Public Relations agencies for Government.

Public Relations is the discipline of building and defending reputation: media relations, corporate narrative, crisis communications, ESG and sustainability storytelling, internal comms, and executive positioning. It overlaps with digital PR but the goal is trust and stakeholder credibility, not backlinks. Success in 2026 is measured against outcomes, not the volume of clippings.

Red flags
6 to watch
in any pitch
  • · AVE (Advertising Value Equivalent) presented as a real measure of success - AMEC's Barcelona Principles 3.0 explicitly reject it
  • · Reporting that stops at impressions, reach, and a coverage roundup with no link to trust, sentiment, or business outcome
  • · No documented crisis protocol: no holding statements, no out-of-hours contact tree, no deepfake or synthetic-media scenario planning
  • · Generic 'great media relationships' claims with no named journalists, beats, or recent placements in the brand target outlets
  • · AI-generated press releases at scale - templated tone, bland quotes, hallucinations, no senior editorial sign-off
  • · Flexible retainers with vague monthly deliverables, no out-of-scope pricing, and quiet fee creep over the year
