Why You Need to Hire Help to Scale Your PR Agency and Boost Revenue

Oct 24, 2024

As a PR agency owner, it can be tempting to do it all yourself. Maybe you think you’re saving money by handling every single task or that no one can do the job as well as you can. But here’s the truth: if you want to scale your business and grow your revenue, you need to hire help!

Picture this: you spend two hours designing something on Canva that could’ve taken a professional graphic designer half the time. Sure, you didn’t have to pay someone to do it, but at what cost? How much is two hours of your time really worth? Those hours could’ve been spent landing new clients or working on high-level strategy — the things that actually grow your business.

When you do everything yourself, you’re stretching yourself too thin. As a result, you’re left with no time to focus on the tasks that really matter. This is why many PR agency owners find themselves stuck at a certain level, unable to grow past a point.

In order to hire help and scale your agency, you have to be able to afford it. That’s why you must charge more for your services. Many agency owners fall into the trap of underpricing themselves because they feel like they’re competing on price. But the truth is, when you price your services based on fear or scarcity, you’re setting yourself up for burnout and frustration.

Profitable agencies know how to charge for the value they bring. You’re not just trading hours for dollars — you’re providing expertise, results, and transformation for your clients. When you price accordingly, you can afford to bring on support and focus on growing your business.

Listen, you don’t need to hire an entire team right off the bat, but it’s important to start somewhere!

It’s easy to fall into a mindset of lack, where hiring someone feels like you’re losing money. But here’s the thing: hiring help frees up your time so you can focus on the high-revenue activities that will actually grow your agency. You’ll be working ON your business, not IN it.

Once you make that shift, you’ll see how freeing it is to have a support system in place. Your time is valuable, and by bringing in help, you can focus on what matters most: growing your PR agency, landing bigger clients, and driving more revenue.


So, if you want to scale your PR agency, stop trying to be a one-woman show. You don’t have to do everything yourself. Hire the right people, charge what you’re worth, and start focusing on what will truly grow your business.
