Re: [uk-netmarketing] RE: banner ads v PR

Um - Liz...I don't have any say with regards to which PR agency my client

choses to deal with. It's a moot point by the time it gets to me. If I did,

I'm sure things would work differently.


If the client does not have a PR agency, then we will assist them in

locating one, usually one that has demonstrated a willingness to work with

the agency and/or specializes in the client's industry. It's not in our

interest to work against the client or their objectives. That's why they

hired us. At least that's the way I view it. 


Trust me...if I had a say in the matter, I would. But on occaissions I have

to work with a PR group, I'm very very happy to do so & willing to tend to

their needs as well.
