The public relations profession has grown over 220 percent in the last decade, according to Kathy Cripps, President of the Council of Public Relations Firms. But PR is more than sending press releases. Public relations professionals know how to make pitches about their product — you — to the people who count.

Here are some key things you should know about hiring PR firms for the entertainment industry:

1. The entertainment industry involves many facets both behind the camera and in front of the camera. Know your strengths and where you would fit in best.

2. In no other industry is who you know as important as in the entertainment industry. Public relations agencies for entertainment should know the right people.

3. Determine your objectives and the audiences you want to reach. List desired outcome in measurable terms.

Target your PR agency search

Search through databases for public relations for the entertainment industry. PR agencies range from one-person operations to large corporations in a variety of locations. Begin weeding out candidates until you have four to five agencies. Look at company descriptions and activities to learn if they have the right expertise. All entertainment public relations agencies should have a website to provide you with additional information.

Set up interviews and/or presentations

Meet face-to-face with each of these PR firms for the entertainment industry. Choose whether to ask for a presentation from the agency or whether you prefer a more informal interview. Hold the initial meeting at the office so that you can get a sense of business operations, including how personnel interact with one another. Find out about agency experience, references and costs.
