I have been courting several different public relations agencies to do publicity for my new deck of cards. Yet, one company called S99 is a huge scam, and I was almost able to prove this by emailing one of the company’s co-founders, Chris K.
I was a public relations minor in college, and I was a member of PRSA. I emailed Chris a press release with a $500 retainer offer for “proof of concept” before hiring the agency. I have been burned before by services that advertise getting your press releases in the newspapers and other media, yet just steal your dough and do not deliver anything. Such companies will keep taking your money as long as you are stupid enough to keep giving it to them. People like Tony Curtis’s character in The Sweet Smell of Success come to mind.
I have planned several media/marketing campaigns over the years and know I need to hire some high-caliber agency people for this one. Please email me if anyone has an agency or PR person they recommend. My next meeting is with Artsy Shark.
