In the past, it was believed that all PR was good PR. Although most publicists know this is not true, it’s becoming more evident when you look at people like Donald Trump, James Deen, Martin Shkreli and others.
But what if the bad PR you’re getting is actually your publicist? Yes, choosing the wrong publicist can hurt and/or ruin your career.
Over the last few years, people have thought anyone can do PR, and have opened agencies with either no adult experience, no PR experience, or both. This has proved costly to their clients who have been ripped off and have gotten nothing for their money, or their careers and reputations have been hurt by people not taking them seriously, due to whom they have chosen to represent them.
There are several PR companies in adult and most are reputable. But, choose wisely–your career and success depend on it!
Here are some red flags to look for:
They claim more girls are on their roster than they really have.
Writing one or two press releases for someone doesn’t make you their publicist. And, being listed as someone’s PR in a ton of girls’ Twitter profiles doesn’t make a company more legit.
News sources won’t run their press releases and/or have to fix them before they post them.
If you want people to take you seriously, you have to have someone working for you with a stellar rep who can actually write a press release. We write all of our press releases. We never farm them out.
They spend their days on social media getting friendly with the girls instead of actually working.
We work hard for our clients, and usually 7 days a week. We’re not fan boys looking to get laid or up our status by saying we know this girl or that girl. We’re about business and doing as much as we can for our clients.
They give away free or discounted PR to up their roster.
We never give away anything–we work too hard and produce results. Our clients find they work more because their name is out there, so they can afford our services. We offer extremely reasonable rates and do more than most companies.
Their clients don’t get nominations or wins
Our clients win AVN and XBIZ Awards every year. This year, Ryan Driller won Male Performer of the Year and Archangel won Best New Studio. And, that was just a few of our client wins.
Their coverage is spotty.
You see our clients EVERYWHERE from press releases to interviews on adult and mainstream.
If you’re looking for excellent PR, we can help you with that. If we don’t feel we’d be a good fit for you, we can recommend another PR agency for you. Want to know more? Hit us up at info@therubpr.com.
