PR firms put up with having their work copied without permission - until now

Let's say you run a PR firm. Ordinarily you send your press release, white paper or other text to your client for their approval.

Retainer work is hard to come by, which means most of your output is project-based. Or the client expects everything to be covered by the retainer, even if the work you’re doing is significantly out of scope.

The problem is the client might tell you they disapprove it, or even rewrite it, but offer no compensation for the parts of your work they do use.

Worst of all, they might just use your materials without any payment to you at all.

Now with Ideas.Exchange you PitchMark® your Word document, ideally the original document with comprehensive Version History.

You send it to the prospect, along with the PitchMark® certificate.

Now they are on notice that you reserve all rights to your work. If they accept it they can pay for it straight away when you transfer the certificate to the client.
