Kasra Dash and James Dooley break down how to properly vet and select a PR agency, emphasising that structured questioning is the fastest way to uncover an agency’s true competence, honesty and strategic alignment. They explain why contract length reveals confidence—agencies offering rolling agreements typically believe in their ability to deliver and remain accountable. They outline how clear KPIs such as impressions, email signups and qualified leads determine real value, because measurable outcomes prove whether PR efforts are working. They also explore how channel selection—digital PR, billboards, TV, or mixed-media campaigns—directly influences reach and brand impact. Finally, they highlight that case studies and past performance are the strongest indicators of expertise, as they verify whether an agency has succeeded in similar niches. Together, Kasra and James position PR-agency vetting as a crucial business process, because the wrong choice wastes budget, slows brand momentum and restricts long-term growth.
