Now updated with thoughts from @sparklypinchy.bsky.social and @darrylsparey.bsky.social.

Think we've got something fairly useful here - again, unbranded, so whether in-house or agency/consultant, think you might find it useful if you don't already have something similar.

Great shout on the spokesperson/people point, thank you. I've added to the 'tips' section RE decision maker(s), incorporating your thoughts mate.

What do agencies REALLY need to give you the proposal you deserve?

It's not always obvious, so I've created this free agency briefing template for companies looking for a PR partner - I guarantee this template gets you better proposals.

Anything missing?
