PTA usually works on a project fee or retainer basis. We will state specific fees for specific services in our proposals  with guaranteed results for some services. Retainers generally come into play for full campaigns that have a larger scope to them.

What is your process?

Once you come aboard with PTA, you are assigned an account manager who will oversee the campaign and always be available and accountable to you. Weekly updates will be sent to you. A timeline for the campaign's execution will be presented early on, either in writing or stated verbally. A team of one to three specially trained publicists, depending on the scope of the campaign, shall be assigned as well, based on his or her experience, special skills, detailed knowledge, availability, personal interest, and team-client chemistry.

How long does my campaign last?

It depends on the specific service that you retain us to execute. Our national print outreach lasts between three months and one year, but typically averages six months. The same holds for our national broadcast outreach. Other campaigns take place in a shorter time span. We usually need 4-6 weeks to execute a radio tour or a Satellite TV tour -- or we can turn them around in a shorter time frame depending on your needs and the timing and the news-worthiness of the message.
