In my experience, Walker Sands is adept at everything they've helped us with on the PR front. The important thing to remember is that you need to make the time to work with them. They would do a great job on their own, but I believe we've achieved success because we've worked together like partners. While they can handle the heavy PR lifting, it's important to make time to build the relationship and offer your own SME feeback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
