Ways of Working: This is how we work with clients.
Partnership & Access: We are an extension of the client team and think of ourselves as partners in their business. We align our work with their business objectives and we participate proactively with their team. In exchange, our clients provide us the access we need and help support that partnership by sharing information openly and working with us on the strategies.
Transparency & Trust: We are open with our clients and we share pitches, releases, media databases, outreach progress, and journalist feedback. At Various & Co we believe that we are more than an excel file of journalist names. We bring the creative ideation, the thoughtful strategy, the unique perspective to make something work. We share openly with our clients and we trust them to let us be the experts and do our jobs and to rely on our experience and successful track record.
Honesty & Respect: Our clients don’t hire us to say “YES”. They hire us because we have an eye for great stories. Because we can deliver results. It is our job to provide respectful honest and candid (and tactful and professional) feedback on story ideas, strategies, and goals. By sharing accurate feedback on PR efforts, we ensure everyone has the best chance of success and everyone on the team is required to do this.
