Ask your PR firm these questions for best results

How to use the 'feedback sandwich' with your PR firm and marketing department

Your team runs on communication, so it needs to be clear, kind, and constructive. In fast-paced environments like public relations and marketing, the way you give feedback can make or break your culture. One simple but powerful tool to improve workplace communication is the "feedback sandwich."

 

It’s a method that delivers direct, honest feedback between two layers of encouragement. By starting and ending with support, you create a space where your team feels safe, valued, and more open to growth. When feedback feels good, people are more likely to listen and actually improve.

The compounding ROI of public relations

Public relations isn’t a one-and-done tactic. It’s not a news release. It’s not a campaign. And it’s definitely not a short-term fix. 

 

PR is a long-term business strategy that builds your brand’s reputation, credibility, and industry influence over time. Like compounding interest, the return grows bigger the longer you stay invested.

 

At Axia Public Relations, we’ve worked with hundreds of brands over the past 20-plus years — and the clients who see the biggest impact are those who stick with PR for years, not weeks or months.

Positioning over spin: Trust-building in PR

In public relations, the word "spin" often has negative connotations. It's like calling a story a tall tale — something not entirely truthful or authentic. When PR professionals say "spin," they're usually referring to the act of twisting information to mislead audiences rather than inform them transparently.

Who is the 'public' in public relations?

Public relations might sound vague, but it's really about creating positive connections between your brand and its audience. Think of PR as a bridge that helps ideas, feelings, and messages travel from one side to the other. The audience on the other side — they’re the "public" in PR. Understanding who they are, what they want, and how they think is key to effective communication, and it gives PR professionals a strong foundation to build upon.

To set up your brand for success during a PR agency change, it’s essential to ask the right questions and request the right materials.
