      I worked with Claire and Amandine at Splash PR on the development and promotion of my event last September, and they did a truly remarkable job. From start to finish, they were professional and fully invested in making it a success. I am delighted to have discovered them and look forward to working together again. If you're looking for a human-sized agency that really takes the time to understand your needs, I highly recommend them!

      We've had the pleasure of working with Claire at Splash PR for over 10 years now, and the partnership is still going strong. Claire knows her craft inside and out. On every project, she has a perfect vision of what we want to achieve, and she delivers flawlessly every time. She is committed, dedicated, always available, and deeply professional. She's constantly doing whatever it takes to help our business succeed, and what truly sets her apart is that she consistently goes above and beyond what is expected, driven by a genuine pursuit of perfection. We couldn't recommend Claire and Splash PR more highly.

      Isabelle Krief's Review Sourced from Google

      Everything looked great on paper but Claire did very little for my business and only fulfilled about 30% of the plan set up in our contract. Everytime I asked her if she had done the task we had set up, there was either a delay or she didn't do it at all and found excuses. I was very disappointed by her lack of professionalisme eventhough she charged me 3k/month. She did a lot of damage for my business and I would not recommend her.

      These guys are the real deal. I needed help cleaning up some old search results that were affecting my job prospects. They explained the process clearly and got results faster than I expected. Now when you Google me, it actually reflects who I am today—not mistakes from a decade ago. Highly recommend.

      Working with the team has been a great experience from start to finish. They brought my vision to life with a high-quality, custom Shopify website and were always responsive, patient, and willing to make revisions to ensure everything was exactly how I wanted it. Communication throughout the project was professional, and they were committed to delivering a website that reflected my brand rather than relying on a generic template.

      I don’t usually write reviews, but Alrwyt Alwash deserves one. I hired them for ecommerce SEO in Dubai, and they helped scale my store faster than I expected. My revenue increased by 30% after working with them. They are responsive, transparent, and focused on ROI. It didn’t feel like I hired an agency, it felt like I added a growth partner to my business. Definitely recommend them for anyone serious about ecommerce in the UAE.

4 Frequently Asked Questions About PR Firms

What services do PR firms offer?

They offer the following services:

  • Media relations and earned coverage: Through strong media relations, PR agencies pitch stories, coordinate interviews, and place clients in relevant publications. Recent industry data shows that 63% of consumers trust news media information over advertising, reinforcing the value of PR-led media coverage.
  • Strategic communication and PR strategy: Developing a tailored PR strategy aligned with business goals to reach target audiences effectively. According to PR Week’s State of PR report, 75% of communicators say PR must directly align with business results.
  • Reputation and crisis management: A public relations firm prepares organizations for potential risks and leads response efforts during crises. According to industry research, businesses with a proactive crisis plan recover up to 50% faster than those without one.
  • Corporate communications and public affairs: Many agencies handle internal and external corporate communications, ensuring consistent messaging across employees, investors, and the public. They may also support public affairs, helping organizations navigate regulatory environments and communicate with government stakeholders.
  • Content and digital marketing integration: Modern PR services often overlap with digital marketing, content marketing, and influencer marketing. PR firms create press releases, thought leadership articles, and multimedia content that amplify visibility across digital channels. Digital and online media now account for 57.84% of PR spending, showing how communication strategies have shifted toward digital-first engagement.
  • Brand positioning and thought leadership: PR agencies help companies establish authority through thought leadership, strategic storytelling, and consistent messaging. This is especially important for emerging brands seeking to build brand recognition in competitive markets.
  • Client advisory and PR counseling: Providing ongoing PR counseling to guide leadership decisions. Agencies advise each client on communication strategy, market positioning, and stakeholder engagement. 

How much do PR services typically cost?

The price of PR services varies widely depending on the scope, industry, and level of expertise required. Most entry-level and mid-sized businesses should expect to pay $5,000-$15,000 per month for meaningful results from a professional PR firm.

For ongoing support, agencies typically charge a monthly retainer.

  • Entry-level or boutique PR firm: $3,000-$5,000 per month
  • Mid-sized agencies: $8,000-$15,000 per month
  • Enterprise or global public relations companies: $15,000-$40,000+ per month

A 2025 pricing analysis shows that most retainers fall between $5,000 and $20,000 per month, with larger national or global campaigns exceeding that range. 

Agencies charge hourly for advisory, PR counseling, and similar services with rates ranging from $100 to $300 per hour

How do these firms handle crisis management situations?

They handle crisis management by preparing in advance, responding quickly, and guiding the recovery after the immediate issue is contained. 

First, a PR firm assesses risk and builds a response plan before a crisis happens. That matters because 89% of business leaders say resilience is a strategic priority, which shows how seriously companies now treat crisis readiness, according to Deloitte.

When a crisis breaks, firms move fast to control the narrative by drafting a holding statement, advising executives, coordinating legal and leadership input, and managing media questions. The goal is to respond within the first day, because early action often shapes how the issue is perceived.

Top agencies also monitor digital channels in real time. At the start of 2024, there were 5.04 billion social media user accounts worldwide, and the global total grew by 266 million in 2023, which means crises can spread extremely fast across platforms.

After the immediate response, PR teams focus on trust recovery, handling follow-up messaging, stakeholder communication, and reputation rebuilding.

What timelines should I expect before seeing measurable results from PR efforts?

PR results typically take time to build, with most businesses seeing measurable impact within 3 to 6 months, and stronger, sustained results over 6 to 12 months.

Early outputs, such as media placements and initial media relations traction, can appear within the first 4 to 8 weeks. However, meaningful outcomes, such as improved brand recognition, a stronger reputation, and consistent coverage, require ongoing effort and a well-executed strategy.

According to the 2024 Global Comms Report by Cision, 68% of PR professionals say demonstrating long-term impact remains a top priority, reinforcing that PR is a cumulative investment rather than a short-term tactic.

In practice, organizations that commit to at least 6 months of consistent PR activity are far more likely to see measurable business value.
