Panel Discussion: Agency Partnerships

Get the most from your PR agency partnership. Whether you’re on the client or agency side – with a large organization or small – it’s critical to start with a clear understanding of objectives, expectations, capabilities, budget and scope. And like any relationship, the chemistry should be right. Hear perspectives from a solo practitioner, large agency, nonprofit and corporation on how to avoid the pitfalls and take the right steps from the start to ensure a successful client-agency partnership.

Panelists:

  • Karen Kirchenbauer, APR - Principal, SeyferthPR
  • Nick Wasmiller - PR Lead, Amway Corp.
  • Adam Russo - Owner, COM 616
  • Robin Luymes, MM, APR - Executive Director of Communications, Davenport University
