This is the reason why most agencies don\u2019t give guarantees to their clients.    But when I started my own business I was determined to give my clients some sort of solid guarantee - even if it went against the typical PR \u201crules.\u201d Why? Because as a small business owner myself, I know it\u2019s hard to invest so much money in publicity without even knowing what results you\u2019re going to see on the other end.   But here\u2019s the thing - publicity can be guaranteed and I can attest to this with the work we have done (and are currently doing).   So if you\u2019d want to learn what guarantees I offer to clients, the important things you need to think about when looking for a publicity agency and how you can find the best agency to cater to your business\u2019 needs, listen in on this episode today.
