2018 O’Dwyer’s Directory of PR Firms • www.odwyerpr.com 5

fOrEwOrd

The 2018 edition of O’Dwyer’s Directory of Public Relations Firms contains listings of public relations firms andpublic relations departments of advertising agencies worldwide. Readers should cross-reference the directory withthe “Find a PR Firm” database on odwyerpr.com for the latest updates to listings as well as newly-added firms notfound in the printed directory.

The rankings of PR firms are intended to allow the reader to draw rough conclusions regarding growth year overyear. Only firms that list clients are included in the rankings. Outside CPAs of the firms were asked to do a “specialreport” on the figures involved (see page 6 for complete rules). While not the same as a full audit, such a report, alsoreferred to as an “agreed-upon-procedure,” carries the full endorsement of the CPA firms.

The rankings should be regarded as an expression of the directory’s opinion, rather than a statement of fact. Therankings are only intended to be approximations in the directory’s judgment of a firm’s standing within the industry,and are not warranted to comply with any specific objective standards.

The directory’s geographical index reflects the fact that many PR firms operate from multiple office locations.This sorting is carried over into the PR specialty index which identifies firms with skills in 23 areas such as beautyand fashion, food and beverage, healthcare, investor relations, professional services, sports and entertainment, technology, and travel.

Multiple articles in this year’s directory address hiring a PR firm, preparing a PR RFP, ins and outs of PR firmmergers and acquisitions and 2018 tax changes that will affect PR firm owners.

The last section of the directory, an exclusive cross-client index, lets you look up a company and determine itsoutside PR counsel.

The editors of the directory thank all the PR firms for their cooperation in providing data for the rankings as wellas their listings of accounts, PR professionals, addresses, etc. We believe the availability of fuller information aboutthe PR counseling industry will help clients who seek to employ firms and will help the industry to grow faster.

Living by a mantra like Engaging Always meansliving in perpetual beta, where starting anew is

the only thing we know. From our roots in PRto leading clients to bold, new territories,there’s no room to pause on our journey.

Because those who hesitate can’t innovate.So we set our engagement engine to overdrive.

our business, and the world around us.

After all, who are we to keep the world waiting?

Connecting globally. Evolving daily.Engaging Always.

First there is the ah-ha moment. Then, the call to Spark.

We’re listeners, strategists, and builders in the land of the new.

We love telling your story so the rest of the world can say Yes. $17 billion in exits happened that way.

Because we deal with so much new in the Valley,

When they want to refresh their brands, Spark is where that happens.

We live in categories like enterprise, consumer,

blockchain.

You never know when it can happen. You’re eating cereal at 3 a.m., reading the back of the box, and there it is: the whole concept, fully formed. The future is right there.

There it is. Let's go.

Two choices present themselves—hire an ad agencyrelated PR operation or an independent firm. Both havepluses and minuses.

The PR volume handled by the five conglomerate operations is in the hundreds of millions and dwarfs the revenues of the independents.

One reason is that PR, advertising and marketing are integrated at the conglomerates. A restructured Ogilvy hasnoted that PR is no longer a separate function.

Nearly all press relations have shifted to agencies. Manycompanies, and particularly blue chips, do not have PR departments or even a PR function. Their “corporate communications” units are focused on executive and employee communications, company websites, social media,retirees, local communities, public service and other audiences.

Seminar, founded in 1952 and known as “PR Seminar” until2007 when it dropped the “PR,” has 200 blue chip corporateexecs as members. Fewer than five have “PR” in their titles.

“pr” retained by major Trade groupHowever, the PR Council, comprised of 100 PR operations

including conglomerates and many major independents, hasexamined the issue and has kept PR in its title.

Members of the PR Society of America rejected an attempt at the Oct. 7, 2017 Assembly to replace “PR” with“communications” throughout the bylaws. Both terms are nowused.

The numerous functions of a PR firm have been noted byCooperKatz which says the chief value provided to clients ismedia outreach.

Defenders of “PR” note that “communications” also refersto communications infrastructure such as cellphone towers,telephone equipment, etc.

Specialty practices EmergeFirms have developed specialty practices in recent years

that give them deep backgrounds in at least a dozen areasincluding healthcare, tech, financial, food, environmental,beauty/fashion, entertainment, home furnishings, professionalservices, travel, sports/leisure and agriculture. The O’Dwyerwebsite provides a link to 124 documented ranked firms withthese practices.

Consultants who specialize in helping companies to find theright firm are RFP Assocs., Washington, D.C., headed byRobert Udowitz, and Pile and Co., Boston, headed by MeghanMcDonnell.

First step in searching for a firm would be opening a dialogue with four to six likely prospects, an even number ofad agency-related and independent firms.

Firms billing more than $10 million yearly are looking formonthly retainers of $50,000. Smaller firms are looking forfees of $20K to $30K. Ask for the size of the budget. Expensescould be an extra charge.

Ask for account lists to check for conflicts.Look for clients in similar industries and check their size

and prestige. Would your company be a giant among midgetsor vice-versa? Look for press placements in major as well as

trade media. Compare minimums and other prices beingcharged. You want a firm that speaks your language.

Ask two or three interested firms to make written proposals.Most will come up with run-of-the-mill PR ideas and programs.But one or two will come up with some really good...evengreat...ideas. Those are the firms that should be hired. A well-written RFP will outline the specifics the agencies needto address.

Visit Offices of ContendersVisit the offices of finalists. Look for staffers who are busy

at computer terminals. Empty offices, outdated clippings onthe walls are bad signs. Meet the support people. If a bigagency is involved, your work may be farmed out to writers,artists, placement and other specialists. Meet them from timeto time.

The firm you pick should have deep background on theindustry or industries you are representing and should notrequire a long break-in period.

Make the PR firm part of your company. Don’t be adversarial.Have one informed person at the agency and let him or her fillin the other agency departments.

Ask agency principals before you sign how often you aregoing to see them each month. Meet the A/E who is assignedto day-to-day contact with you and know what other accountshe or she is working on.

Accessibility Is NeededYou need instant accessibility to your firm. Some of the

smaller firms keep all their employees up-to-date on theiraccounts as much as is possible. A client who calls can alwaysexpect some kind of help or at least knowledgeable interest inhis or her problem.

Too many firms wait for the client to take the initiative.Monthly meetings with agency principals are also

important. If you don’t like your A/E, that’s the time to bringit up. Don’t be afraid to ask for a new one. Many companieshave switched agencies when all they really needed was a new A/E.

performance Can Be measuredThere are many ways of measuring the performance of a PR

firm. These include obtaining higher sales and profits for yourproduct, increased floor traffic at consumer outlets, increasedmarket share, increased profits, publicity obtained, and reaching tangible goals such as passage of legislation.

A PR firm on a sizable budget should be able to come upwith four or five major placements a year—besides counselingand the day-in and day-out product, personnel and other routine announcements.

Examples are a "personality" profile in the New York Timesor Wall Street Journal, a feature in a major magazine, a segment on a nationwide TV program. That is the most efficient way to reach big audiences. The company may be soimportant to the field that the trades have to pick up just aboutevery word it says.

Also important is creating a dialogue with influencers onsocial media. This can be a significant requirement of clients.The third parties help to validate what the clients are saying.

In the 21st century, the public relations business is “bigbusiness.” Public relations agency revenues run into thebillions annually, and that’s big! However, the key vari-

ables in hiring and retaining a public relations agency haven’tchanged much over the years. It still makes great good sensefor a potential public relations agency client to be cautiousbefore hiring an agency.

As one who has been on both the corporate and agency sidesof Public Relations practice, the following “Baker’s Dozen”rules to guide the purchasers ofpublic relations service might behelpful.

1) whenever possible, seekcompetitive bids.

Consultants, like most of us,react in a more reasonable waywhen they know they have competition for the business.Whenever you can, put the con-sultant assignments out for bidsassessing not only the most eco-nomical bidder but also the mostcreative. By seeking competitivebids, you guard against consult-ant complacency.

They know they’re in a “fight”for the business and can’t take anything for granted.

Beyond this, of course, by seeking several bidders and mak-ing them spell out their intentions for the account, you canpick up valuable tactics that may have application later on. Ina world that is “pure,” of course, such meritorious ideas shouldbe paid for. Sadly, that is not always the case with public relations competitive bidding.

2) get references and interview them.You wouldn’t hire a new employee without checking refer-

ences. Nor should you hire a consultant without discoveringthe experience that others have had in using the firm. Evenlarger, well known public relations firms should be checked.(They’ve got clunkers on staff, too!)

In soliciting references, avoid generalities. Ask specificquestions of those for whom the consultant previously hadworked.

--What was the nature of the assignment you had the con-sultant work on?

--Did he or she finish it on time, on budget, with a pleasantattitude?

--Are you still using what was produced?--How do you suggest I use this consultant and his or her

people?References can be invaluable not only in determining the

worth of a particular consultant but also in structuring yourspecific assignment.

3) Emphasize results.It is “results” not “activity” that counts. Make consultants

specify exactly what their work will achieve; in other words,their goals. Make them commit to milestones along the way.Make them specify how much each element in the programwill cost and what will be the anticipated results.

And set a time limit for when the program will conclude.Insisting on specifics and results keeps a consultant honest.

You and he or she are both aware of what the program’sobjectives are and whether or notthey are being attained as timegoes by.

4) Negotiate down largerretainer fees.

Certainly, there are public rela-tions consultants today who areworth every bit of the $500 or$600 or higher per hour that theyask. (Some ask $1,000 an hour.Are they worth it? Well…………..)

Not everyone in PublicRelations who asks for a high feeis worth it.

Every public relations consult-ant wants a high monthly retainer

fee. Depending on the assignment, six-figure monthly fees arenot unheard of.

Consultants may suggest such stratospheric retainers. Butdon’t automatically agree. Rather, negotiate with the consult-ant. Counter offer to start the firm at a reduced rate – hopefullya much reduced rate – to give both parties time to assess andwork into the relationship.

If, after several months of activity, the consultant provesinvaluable and well worth it, then revise the agreementaccordingly. But push back on the first proposal, especially ifit sounds too high.

5) review monthly bills.And speaking of costs, don’t be a patsy with the charges you

receive. Review monthly bills monthly.Check the mode of transportation that firm representatives

use to visit the company. Do they take the subway or fly firstclass? Where do they stay when they do out-of-town work foryou? Do they favor the Ritz or bunk at Motel Six?

Where do they eat on project time? Grenouille or Wendy’s? And what about those annoying telephone, copying, and

messenger costs? Are they really necessary? And how muchare they being marked up?

The point is that it’s your company’s – and your stockhold-ers’ – money. You should treat it as your own. So scrutinizeand challenge, if necessary, every monthly bill the consultant

sends. If the firm gets away with something early in the rela-tionship then by your initial silence, you condone this behavior. And you deserve to be gouged further, as surely youwill be.

6) Beware the management audit.The first thing any self-respecting PR consultant wants to do

is “get to know” the organization by interviewing the senior management team. Resist this request whenever possible.

First, top executives are busy and don’t have time to beinterviewed by every new outsider hired to consult the compa-ny. Second, some consultants use the “management audit” as a guise to get to higher ranking executives for future con-siderations.

So while there’s nothing wrong in concept with firstresearching the beliefs and aspirations of senior management,you, as the firm’s public relations professional and conscienceof the organization – not to mention sponsor of the consultant,– should approach the “management audit” with caution or atleast question its necessity.

7) don’t leap for the big “name.”There are an awful lot of published authors, former con-

gressmen, media personalities, and quasi-celebrities runningaround masquerading as “public relations consultants.” Inmany cases their specialty is who they know, not what theyknow.

Nothing wrong with being “connected” but...sometimespeople of this ilk who claim they are “plugged in” may wellhave had the “plug” pulled when they left office.

Much better than hiring a former or quasi-anything as a PRconsultant is retaining a firm in whom you have confidenceand with whom you are familiar and comfortable. Indeed,many veteran consultant-users suggest that “personal chem-istry” between the client and the consultant is an eminentlymore meaningful measure than the name recognition orcelebrity status of the advisor.

8) Buy creativity.Just as you don’t want to buy a consulting firm for its name

or hire someone you can’t stand, neither should you dish outhard-earned corporate money for mediocre advice.

In other words, avoid the “shelf shill” the consultant whoseevery answer is safe, bland, and straight off-the-shelf, having been used many times before. You have the right to insist that you not be “peddled” the research, analysis, or solutions used for other clients; what quality improvementguru W. Edwards Deming called, “instant-pudding answers.”

Rather, hire creativity. You and your staff can provide “safe”counsel to management. You hire a consultant to bring you adifferent, more creative perspective from which you can reacha more thoughtful conclusion.

9) Insist on “social media” inclusion.Social media isn’t “the answer” to every public relations

question, but it’s a necessary tool in any public relations program. Using social media, like using traditional media, is a facility with which every public relations agency should

be conversant. While some firms “specialize” in social media, the fact is

that communicating via social media -- Facebook and Twitterand Instagram and Snapchat and Youtube and all the rest -- hasbecome commonplace in the practice of public relations.Therefore, a social media component must be included inevery agency representation pitch. So insist on it.

10) resist the “waffler.”The worst advice a consultant can offer is “waffling” advice

counsel that yings and yangs but never commits to a specificpoint of view. “On the one hand, you might do this...but on theother hand...,” etc.

Advice like this just isn’t worth the money. PR consultantsmust stand for something. Make them commit to a point ofview. How else can you find out how good they are? The kindof thumb-sucking analysis that leads to over-prudence and arisk-adverse paralysis isn’t something you should buy.

10) Beware “hidden extras.”Keep your eyes open and your wallet closed to the “nose-

under-the-tent” phenomenon that enables a consultant, once through the corporate door, to rack up additional revenues through the sale of extra services such as specialreports, extraordinary research, and seconding outside expertsto assist.

Occasionally, services outside the parameters of the consult-ing contract might well be advisable. But these should be discussed in advance of contract signing, so both sides under-stand the nature of the agreement.

11) make demands.You’ve hired the consultant for a reason. Maybe he or she

thinks better than you do, and you are paying for the privilegeof using the consultant’s brain. So use it often.

Call frequently for advice and counsel. Make consultantsknow that you’re depending on them and plan to get whatyou’re paying for. Make a habit of talking to all consultants atleast once every couple of weeks.

If a consultant takes you for granted he’ll never produce. Bythe same token, a consultant who is unsure about what theclient wants will also fall short. Rather, as one design consult-ant put it, you want to be the client the consultant thinks aboutat 10 o’clock at night.

12) Quickly disengage.Finally, don’t be reluctant to fire a consultant. Sometimes

the client and consultant just don’t click or you overestimatedthe potential of the assignment or the relationship.

If you find the consultant offers neither increased brain power nor inspired creativity and also isn’t especiallythrilling to be around, there’s no shame in quickly disengaging.

In addition, keep your eyes open about “cancellation claus-es” at the start of a PR consultant relationship. Many firmsinsist on cancellation notices of two to six months and stipu-late as much in their contracts. Suggest instead a one-monthcancellation clause be adopted.

By relying on rules like these dozen, you can help ensure that the counsel you receive is well worth what you payfor it.

The request for proposal process in agency selectionworks to the extent that it is open, fair and balanced. ThePR Council reports that one-third of all new business for

agencies is generated by RFPs. For agencies, that’s substantialenough to take the process seriously. For clients, this under-scores the continuing importance of a process which is oftenderided (especially when it’s poorly managed), but absolutelycritical to finding the most-qualified agency or consultancy.

Gone should be the sparse, two-page RFPs that promptmore questions than they answer, and that ask for the world in10 days’ time. RFPs should include a core scope of work anda budget; there’s simply no way to rationalize that agenciesshould propose a cost. All agencies should have an equal shotat winning the client’s business. If an RFP does not followthese basic rules, agencies should reject it en masse.

Hiring a new agency with a budget of $250K, $500K or $1million+ is like hiring a new public relations staff.

How long does that usually take? No staffer ever comes onboard without presenting credentials, going through severalrounds of interviews of staff, and being vetted through refer-ences, writing tests, and credit bureaus. It’s a process that typically takes you and HR three to six months -- yet mostclients try to hire a new PR agency in four to six weeks.

It’s irrational, considering you are hiring a firm to be thecaretaker of your corporate reputation, and to serve as yourorganization’s external face.

definition and Background NeededRFPs are pro forma in most industries. In PR, we need to

operate differently. We should define the situation, providecontext and background, and then outline what’s required. Thegoal of each RFP should be to provide as much information aspossible to allow an agency to offer its perspective, qualifica-tions, and proposed plan of action to achieve stated goals.

Every agency search deserves a defined timeline that is clearto both sides. Cattle calling numerous agencies to responddoes no party any good, and disrespects our industry.

We advocate first pre-screening RFP recipient candidatesthrough a request for qualifications (RFQ) as a means touncover conflicts, true expertise, staffing, and (sometimes)locations. Choosing five to seven RFP recipient-contendersfor your business is reasonable. Ending up with three or fourfinalists narrows the choice to a manageable level and winningagency.

Each successful, well-run agency search is a badge for theprofession. The good work of our industry is evident in theSilver Anvils, Thoths, Gold Quills, SABRE Awards, and more.We would be willing to bet that many, if not most of thoseaward-winning agencies were hired following a well-writtenand -organized RFP process.

going globalMore organizations are seeking agencies to help them on

different continents. For some this involves hiring and workingwith a number of firms. For others, it’s about finding a singleagency with global capabilities.

Working with a single firm – or even a network of firms –in more than one country presents a number of challenges. It’simportant to learn the relationship between a foreign officeand the hired agency before entering any type of arrangement.

In some countries the agencies do not fully own, or may justhave a partnership, with the office on the ground.

Budgeting and management becomes more complex, too.The costs in each foreign market are typically aligned to thehourly rate of the staff levels needed. And, expenses can varywidely depending on the country/market and the overall costof living there. Clients need to ensure the reporting structurebegins at the agency level and moves up to the client contactin a formal, consistent basis. Same with managing invoicesand monthly costs.

Budgeting for Agencies remains difficultNo matter the size of a company or the scope of the work

intended for an agency, clients remain confused over what aspecific agency budget will “buy.” Whether PR firms seek tobe compensated by the hour, through a retainer, or for a projectfee, the dollar amounts are ultimately based on either a blended professional services fee rate or top-down structurethat can quickly add up. Most PR work is time-intensive andclients do not typically factor realistic hours and the numberand level of staff required for their work. Instead, many will typically articulate a budget they believe their boss ororganization can live with, and cross their fingers in the hopethat that budget will produce results.

This is why it is very important to be specific with a budgetwhen searching for an agency; doing so enables you not only to be able to make an apples to apples comparison regarding proposed service levels and staffing by competingagencies, but also gives you a solid understanding of what your budget will help you achieve in terms of activityand likely results.

knowledge is powerAgencies are only as smart as their potential clients allow

them to be. The more thorough an RFP the more likely a clientwill give competing agencies the opportunity to respond in athoughtful, professional manner. Attention to details as variedas the organization’s history, its experience with past agencies,and its problems and/or controversies, all help the competingagencies respond more effectively.

Details such as organizational charts and an explanation ofhow the communications department functions, provideimportant context to the way the relationship will operate. Andit goes without saying that typically, agencies that pay closeattention to such nuances described in the RFP typically constitute the best long-term partners for their clients.

ConclusionPublic relations agency leaders– and no small number of

client organization executives -- may bemoan RFPs, and vowto ignore them (or to select their agency in some differentmanner). But we remain strong advocates of them, not simplyfor self-serving purposes, but because we believe there is nomore effective way to evaluate the qualifications, readiness,and enthusiasm of competing agencies.

If you take the time to produce a thorough RFP and managea comprehensive, smart, fair, and open-minded agency selectionprocess, you will identify the agency best-suited for, and most interested in serving, your company or organization’simportant communications requirements.

Contrary to the belief of many prospective sellers, firmsare not valued at a multiple of “net revenues.” I wasrecently called by a client saying he read that firms

with 25 percent operating profit may be valued at three timesrevenues. He was ecstatic, thinking that his $4 million firm isnow worth $12 million.

He was also told if the agency had an operating profit of 25percent (his was 26 percent), the seller could get half thevalue, $6 million, at closing, for his $4 million PR agency. Iassured him that, in my educated opinion, no buyer would everoffer terms that favorable.

I have been valuing PR firms for more than twenty years,initially as the CPA firm for many seller firms, and then whenI started my own M&A firm, Gould+Partners, in 2001.Valuing PR agencies is a complex process. It takes financialexpertise, knowledge of the M&A marketplace, and an understanding of how buyers create offers/term sheets.

There is no exact science in valuing a PR firm. Every valuation is different. PR is a business in which both actualfinancial performance, recast for many adjustments, and several intangibles, will determine value. Items such as relationships with clients, depth of second tier of management,specialties, and fee levels may also impact value.

There is generally an element of subjectivity in valuing afirm, but there certainly are objective rules and guidelines that a professional who values PR firms should use. In addition,there is extensive review work performed prior to doing the actual valuation report. Every PR firm has its unique components.

In today’s earn-out model, a majority of the value will be infuture performance.

Term sheets, which are presented by buyers to sellers for theacquisition of the seller firm, are customized based on severalfactors:

1. Recasted operating profit for the past three full years,plus current interim period operating profit for the current year.

2. Net revenue (fees + markups) growth for the same periods3. Net worth of the firm as of sale date4. Working capital (current assets less current liabilities

position as of sale date5. Other intangible factors, such as second-tier management,

quality of staff, quality of clients, office lease, client contracts in place, what percentage largest clients comprise of the total client portfolio and other factors, are all considered when a buyer prepares a term sheet

The goal is that the terms are fair for both the seller and thebuyer. There is no cut-and-dried statement that can be madeabout how a buyer values a seller.

PR agency valuations require a detailed analysis of financials, profitability, clients, employees, investments, andseveral other important factors that influence the value of yourfirm. Although they can be time consuming—and hiring aqualified outside organization to perform the valuation can bean additional expense for your firm—PR business valuationsare well worth the resources required to complete them. Whilehaving a thorough understanding of your firm’s value is agood idea, there are several specific circumstances when it isparticularly beneficial to get an accurate PR firm valuation.

1. partner Split-up. When firm partners split up and potentially divide firm assets, understanding the value of yourfirm is imperative.

2. partner Buyout. In order to ensure a fair transactiontakes place when a partner buyout takes place, knowing afirm’s value is key.

3. partner Buy-In. When adding new partners to the firm,knowing your company’s worth is necessary in order to ensure that your partners have appropriate and fair fiduciaryresponsibility within the organization.

4. potential merger of Two or more firms. A firm valuationis a valuable resource to have on hand when considering themerger of multiple firms. Again, knowing the value of yourfirm will help to ensure that a fair and reasonable transactiontakes place should the firm merge with another firm.

5. potential Sale. When contemplating putting your PR firmon the market, knowing how much your firm is worth can helpyou tremendously when determining an asking price for yourbusiness and deciding how much you will accept from a buyer.

6. potential growth. Having a comprehensive firm valuationcan greatly help making beneficial business decisions on aday-to-day basis. It can also provide valuable information andinsight when large and small opportunities for growth come along.

7. Borrowing power. Any substantial loan request mayrequire an independent valuation.

8. divorce. Whether a divorce is amicable or not, knowingthe worth of your organization is a safe bet when you go intonegotiations. Understanding how much the business youworked hard to build is worth can help ensure that a fairdivorce settlement is reached.

9. Estate planning. When organizing your estate and creatinga succession plan for your business, it’s important to have anaccurate business valuation on hand. This will help you withtax planning and assist you in determining who should ultimately inherit your financial interest in the firm.

There is no “rule of thumb.” Every valuation is different.There are many moving parts. There are items that may add orsubtract from the calculated value. And there are many intangibles that impact the ultimate valuation, for example,top- and bottom-line trends, sudden loss of major clients,death of an owner who is a rainmaker, a key VP leaving andtaking a major client, and so forth.

here Is what I recommend1. Connect with the person who may do the valuation.2. Ask for his or her education credentials, such as courses,

teaching valuations.3. Ask for his or her cost range.4. Ask how long will it take to the valuation report.5. Ask for his or her references.6. Call the references and ask the following:

•Was there value?•Was it timely?•Did they receive high-quality service?•Was the cost in line with the quote?

If you have a need for a valuation, do your homework.Interview the firms that provide this service, specifically theperson who will do the valuation. Determine which firm andindividual will give you the highest quality of service andproduct for a fair price.

Whether you’re actively considering the sale of your PR firm, or it’s just a vague idea that’s beenpercolating at the back of your mind for awhile, it’s

important to have realistic expectations before pursuing a dealin earnest. Because delusional beliefs about the acquisition process can

occasionally preclude the most opportunistic of transactions,separating fact from fiction is a prerequisite. Here are 10 of the most common misperceptions that PR

firm CEOs hold about selling their companies:1. MYTH: I’ll lose all my autonomy.TRUTH: You’ll actually have a big say in what happens

during and after the integration of your firm into the buyer’sorganization. The success of the deal depends on it. Your rolewill substantially change, but remember the buyer is not onlypurchasing your firm, but also your wisdom. Your opinionmatters.

2. MYTH:My firm will remain as a silo within the buyer’sfirm.

TRUTH: It’s possible that a buyer will elect to preserveyour practice as a wholly owned, standalone operation.However, in our 13 years of advising both buyers and sellersof PR firms, we can attest that it’s more likely that your firmis being purchased as a strategic investment because of everything it brings to the table. However, the onus is on theseller to expectations clear to the buyer – both verbally and inwriting – at the outset of the transaction to ensure a true “meeting of the minds.” This might involve interviewing pastPR firm CEOs acquired by the buyer.

3. MYTH: I’m better off waiting to sell until my firm reaches$X in revenue.

TRUTH: History proves there is no magic number requiredfor a successful transaction. Whether your annual revenues are$300,000 or $40 million, buyers are looking for firms thatcomplement their organization strategically, not only monetarily.Even if you were to pick some specific revenue goal as a saleprerequisite, you may never get there on your own. Make anhonest assessment of your chances of reaching your peak revenue as compared to how those chances might improvewith the help of the right buyer.

4. MYTH: My firm would need to be twice as big beforeanybody would be interested in buying it.

TRUTH: Even through organic growth and diligent new-business initiatives, not every PR firm CEO possesses thebusiness acumen to grow a firm 15-20 percent or more everyyear. Billings must grow for revenues to grow, and staffinggrowth is contingent upon those revenues. So waiting five,seven or 10 years to reach some hypothetical “critical mass”could be wishful thinking, and you might miss out on a rareopportunity to sell to the right buyer based upon the realitiesof your business now.

5. MYTH: If I sell my firm, my clients will leave me.TRUTH: Generally, most clients are supportive of

mergers – provided that you’re honest with them about yourmotivations, and that you can assure them that they’ll continueto receive the same high level of service they’ve come toexpect. Of course, there are few guarantees in life, and some

client attrition is a natural part of any service business. Butdon’t let that concern become an insurmountable obstacle topursuing selling your firm.

6. MYTH: After I sell, I’ll be stuck at the buyer’s firm forever.

TRUTH:Your contract will be very specific about upholdingyour obligation to fulfill a finite tenure at the buyer’s firm toreceive your full earnout from the sale. A period of three orfour years is common.

7. MYTH:A buyer will always pay the asking price for myfirm.

TRUTH: Buyers know the marketplace like the backs oftheir hands, and it’s the marketplace itself that dictates the selling price, not some supposed valuation prepared by you oryour CPA. Unlike the real estate industry, “bidding wars”rarely happen in the PR business, and a seller who remainsunrealistically firm on price based on some “accounting trick”valuation strategies may find his or her firm being repeatedlybypassed by potential buyers.

8. MYTH: After being my own boss for so long, I couldnever report to someone else again.

TRUTH: Following a sale or merger, the success of thecombined firm is contingent upon the personal chemistrybetween buyer and seller. Many sellers have enjoyed rewarding careers after resuming the role of employee in thebuyer’s firm.

9. MYTH: I don't have to worry about my senior-level people.

TRUTH: To a buyer, your firm’s key assets are its clientroster and its management team. A buyer wants assurance thatyour senior-level managers are on board with the sale, and thatyou’ve done everything to keep them fulfilled. It’s not uncommonfor a seller to incorporate compensation guarantees for certainkey performers into the sale agreement as a retention incentive. It’s equally common for a buyer to want to continueto compensate and reward top performers in the same way youdid.

10. MYTH: We’ve got decent billings, but my firm isn’tprofitable enough to attract a potential buyer.

TRUTH: Profit is not the highest-ranking criterion for asuccessful acquisition. Any successful for-profit companymust be able to demonstrate a consistent track record of profitability to remain in business and to attract a buyer. Withregard to PR firms, the actual profit margin is less importantthan other factors, such as strategic synergy, client roster andthe quality of your management team.

The Bottom LineLike most PR firm CEOs, you’ve undoubtedly poured your

heart and soul into your business, and the decision to relinquish ownership of it is not one to be made hastily. And ifyou’ve never sold a business before, having a trusted advisorat your side throughout the process can be invaluable. When it comes to reaping maximum rewards from all that

you’ve invested in your company over the years, alwaysremember that an educated seller is a wise seller. Don’t allowerroneous preconceived notions to thwart you from reachingthe next stage of your professional life.

This year has brought us the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,”which will impact PR agency owners personally aswell as their agencies. This column will review the key

provision changes that we will be facing in 2018 and beyond.New income tax rates and bracketsTo determine your regular tax liability, there are now new

tax rate schedules. There will be four tax rate schedules basedon filing status.

Under the pre-Act law, individuals were subject to six taxrates: 10 percent, 15 percent, 25 percent, 28 percent, 33 percent, 35 percent and 39.6 percent.

The new tax law introduces seven brackets for individuals:10 percent, 22 percent, 32 percent, 35 percent and 37 percent.For example, a married couple with taxable income over$165,000 but not over $315,000 will incur a tax of $28,179plus 24 percent on the excess over $165,000 up to $315,000.

There are basically three ways to measure tax rates: marginal tax rate, average tax rate and effective tax rate.

The marginal rate is the tax rate that applies to the nextadditional increment of the taxpayer’s taxable income. Theaverage tax rate is the average rate of taxation on each dollarof tax income. The effective tax rate is the rate of taxation oneach dollar of total income (both taxable and nontaxable).

In my view, most taxpayer’s focus on the effective rate.The standard deductionWe all know that the tax act eliminates the deduction for

state and local taxes that are more than $10,000 and reducesthe amount that can be deducted for home mortgage interest(see below).

The new standard deduction is $24,000 for married filing ajoint return, $18,000 for head-of-household filers and$12,000 for all other taxpayers. Note, no changes are made tothecurrent law additional standard deduction for the elderlyand the blind.

The deduction for personal exemptions is effectively suspended by reducing the exemption amount to zero.

mortgage and home equity indebtedness interest deduction limited

Under the pre-Act law, the mortgage interest and homeequity loan deduction was limited to acquisition indebtednessof up to $1 million ($500,000 in the case of married filing separate), plus home equity indebtedness of up to $100,000.

The new tax law provision suspends home equity indebtedness and the deduction for mortgage interest is limited to underlying indebtedness of up to $750,000($375,000 for married filing separately).

For tax years after December 31, 2025, the prior $1 million/$500,000 and home equity indebtedness is restored.Note, the treatment of indebtedness incurred on or beforeDecember 15, 2017 is not subject to this new provision.

Also, if you entered into a binding contract written beforeDecember 15, 2017 to close on the purchase of a principal residence before January 1, 2018 and purchase such residence

before April 1, 2018, the new tax law limitation will not apply.

An open question: Assume you own a home and have nomortgage but need to make substantial improvements to yourhome; a new kitchen and baths as an example. You borrowunder a new “home equity” loan to make these improvements(banks generally do not lend under a “mortgage”). Will the underlying debt be considered “home acquisition indebtedness” allowing the interest to be deducted?

In my view this should work! However, guidance is neededby the IRS to put this to rest. Some tax professionals say“yes” and others “no.”

miscellaneous itemized deductions suspendedUnder the pre-Act law, taxpayers could deduct certain

miscellaneous itemized deductions to the extent they exceeded,in the aggregate, two percent of adjusted gross income. Fortax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and beforeJanuary 1, 2026, this deduction is suspended.

This means any “business expenses” incurred by anemployee of a PR agency will not be deductible! This is agood time to learn how an employer can bypass this rule bysetting up an “accountable plan.”

deferred compensationInternal Revenue Code Section 83 governs the amount and

timing of income inclusion for property, including employerstock, transferred to an employee regarding the performanceof services.

Under the code, an employee must generally recognizeincome for the tax year in which the employee’s right to thestock is transferable or is not subject to a sub substantial riskof forfeiture.

The amount of income to be recognized is the excess of the stock’s fair market value at the time of substantial vesting over the amount, if any, paid for the stock by theemployee.

The new law allows a qualified employee to elect to deferfor income tax purposes the amount of income attributable to qualified stock transferred to the employee by the employer.

The deferral period is made by election no later than 30days after the first time the employee’s right to the stock is substantially vested or is transferable, whichever occurs earlier. (Note: the balance of the rules are complex and professional advice is needed!!)

Obviously, I can’t review every provision in this column.However, one important provision to understand is the newdeduction for pass through income.

Generally, the new law allows a non-corporate taxpayer,including a trust or estate, who has qualified business income from a partnership, S corporation or sole proprietorship to deduct what is known as the 20 percentdeduction. Have you been told this will now work for PR agencies?

Founded: 1987.

Agency Statement: Defining communications broadly to include digital, content marketing, thought leadership as well as traditional PR, TheHoffman Agency knows how to differentiate brands and deliver air coverfor sales. With a heritage in the technology sector, the firm’s work todaycuts across a range of industries. While campaigns vary by client and industry,all share one theme: the creation of content that reflects the tenets of story-telling. This means developing narratives that prompt journalists to writeand target audiences to read - a far cry from the “corporate speak” that satisfies internal stakeholders. Toward this end, the firm conducts storytellingworkshops for internal communicators, executives and employees. Forclients with global needs, the company operates in Asia Pacific, Europe andthe United States.
