Fees You Can Trust.
We believe in clarity and fairness from the start. As a marketing or PR professional, you need to plan and budget confidently, so we make that easy. We work on fixed monthly retainers, not time sheets. You’re paying for positive outcomes, not hours.
Focused on Impact and Reputation
Everything we do is focused on achieving impactful, strategic editorial that builds, maintains and protects corporate reputation. It’s all part of driving commercial success and inspiring positive action.
Scalable PR Retainers.
Our entry-level monthly retainer for a proactive press office service starts in the region of £4,000 per month. This covers a steady, strategic flow of highly targeted editorial driving activity, which includes a bespoke daily mix of:
News stories - natural news and news generation
Feature articles - advance editorial placements
Executive profiles - Q&As, media briefings and interviews
Product and service reviews - trials, tests and buyer guides
Expert opinion - proactive and reactive market commentary
Success story and case study placements
Our core press office service is designed to keep your brand visible, relevant and credible – being seen in the right places, for the right reasons, by the right people.
Building on the Foundations.
Expand the PR mix to include additional elements such as: thought leadership, brand partnerships, award programmes and speaker engagements, and the investment typically rises to +£6,000 per month depending upon scope.
Beyond that, we quote separately for specific campaigns such as product launches, press events, media tours, analyst programmes and ad-hoc projects - always tightly aligned with your commercial goals.
Transparent, Predictable and Fair.
Mandate is one of the few PR agencies to share its fee structure openly. We’re also unique because we don’t do time sheets, and we offer greater financial flexibility.
There are no hidden costs or surprise invoices. Each month, you’ll receive a clear, itemised summary of what’s been delivered and what’s next. Our monthly reporting aligns clearly with the agreed services and programme budget. Any additional costs and disbursements are always agreed in advance.
Because we’re 100% independent and owner-managed, we’re also more flexible – offering scalable fees to support your growth. This includes things like discounts for longer-term commitments and weekly payment options to help smooth your cash flow.
Our Fee Philosophy.
Our fee model reflects our business philosophy: transparency builds trust. Trust creates the long-term partnerships that make PR genuinely powerful.
