Kolkata outreach works best when the language, subject and travel pattern match the newsroom. A Bengali civic story and a national business announcement should not share one generic invite. Before asking any agency for a proposal, separate strategy, event production, public information and editorial publication.
PRS International
We can define the story, prepare press material, coordinate targeted invitations, plan the room and manage follow-up for an agreed Kolkata brief. The actual team and supplier scope are confirmed in writing. We do not claim a Kolkata branch office or guaranteed coverage.
iCommunications
Its own site lists a Salt Lake City, Kolkata office and describes PR and digital services. View its own site ↗ This is an independent comparison example, not a PRS partner or endorsement; confirm availability and terms with it directly.
West Bengal Information & Cultural Affairs Department
The department describes public information and media coordination as government functions, including press conferences. Official information ↗ Government communication is a different role from a private agency mandate.
Akashvani News Kolkata
The broadcaster has a Kolkata regional unit; its editorial team decides whether a story fits. Regional unit ↗ An invitation or fee to an agency cannot purchase independent editorial coverage.
Specify the work before comparing fees
Separate an agency’s outreach work from independent Bengali and English editorial decisions. Ask for a bilingual material review and a named local delivery contact. Prepare Bengali material when the relevant desk needs it, with a careful review of names, technical terms and quoted statements.
News angle, source checks, approvals, named media target groups, translated material when needed and a realistic timeline.
A producer, media check-in, working sound, spokesperson support, a clear Q&A and contact for urgent factual questions.
Distribute approved materials, answer follow-up, correct errors and report invitations, attendance and publication as separate facts.
Questions for every Kolkata proposal
- Who is the delivery lead? Ask which people handle local desks and who covers absence.
- What is included? Separate agency fee from venue, production, travel, paid media and tax. Use the cost worksheet.
- How is local relevance established? Ask for a subject-specific approach and the language review plan.
- What is reported? Request verifiable outputs, without a promise of independent coverage.
