PR is certainly not a little-known-secret these days, and has proven itself to be an integral and beneficial component of business growth and maintenance plans. Although it may seem like a substantial investment, PR is designed to help build a valuable relationship between a brand and their publics. Once incorporated, you can learn the ways to benchmark and measure the success of PR. And when you begin embracing metrics and experiencing how PR can garner success, it will be evident as to why PR is a quintessential investment to your business.
Here at Agent99, we are passionate and confident in the results and business impact we deliver, as we understand the complete anatomy of PR. We explore the trends, strategies and effective communications that will enable our clients to achieve their business goals.
However, we believe that the best way to demonstrate success to you, is to show you the results, instead of just telling you about them! Here are two of our clients’ experiences with Agent99 and how PR benefited their brand:

Winning Moves gave Agent99 a brief to create a custom board game that would appeal to consumers during a turbulent COVID-19 market. In response, Winning Moves and Agent99 decided to create a unique Monopoly Board and Puzzle that would highlight 22 Australian communities that had been impacted by the Bushfires, Floods and COVID-19. Agent99’s overarching macro-strategy maximized the positive local news stories for communities that the game generated, and integrated this with earned national mass media, paid partnerships and community engagement tactics to create enthusiasm amongst consumers. Ultimately, the campaign aimed to engage local and national retailers, drive awareness and sales for the brand and finally, help give back to the community by raising funds through sales for The Australian Red Cross.
In total, Agent99 were able to secure 213+ pieces of media coverage, with a combined reach of over 125 million consumers. Winning Moves saw an incredible triple digit growth on anticipated sales, and retailers were getting in touch within a week of launch to ask for additional stock.
“The Australian Community Relief Monopoly has been one of our most successful product launches in Australia for Winning Moves, thanks to Agent99. For a small marketing budget, the team truly went above and beyond, surpassing all expectations and demonstrating that clever PR-led ideation can have demonstrable business impact. Through their campaign, we were able to exceed all of our sales projections, which went on to help us secure new retailer opportunities and inspire other global markets. Most importantly however, Agent99 helped us make a positive impact on Australian communities during a very turbulent time.” Charlotte Waalkens, Marketing Manager at Winning Moves
