For clients looking for continuity and on-call strategic and communication
advice, we provide services on a retainer basis. Otherwise, we charge a one-off
fee for specific projects.
A press release might only require half a day’s
research and a limited distribution – say $550 to $1,100 in total, GST
inclusive.
Or it might require a video news release, a press
conference with two ministers and an international distribution and a $10,000 to
$15,000 budget.
A media campaign for a small international conference
would start from $10,000. But a comprehensive campaign such as running the media
for the International Genetics Congress could require in the order of $60,000.
We’re happy to share our knowledge and skills. We want to
see a more vibrant exchange between science organisations and the public.
You
can engage us to brain storm with your scientists or your existing public
relations and media team on a casual basis.
The bottom line: it’s probably a lot less than you’re
already spending on corporate public relations and investor relations. We’re
specialists – passionate about science – we don’t try to cover everything else.
We’re running with the low infrastructure costs (no city office), and
subcontract out, so we can work with some of the best people in science
communication.
