Startup founders often face a dilemma when it comes to gaining media coverage. Traditional PR agencies typically require monthly retainers with uncertain outcomes. At the same time, some new agencies offer pricing models based on publications. Baden Bower, which works with clients worldwide, represents an approach focused on results-based models.
The difference between these approaches reflects broader changes in the professional services sector. Companies are increasingly seeking measurable results rather than paying for time. Baden Bower’s CEO, AJ Ignacio, has witnessed this transformation firsthand.
«We combine guaranteed results with access to publications and global operations», - explains Ignacio.
Traditional PR agencies usually require contracts with upfront payments. Clients fund the development of proposals, media relationship building, and campaign strategy as part of ongoing services. Many agencies have built their reputations on relationships with reporters and editors, which can lead to varying outcomes for individual clients.
According to Baden Bower, the company has moved away from the retainer model. It claims that clients pay for services only after materials are published, and in the absence of placements, refunds are provided. Since launching this model, Baden Bower reports thousands of published materials across various outlets. The company has a rating of 4.7 out of 5 on Trustpilot based on 216 reviews and 5.0 out of 5 on Glassdoor.
Industry research shows that many marketers consider digital PR essential for brand growth. Startups often value speed and transparency. The best PR agencies for startups can prioritize placements that help companies attract investors and customers during growth periods.
Traditional PR campaigns typically evolve over long periods. Agencies develop storylines, identify target publications, pitch materials to editors, coordinate interviews, and monitor drafts. Some firms specialize in managing narratives across multiple media touchpoints. Their processes can lead to publications that contribute to industry discussions over time.
Baden Bower asserts that in some cases, placements can occur in a short timeframe. According to the company, it has developed distribution systems and media networks designed to streamline the publication process. The company reports thousands of media placements. Some experts note that different timelines serve various strategic needs. Startups often seek media validation before meetings with investors, product launches, or partnerships.
«Entrepreneurs need credibility that aligns with their business timelines», - notes Ignacio. Other companies in this space have also entered the market for guaranteed placements.
Traditional agencies report metrics such as media reach and impressions. These measurements help clients understand the scale and positioning of a campaign. However, linking PR activities directly to business outcomes can be challenging. Marketing executives are increasingly seeking evidence that publicity contributes to growth.
According to Baden Bower, the company tracks specific results. Baden Bower claims that some clients report increased conversion rates and lead volumes after receiving media coverage. These results, the company says, help startups evaluate their PR investments using similar calculations to those applied to advertising and content marketing. The company provides links to publications, audience reach data, and tracking, rather than just campaign summaries.
Transparency also extends to pricing. Baden Bower asserts that media placement services with predetermined costs simplify financial planning and can help manage cash flow.
Traditional PR operates on a model based on efforts. Agencies bill for the time spent developing strategies, preparing materials, and communicating with journalists, regardless of publication outcomes. Clients bear the risk if stories do not yield the expected results
