Public Relations (PR) Agency Agreement

A PR Agency Agreement defines the scope of public relations services, deliverables, and media obligations. This playbook examines confidentiality, approval rights, and crisis response provisions.

Scope of Services

Why This Matters: A clear scope prevents misunderstandings, controls costs, and avoids disputes over unplanned work or unmet expectations.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Client:

Ensure the scope of services is detailed and specific to avoid any ambiguity. Clearly define responsibilities and approval processes to maintain control over the project.

If you're the Service Provider:

Negotiate for flexibility in service delivery while ensuring that any additional work is compensated. Clearly outline the boundaries to prevent scope creep.

Essential elements

Service Definition

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the scope lacks clarity or if responsibilities are not well-defined.

EDIT

Reject if the clause allows for undefined services or lacks an approval process.

ADD

Add language to specify timelines and approval processes if missing.

PRO TIP

Always ensure the scope is as detailed as possible to prevent future disputes.

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, ensure the scope includes detailed risk management strategies and contingency plans to address potential issues.

Multiple Service Providers

When multiple providers are involved, clearly delineate responsibilities and establish a coordination mechanism to prevent overlaps and gaps.

Long-Term Contracts

For long-term contracts, include periodic reviews of the scope to adapt to changing needs and ensure continued alignment with objectives.
