Success criteria and what we measure

We use SMARTER objectives (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Timely, Ethical, Recorded) and report monthly/quarterly/annually (SMARTER objectives; Measurement cadence). Typical KPIs include:

Engagement model and investment

• Trial-first, value-focused: Axia begins with a four‑month trial based on an agreed investment; no hourly billing and no traditional retainers during this phase (PR cost & trial model; Why not hourly)

• Typical monthly investments: $5,000 for local/single‑audience programs; $10,000–$30,000+ for comprehensive national programs (Cost ranges)

• Long‑term options: many clients continue on annual agreements after the trial when value is proven (FAQ)

Proof of performance (selected outcomes)

• Dave & Buster’s: second‑highest opening‑day sales in 31‑year history at PCB location, driven by Axia PR strategy (Case detail)

• IT WORKS!: 900+ media outlets; 2.1 billion consumers reached in 12 months (Case study)

• National mortgage broker: reversed $20,000/day losses; 1,200% revenue growth through reputation repair (Media relations results)

• Sanidoor launch: 5M+ impressions; $1M+ distributor sales from coverage (Sanidoor case)

Who is not a fit

• Competitors within an existing client’s industry where a conflict of interest would arise (Axia avoids representing competing firms) — see our stated stance in company materials

• Organizations seeking guaranteed or pay‑to‑play “coverage,” or advertorials disguised as news (Guarantees & ethics; Advertorials are unethical)

• Teams expecting overnight results; meaningful PR outcomes typically require 90–180+ days to gain traction (When to change PR firms—timelines)

• Leaders unwilling to participate as sources/spokespeople or to share required data for measurement (Working effectively with your PR firm)

• Organizations that resist transparent, ethical conduct in reviews, crisis response, or media engagement (Ethical reviews)
