content Marketing Survey, which examines the information consumption attitudes, behaviors and preferences of in-house counsel and C-suite executives. The report provides practical guidance for the professional services organizations who compete for share of voice among this critical B2B purchasing audience.
Greentarget was awarded “New Agency of the Year” in 2005 by The Holmes Report and nominated for PRWeek Awards’ “Boutique Agency of the Year” in 2012.

Agency Statement: Highwire is a strategic marketing communications agency that partners with companies shaping the future and driving meaningful change at the intersection of innovation and industry. We define clients who build and transform technologies—shaping how the world perceives them—captivating audiences, and positioning them for peerless growth and success. We are data-driven, creative, and industry-wise, fused together with undeniable determination. A rare combination of ability and agility allows us to navigate complexity, influence audiences, and amplify impact.
Data-driven insights, sharp strategy, and breakthrough creativity sit at the heart of all Highwire client programs - whether those programs sit within strategic communications and corporate affairs, come to life across digital channels or are fully integrated across marketing and communications channels. We design programs that reach audiences that matter and move business forward.
The agency continues to lead by providing innovative, integrated, and high-impact public relations and marketing programs, while maintaining an energizing, inclusive environment for its team members. With a team that is 46% diverse and a commitment reinforced by its partnership with the Diversity Action Alliance (DAA), Highwire is actively working to expand representation and build an inclusive agency culture, where every employee can be seen, heard, and valued.

Emily Borders, Kathleen Gratehouse, and Carol Carrubba, Principals 727 Sansome St., #100, San Francisco, CA 94111
Agency Statement: Defining communications broadly to include thought leadership, digital marketing, and paid media as well as traditional PR, The Hoffman Agency knows how to differentiate brands and drive sales. With a heritage in the technology sector, the firm’s work today cuts across a range of industries.
While campaigns vary by client and industry, all share one theme: the creation of content that reflects the tenets of storytelling. This means developing narratives that prompt journalists to write and target audiences to read—a far cry from the “corporate speak” that satisfies internal stakeholders. The firm applies this same mentality to its talent acquisition and marketing services. The firm is increasingly helping non-tech companies tell tech-led stories.
For clients with global needs, the company operates in Asia Pacific, Europe and the United States. Unlike traditional agencies handicapped by their silo structure, The Hoffman Agency embraces a collaborative approach to implementing multi-country campaigns (don’t worship individual office P/L). This leverage of content and thinking across geographies ultimately generates better results.

REDPOINT MARKETING PR INC.
85 Broad St., c/o WeWork, New York, NY 10004 212/229-0119; miranda@redpointmarketingpr.com redpointmarketingpr.com gettickledred.com
Agency Statement: Redpoint is a full-service agency with deep roots in travel, tourism, and hospitality. We got our start back in 2002 as a PR firm, but we’ve grown since then to offer a range of services including website design, digital marketing, social media marketing, and graphic design. But PR runs through our veins, so image management and brand development are always at the forefront of our client programs.
A passion for results ALSO runs through our veins, indeed, it’s in our very name (the composite of “Results, Energy, Direction, and a to-the-POINT focus”). Results come in many forms, with more clicks, coverage, shares, eyes, exposure, and revenue being the most frequently sought.
But not all results are tallied in clear, tangible quantities. We are often asked to shift brand perception. Or develop a shoulder season. Or inspire a company’s staff to be more gracious to its guests. Or evaluate complex situations to make decision-making simple.
We choose the right tools to get the job done. And while our patient determination shepherds clients all the way to the long-term goal line, we ensure there are plenty of short-term wins along the way.
Bottom line: we seek, craft, and share compelling stories with the audiences that matter most to hotels, resorts, cruise lines, destinations, attractions, travel services, associations, tour companies, and more across the globe.
