Public Relations bookkeeping shouldn’t stop at simply inputting the data. You should be using this data to see how your agency is performing compared to the industry. We have pulled data from First Research, Gould + Partners, PR Newswire, The Holmes Report, Forbes, and so we can compare your agency against industry averages.
Using this data, we are able to put together a budget based on the number of employees you have and track your performance against the key performance indicators that are important to public relation agencies. With our support, you will have the tools to take your agency to the next level.
