Prosek Partners growth playbook

Diagnosis

Prosek (500+ employees, 2026 Global Agency of the Year) is growing into new practices and places: healthcare, private markets and legal communications leaders, a San Francisco office, Abu Dhabi and London hires, a fast-growing digital team, and a Director of Content Strategy to turn content into a growth driver.

Its own site lags that strategy: the new practices have no pages, the new office pages are empty, case-study pages are unfinished, the flagship report is an ungated PDF and the homepage is slow on phones.

This playbook builds practice pages, office pages and proof first, then uses Prosek's own services (AI-search audits, research, executive social, convening) to give each new practice its own pipeline.

Growth Score

6/10

Biggest Opportunity

Give each practice Prosek is hiring for a page, proof and a research hook, so the new senior hires inherit a pipeline instead of building one from scratch.

Biggest Risk

Larger rivals such as FGS Global and specialists such as Dukas Linden and Haven Tower compete for the same financial clients; if Prosek's own site shows less than it sells, senior buyers will shortlist firms that show more.

The three moves to make first. Each one is written up in full below.

  1. 1

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    Prosek is hiring a VP for its "growing Healthcare practice", private markets staff at three levels, and an SVP/MD to "lead and grow our work with law firms". None of the three has a page on prosek.com: /our-expertise/healthcare/ and /our-expertise/private-markets/ return 404, and healthcare, law firms, technology and infrastructure exist only as paragraphs on the About page. A general counsel or healthcare CEO who searches "healthcare communications firm" or "law firm PR agency" finds nothing to land on, and the new leaders will have no page to send prospects to.

    Smallest test

    Publish the Healthcare page and track enquiries for 30 days.

    Why it works

    Run the first content audit and gap analysis the new Director of Content Strategy is hired for on Prosek itself. Build one page per practice the firm is investing in (Healthcare, Private Markets, Legal + Professional Services, then Technology and Infrastructure & Energy), each with: who it serves (the lists already on the About page), the problems it solves, two or three results or Prophecy work examples, the practice leads, related Unboxed Thoughts posts and a contact form routed to that practice. Add them to the expertise menu.

    Senior buyers check a firm's site before taking a call, and sector pages are what search engines and AI assistants match to "healthcare PR firm" questions. The new hires get a front door on day one.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Client confidentiality limits proof

      Use anonymised results and published work.

    • Pages go stale

      Each practice lead owns a quarterly refresh.

    Smallest test

    Publish the San Francisco page this week.

    Why it works

    Give every office page an address and map, the local lead, the team, the practices served from that office (for San Francisco, "finance, technology, AI and private markets"), local news and events, and a contact form routed to that office. Add LocalBusiness structured data.

    Office pages rank for "PR firm San Francisco" and "communications agency Abu Dhabi" and tell local prospects the office is real and staffed.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Team changes

      Pull team members from the people directory.

    Evidence

  • 03

    The case-studies sitemap lists two pages under /our-expertise/case-studies/ whose copy was never finished, while the 13 Prophecy work pages (ICE, NYSE, Booz Allen Hamilton) are strong. The PR + Communications page, Prosek's core offer, shows capabilities but no result.

    Smallest test

    Add one result to the PR + Communications page.

    Why it works

    Replace the two unfinished pages with real case studies (or remove them from the sitemap), and add a results block to every expertise page: one client problem, what Prosek did, the outcome. Reuse award entries for content.

    Proof on the page is what turns a capability list into a shortlist; award entries already contain the story and numbers.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Clients decline to be named

      Describe the client by sector and size.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteCase studies: the case-studies sitemap lists two pages under /our-expertise/case-studies/ (from 2023) whose body copy is unfinished placeholder text; the 13 Prophecy work pages (ICE, NYSE, Booz Allen Hamilton, Neuberger and others) are complete. The PR + Communications page lists capabilities but shows no client result.Source
    • HiringVice President, Client Relations Lead, Prophecy: "Identifying opportunities to expand existing client relationships while contributing to new business efforts, proposals, pitches, and broader agency growth initiatives"; "Overseeing account profitability". Every Prosek post says it was "named a 2026 Global Agency of the Year by PRovoke Media".Source

    The homepage says "Creating impact where brand and capital meet" and "Fully integrated under one P&L", but the meta description search results show is generic ("For over thirty years, Prosek has been out ahead..."), and the title says only "communications + marketing firm".

    Why it works

    Search snippets are the first pitch; a specific one lifts clicks and helps AI summaries describe Prosek correctly.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Lower click-through

    Offer the audit to three existing clients.

    Why it works

    Create a fixed-scope "Content Audit and Strategy" offer: four weeks, audit, audience journey, editorial architecture and a 90-day calendar, at a set fee. Publish a page with the method, a sample deliverable and two results, and use it as an entry offer that leads to retainers.

    A named, priced entry offer shortens the sale for new clients and gives the practice a pipeline to measure.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Smallest test

    Pilot with 30 firms.

    Why it works

    Score 200 asset managers, banks and PE firms each year on media, social and AI-search perception, relate it to fundraising and flows, and publish the ranking with sector cuts and a private benchmark for each firm.

    An owned index makes Prosek the reference on financial brand, and every firm scored is a prospect.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Methodology challenged

      Publish the method openly.
