Searching for a PR agency in Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad or Bhopal? Start with the reporting job, not a “best agency” ranking. Ask for a relevant project example, a clear scope and current local supplier terms before comparing prices.
Write a comparable brief
Specify the announcement, industry, city, languages, date range, spokesperson, target desks and deliverables. Separate story development, earned media invitations, press materials, venue, AV and any paid placement. A company promising a fixed number of independent news articles is not offering the same service as one that coordinates invitations and evidence.
Five checks for each proposal
- Can the team show relevant, verifiable work in your sector and city without claiming every historic clipping as proof of its role?
- Who handles reporter questions, factual corrections, translation and after-hours changes?
- What does the quote include and exclude: venue, cameras, catering, travel, taxes and cancellation?
- Are press contacts approached professionally and with a story suited to their beat, rather than by bulk personal-number messaging?
- Which outcome measures are within the agency's control, and which depend on independent journalists?
