How to Become An Award Winning PR Firm

Who would have thought that in 2008 we would be ranked as the 10th largest PR firm in Houston?

We opened our doors in August 2008, a week later we had a hurricane, a month after that we had a U.S. financial market meltdown and the month after that we headed into the Thanksgiving  and Christmas holidays. Not a great way to open up a PR agency.  

In January 2009, we put it all in the past, and rolled up our sleeves and went to work. We didn’t stop running into 2010, and in 2011 the Houston Business Journal, the main business journal in Houston, announced we were ranked the 10th largest in the Houston metro area!

We owe a great deal of gratitude to our global team who always offer assistance and expertise when needed.  

We also won the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Houston 2011 Mid-Sized Agency of the Year Award in June, so it is exciting to add another accolade to our name.

So the moral of the story is that in o rder to open an award winning PR firm, in our experience you should:

  •  Keep a cool head despite any disasters whirling around you
  •  Work hard
  • Establish connections and relationships with businesses and people around you
  • Keep your clients happy
  • Share the success with your co-workers and anyone who has helped you achieve the success
