A good PR company will be able to help you with this of course, but you should also have some idea beforehand. Are you a nationally recognized corporation? Then you might want to enlist the help of a full service firm. But if you are a smaller company just looking to get a little media attention, then an agency that focuses on press release services will be a good and affordable fit.
Know who is behind the company
Is the work outsourced to dozens of writers armed with your information and a template or are they true writers? Even public relations professionals are sometimes not familiar with what reporters prefer in a release. A writer who has worked in the journalism field will have the expertise in knowing how a press release should be written. Does the firm provide services that include working with you to come up with story angles? If you aren't truly newsworthy your press release news updates will go nowhere, but a public relations company that is experienced can work with you to find newsworthy angles that even you had not considered.
Whether you are a business owner that likes to take a hands on approach to your marketing or you're just interested in saving money, it's wise to consider outsourcing some portions of your public relations campaign.
