We provide services in every aspect of communications, and we work with companies of every size and industry. Please click on the services listed below to read about our engagements over the years and gain an understanding of the variety and range of our professional services.
We customize our services to meet the unique needs of each client; therefore, we are unable to offer pre-packaged services and estimates. Please contact us to schedule a meeting to discuss your needs. We work with clients on a project basis or by providing full-service, ongoing involvement.
HOW WE WORK
For many projects, we work on a fixed-price basis. We begin each project by carefully evaluating the needs of the client. This means both parties agree on the problem, the solutions, what will be delivered, and at what price.
These fixed price (project billing) agreements work best when the project has clear definition and scope, both in deliverables and project time period.
If the situation is such that this is not possible, we bill time and materials. Depending on the expertise needed and staff and time involved, standard hourly fees range from $50.00 per hour to $150.00 per hour. Retainer programs are available for the best value. When there are pass-through expenses, we strive to secure the best prices and discounts available, as is appropriate for the deliverable. We will frequently instruct vendors to bill clients directly to avoid the additional fees required to pass charges through PHPR's account.
During engagements, it is not uncommon for us to see additional opportunities to help clients reach their goals. We then may make recommendations for additional scope.
Paige Hendricks Public Relations provides counsel to a diverse group of clients. We look forward to opportunities to provide these services to you. Public relations counseling firms provide external perspective, recommend action, and execute programs that strengthen relationships of organizations and individuals with their most important constituencies. In providing these consulting services, public relations firms concentrate on helping clients create, build, and protect their reputation, a most important asset.
Fundamental to a good name is the understanding and support of stakeholders such as customers, employees, shareholders, or communities. To help achieve that understanding and support, public relations counselors advise clients and work with them on marketing communications, employee information, investor relations, media, public affairs, and other programs that directly impact how they are perceived by their most important constituents. Public relations counselors are most effective when they advise management on important decisions before those decisions are made.
In performing an important business management role, public relations counselors frequently provide these types of professional services:
An experienced mechanic once repaired a machine with one sharp tap of his hammer. His customer, shocked when asked to pay $150, requested an invoice detailing the charge.

Proposal Writing and Support
Applied Geographic Technologies
1990 - 2000
Proposal Writing and Support
Founded by a principal of JB Davies, Inc., AGT was one of the first U.S. enterprises to develop and implement GIS for municipalities ranging in size from 50,000 to 2.5 million citizens. PHPR worked on public information and communications projects directed at businesses and other city service element aspects in Fulton County, Georgia regarding wastewater and stormwater when GIS was implemented there in the early 1990s. PHPR also assisted AGT in establishing a business relationship with Dallas Fort Worth International Airport: we provided public information and other educational support materials around the development of a GIS system for DFW Airport, an effort in which AGT was a significant partner.
Additionally, PHPR researched, wrote, edited, and published a series of newsletters explaining the value of GIS, especially as it related to stormwater issues. We provided presentation support for numerous information conveyance opportunities in municipalities across Texas. PHPR also developed and wrote thought-leadership papers about wastewater and stormwater utilities concerns for the company.
PHPR was a consultant with AGT until the firm was sold.
