Our PR Survey Process
Our team of senior market research executives has helped organizations across the country grab the attention of top-tier media outlets with original research. Drive Research delivers data in 24 to 72 hours, not weeks. Our approach to custom PR surveys is based on years of streamlined research to provide actionable feedback as soon as possible.
This is the 4-step process our PR survey company follows to turn your survey into a national story.
Step 1: Writing a custom PR survey
Third-party PR surveys eliminate the boundaries of how to ask questions. Our online survey agency drafts custom questions to find the right newsworthy hook or headline.
We find creative ways to ask questions to gather results that can be utilized and shared. After approval of the survey, our team moves forward with programming and testing for quality assurance.
Step 2: Reporting the results in minutes, not weeks
Next, we field the public relations survey to targeted and quality respondents – whether this is a regional, national, or demographic-specific audience.
Watch as responses start flooding in with our live dashboard portal. Your team will have access to up-to-the-second results with full exporting capabilities.
Step 3: Interpreting the data for winning headlines
Once fieldwork is complete, our team of experienced PR professionals writes a headline-driven press release that showcases the most critical pieces of your study.
Our public relations market research company follows all data integrity protocols to ensure the responses covered in your content deliverables are valid and trustworthy.

Why are surveys important for public relations?
PR surveys are helpful for public relations and communications professionals because they provide unique insights that help media pitches stand out. Exclusive research is rated as the top characteristic when publishers describe their perfect piece of content.
What is the sample size for PR surveys?
To be statistically reliable, a sample size of 1,000 responses is considered the gold standard. However, the more responses you collect, the more credible the data appears in the eyes of media outlets and readers. Sample sizes for niche business audiences or decision-makers can often be smaller.
How much does a PR survey cost?
The cost of a public relations survey varies based on respondent criteria, survey length, and the goal number of responses. Generally, you will want a minimum budget of $8,000 to $40,000 for a survey using a market research firm. Packages vary significantly depending on your audience, timeline, reporting options, and deliverables. There may be options to lower the cost.
Will a PR survey guarantee press coverage?
There is no 100% guarantee that PR market research will earn your organization press coverage. By working with a PR polling company, you stand the best chance by leveraging their experience, best practices, and understanding of headline-driven question design. These firms have access to more reporters and experience executing studies that drive media attention and views.
