Describe the project or task Walker Sands helped with:

Walker Sands has been my public relations agency for the past two and a half years across two different companies, managing media relations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Walker Sands?

The Walker Sands team is always ready to help and keep pace with the speed of our business. The answer is never "no", it's "let's figure out how to do that." They also take feedback well. When onboarding a new agency at a new company, the biggest challenge is learning the tone of the new company. WS has done this twice, for two completely different companies.

While they are subject matter experts in everything they do, when tasked with something that exceeds their wheelhouse, they are extremely honest and genuine in their approach. Always helping to find solutions to ensure the client receives the best outcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Walker Sands?

Nothing comes to mind. N/A should be an option for this question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Walker Sands helped with:

InterCall (now West UCS) relied upon PR to maintain its online presence in the highly-competitive conferencing services sector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Walker Sands?

The account team is rock solid and any new members come in already knowledgeable about the space. This maintains continuity but keeps a fresh input of creative ideas. Reporting metrics and dashboard are valuable for internal distribution to senior leadership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Walker Sands?

Nothing really. They are a responsive and low-ego team that supports our efforts and actively offer suggestions rather than waiting for orders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Walker Sands:

Walker Sands has the bandwidth to support a wide range of communications skills. We only used their PR group but I would recommend consolidating other ancillary services if the scope requires it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Walker Sands helped with:

Walker Sands helped us create a strategy, creative visual identity and messaging matrix for a major product offering that we are taking to market. THe project represented a challenging aggregation of messaging from across a large area of our practice that required messaging consolidation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Walker Sands?

Walker Sands took a very methodical approach, interviewing countless contacts within our business to gain a comprehensive understanding to enable a successful delivery of the project. i appreciated their up front honestly in the scope of work document, the weekly (or more frequent) checkpoint meetings and the commitment to a level of detail that was fundamentally required for our project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Walker Sands?

the process perhaps took a little longer than we had originally hoped and scoped for however this was due to a mutually agreed upon expansion of scope rather than a shortcoming on anyone's part. i am confident that if our timelines were less flexible at the time that we would have tracked to it without issue.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Walker Sands?

The best part about the Walker Sands team is they act as an extension of our in-house marketing team. They are always eager to help on projects outside of the scope and offering ways to expand our relationship to compliment our existing initiatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Walker Sands?

At times I wish I had more hours in our retainer, but outside of that nothing of note. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Walker Sands helped with:

Ongoing public relations - mainly media outreach Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Walker Sands?

Great understanding of PR metrics and how to present these metrics, something many PR agencies have difficulty showing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Walker Sands?

Seem a little myopic with byline opps, when asked to provide something outside of the usual byline opportunity, but still within PR scope, they seem to struggle with execution a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Walker Sands:

A couple of items that were requests weren't completed to task, whether WS team didn't understand or disagreed with direction was not very clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We partnered with WS on an effort that included traditional PR, digital and content. The team was amazing, always went above and beyond, and consistently delivered above our expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Walker Sands?

The team was definitely the best part. They were smart, attentive and delivered in alignment with our goals and objectives. It was a partnership in all respects and the WS team was like an extension of our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took a bit to get their team up to speed on our messaging, value props, etc. but I think that is to be expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
