Why PR agencies suck! (at least some of them)
June 9th, 2009 by laptopWe recently lost an Online Business Development deal to an PR Agency, which I am really bummed about.
Traditional PR agencies should stick to what they are good at, which is managing the flow of information between an organization and it’s publics (yes that’s from Wikipedia).
What they are not good at is web design, devlopment, SEO, Social Media and PPC. More than likely they will outsource the design work to some “Artist” and development to India, just to save a few bucks.
The irony is that they charge large amounts of management fees per month ranging from $ 5000.00 to $ 20,000.00 a month and all they do all day is talk, talk, talk…I am not oppose to working with PR agencies, on the contrary, I love hot models in skimpy dresses serve hors oeuvres and cocktails all night.
I can’t wait to see the result, as PR agnecies should just leave web design and web developement to the pros.
