PerkettPR Named One of the Top U.S. Public Relations Agencies
HolmesReport Recognizes Firm's Unique Vision, Philosophy and Results
BOSTON - April 9, 2007 - PerkettPR, Inc., a provider of results-based public relations and strategic marketing communications, today announced it has been chosen by the HolmesReport as one of the top 'Boutique Agencies to Work For in the entire country. The trade journal placed PerkettPR #3 on the list of best places to work among firms its size.
The HolmesReport "Best Public Relations Agencies to Work For" survey was conducted online with employees of participating agencies responding to 55 questions covering all aspects of their firm's culture - from trust in management to compensation and client service. More than 4,000 employees from more than 100 agencies participated in the survey.
The report praises PerkettPR for utilizing a virtual structure, which is "still surprisingly unusual in the public relations business." This structure minimizes overhead while bringing together full-time, senior level public relations professionals that receive a salary and benefits. The firm has also moved away from the typical hierarchical structure utilized by most agencies and which often leads to junior executives executing account work.
"The PerkettPR team has been working that way for almost a decade," said Paul Holmes, president and CEO of the HolmesReport. "The firm finds special people that can work in a virtual environment while understanding that a virtual agency is not a freelance job. It's an environment that's high on collaboration and low on hierarchy."
PerkettPR employee survey responses included comments such as "There's a real sense of teamwork and company-wide pride in exceeding client goals. The enthusiasm and work ethic of fellow employees is stronger than most agencies, and everyone always gives their all while servicing clients."
PerkettPR President and Founder, Chris Perkett added, "I'm proud of our team and the way we effectively collaborate to deliver superior client results. This industry recognition is important to our clients because it emphasizes our ability to retain quality staff - and thus, clients experience little to no account turnover and a long lasting, solid relationship with their account teams. From tactics to strategy, each employee is involved in creating a unique culture that effectively runs our virtual agency."
