It enables choices and execution. It is also a cleaver way of generating leads. Very well done. The questions this generates are about brand clout of the big PR firms to get coverage in media. In order to go with the pay-for-performance (PFP), the end results have to be shown to be equally effective. If savings result from PFP non performance, the cost of lost time might be fatal to the business. Proof of performance is essential!
