They actually brought us more opportunities for the press than we were able to execute upon ourselves. So many of our attorneys are incredibly busy during the course of a day.

The style of the agency is the style of its Founder, which is very professional. You can tell that he spent many years in Harvard and working with many leaders.

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

The founder is a driving force, but what is most impressive is that he has built a culture of excellence. The team members bring a sense of dedication and commitment that is sorely lacking in the marketplace today. They set a high standard that any other PR firm couldn't replicate, let alone other vendors with whom we had worked.

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

I just want to work with them on more projects and look forward to the opportunity to engage them again. I would change nothing in terms of the business process.

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

They helped us maximize the campaign's reach and were quick to create communications based on the latest developments. Most of all, Ben and Vicky were supportive throughout and it was easy to depend on them in terms of both strategy and delivery. They communicate with me a lot and they got traction from their press releases when others couldn't.

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

No, I’m very pleased with them at the moment. We’ve only worked together for five months, but they’re so much better than what I had before. I like that they communicate with me at a clearly agreed time.

Describe the scope of their work in detail, including any steps and the final deliverables.

Vicky was my account manager and we also communicated with Ben - the founder of BA Content.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

I have complete confidence in their ability to write content that matches our tone. They provide a monthly recap of all of the successful media we’ve had in the previous month. They measure the number of stories we’re featured in. There are very few publications in the industry, and they’re able to get us in those regularly. Since we’ve employed them, we’ve maintained a regular presence in all of the industry publications and been featured at least once a month in the needed magazines.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We prefer to have a meeting once in a month just so they share the results with us and that is totally fine for both sides.

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

They truly are a team of good people—they’re in it for the long run to get the best results. Rather than trying to nickel-and-dime someone, they work hard to find the right audience for our message. They guide the entire process from A to Z. They’re smart, creative people who know exactly what we’re trying to do.

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

They’ve done a great job for us and the results speak for themselves, so I don’t have any areas for improvement.

We wanted to increase our sales in the US by increasing our brand awareness.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We were previously with another agency but wanted to switch to a new one. I wasn’t a part of the initial scouting, though I know we met BA Content & PR through recommendations from other people we knew in the industry.

We hired BA Content & PR to be our PR firm and drive our US brand awareness. We signed contract and they were handling all of our relationships with key editors and the press. They’ve done bigger, one-off campaigns, but we really rely on them for more of the day-to-day management of our US PR.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

All the projects that we’ve initiated with them have always run incredibly smoothly. Everything was always on time and executed to an amazing standard, too. We had biweekly meetings and spoke through Slack and email. If there’s an issue or if something comes up, their team has great communication.

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

Their professionalism, results, and the overall ease of working with them are impressive.

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

That’s hard to say... I don’t think there’s anything they could’ve improved on given the circumstances.

We rebranded in late 2021, launching a new narrative and product positioning. We needed to go out and start telling our brand story more strategically. One of the best ways to do that is through PR, so we brought BA Content on board to help us share our story, position us as a thought leader in our industry, and help with general awareness and reputation management.
