Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope of work includes a lot of media relations activities, such as creating press releases and contacting opinion leaders and proactive themes. We get a lot of media requests, and S99 PR is really good at putting reporters in touch with the right people and building relationships with various media outlets. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Over the course of our involvement, our brand gained the most market share. It was crucial that the new brand was accepted and that all of our publications and connections knew about the change. Following the launch of our brand, we saw a notable increase in media coverage thanks to S99 PR. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

S99 PR rarely, if ever, delivered projects late. I can rely on S99 PR to complete any last-minute requests for speaking submissions, media coverage summaries, or press releases in a matter of days or even hours. 

What was your primary form of communication with S99 PR?

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They frequently anticipate problems and recommend preparation beforehand. In order for us to get started right away when we introduced the new brand, they were creating PR plans for all of the new CEOs and their teams before the merger was finalized. These plans included speaking engagements, media relations, and other activities.  

Are there any areas for improvement or something S99 PR could have done differently?

They always rose to the occasion and I don't have any areas of improvement to report.

They committed to placements in 3-6 media outlets over the course of three months for $1800 per month. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

They needed to get us placed with  3-6 media outlet, so success is fairly simple to measure.

They did really well delviering on one placement but failed to delvier on the minimum. They also promised television and could not get a single placement. They stated that it was too difficult, but I ended up getting placement with one email.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

I first reached out more than one year ago about media placements. They recommended $1800 per month for a three month agreement guaranteeing 3-6 placements during that time. They also pitched television spots as well. They included an “extensive list of television we can get you off the top” per their email dated Oct 4th, 2023.

They couldn’t get anything. Worse, they spent months not being able to get anything. We pivoted back to just regular print placements and that was a struggle, too. To their credit, I was very happy with one piece in particular but that was kind of it. I would hear from them every so often stating they had leads with some big names and then they would go dark. When I’d follow up, they would say their contacts were asking too many questions or that the focus didn’t match. After only delivering two placements, I reached out and asked for a refund of the third payment of $1800. They, in turn, promised to generate three more leads. 

Sometime later, they reached back out noting interest from a publisher who was outside the U.S. and a woman’s beauty magazine. I pointed out that these two audiences had nothing to do with my market and they said they would keep at it. 

Two months later, they still had not produced anything nor had they reached out with a single update. Worse, and as soon as I gave up on them, I contacted two television stations and secured the very placements they could not get in five minutes. Once again, I asked for a refund of the final amount for failure to deliver and they said they would not because they had spent too much time on this.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They did make one good placement, but that would be it.

Are there any areas for improvement or something S99 PR could have done differently?

They guarentee is not just meaningless, it's untrue. They overpromised and underdelivered to such a degree that they could not even deliver on the basic terms of our agreement.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire S99 PR to accomplish?

• To increase the brand recognition of our business, we hired S99 PR. Initially, I was thinking about employing a media firm to handle our brand overall and a brand expert to concentrate on creating a profile for our CEO among Americans. I wanted to make sure that both projects got the same amount of attention.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

For the United States, we selected S99 PR as our agency of record. They were hired to manage our PR and create social media material for our U.S. CRO, our CEO Americans, and our North America account. Our goals were to position our CEO and other executives as opinion leaders and to create our company's presence in American media from the ground up.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Since employing S99 PR, we have witnessed a total 180-degree change in our awareness of the United States. Prior to partnering with CVM, our CEO of the Americans and our brand as a whole were not well known, but that has changed because to the steady stream of press attention they have generated for us. 

They have been successful in raising awareness of every project I have presented to them, but more than that, I value their ability to advise on which subjects will receive the greatest media attention and which won't. Verifying that our CEO of the Americans is satisfied with the manner and degree of GFT's media representation is, in my opinion, one of the most crucial criteria. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The communication channels that work best for our team are supported by S99 PR. For instance, they contact us using a messaging app for priority media requests and opportunity to guarantee a prompt response. We always have a team member on hand, which is beneficial for a multinational business that frequently operates in different time zones. 

Every Friday, we set aside extra time for a weekly check-in, during which they give me an update on what they're working on and what's coming up. We also communicate often throughout the week.

What was your primary form of communication with S99 PR?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I contacted 20 different media outlets to begin my hunt. I then reduced it to five based on their level of achievements, which included their track record of excellent press coverage, media network and connections, and client history. The fact that S99 PR fulfilled all of these requirements and demonstrated their ability to meet my objectives for GFT as a brand and for our CEO of the Americans, was what ultimately gave them the advantage. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something S99 PR could have done differently?

In order to ensure that the proper individual is constantly working on the projects that will have the greatest impact, S99 PR has modified their team structure as our partnership has developed. I'm happy that we've settled into a solid routine at this stage of our relationship, where I know who is in charge of what and I have faith that they're the most qualified candidate.

The top three real estate brokers in a particular search region were included on the landing page they made. The form would appear as an advertisement or in the search results for the top agents in the region. They did a great job of finding the ideal mix between budgeting and key words. After completing the form on the landing page, visitors would automatically be provided with the contact details of three of the top agents in their desired location. S99 PR was able to include our agent coverage with their landing page, which allows them to instantly route customers to the top agents in their area, because we already have a sizable agent network. It was high-quality, automated, and the service was fantastic.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Over a month period, we spent approximately $10,000 on lead generation with Webimax, and received back approximately $22,000 in referral sales commissions from our agents. All hands free, automatically built in.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They are very hands on and available to go over any and all aspects of your campaign. With lead generation there is a lot of trial and error, constant tweaking. S99 PR not only understands this, but they anticipate it and proactively approach different styling of the page, or different key word budgeting, long form vs short form, etc. They were in constant communication with us presenting ideas of what to try not to constantly improve the functionality of the lead generation page.
