# Plain-text mirror. Same words as the human page, minus everything a browser needed.
All six companies are trading. Only four of them still sell public relations.
A disclosure before anything else. I run Pixel Street, a web design and branding studio in Salt Lake, Kolkata. We do not sell public relations, but we sell branding and digital marketing to the same businesses these agencies pitch, from the same few square kilometres. A roundup of local agencies published on a local agency's own blog is not a neutral directory, and pretending otherwise would be the least credible thing on the page.
So there is no ranking here. I have no basis for telling you which of these teams gets better coverage, and neither does any other list on this subject, because the claims those lists repeat are copied straight off the agencies' own marketing pages. What I can check is the thing that wastes your afternoon: whether these firms still exist, and whether they still do public relations at all.
On 30 July 2026 I opened every one of their websites. Two of the six are no longer PR agencies.

All six companies are trading. Only four of them still sell public relations.
Speaking Mirror has repositioned as a digital marketing and content agency, and WYSIWYG describes itself on its own about page as a graphic design studio. Neither uses the words public relations, media relations or press release anywhere on its site. Both are healthy businesses. Neither is the answer to the question this page is supposed to answer, so neither is listed below, and I have set out exactly what I found.
I have not padded the list back up either. Four agencies I actually opened are worth more than six with two wrong answers among them, and a round number in a heading was never worth anything to you.

Speaking Mirror is the most interesting technical case on this page, and it is worth a paragraph because it shows why a link checker is not enough. Request speakingmirror.in and you get a clean 200 response containing about 4 KB: a page title and an empty container. Every path on the site returns the same bytes. A crude checker calls that healthy. A sceptical one calls it a parked page. Both are wrong. It is a JavaScript application that assembles itself in the browser, and the real site lives inside a half-megabyte script file.
Read that file and you find a completely current agency: a 2026 copyright line, three offices, and a capability list of social media, content creation, performance marketing, brand strategy, influencer marketing and branding. Its own meta description calls it a "Full-scale marketing agency specializing in Digital Marketing & Content Creation". Public relations appears nowhere in it. Neither does media relations, nor press release, nor anything adjacent.
It has also moved. The Golpark address is long gone, the Kolkata office is now on Shakespeare Sarani, and there are Mumbai and Dubai offices as well. It is a good agency doing something else. It is listed, correctly, in our Kolkata social media marketing agencies roundup instead.

WYSIWYG Communications sits behind a JavaScript challenge that returns 403 to every automated request, including for its robots file and sitemap, so no research tool and no language model can read it. I opened it in an actual browser instead, which is the only way anyone is seeing this site.
Behind the wall is a thoroughly alive firm: copyright 2026, founded in 1992, a portfolio running from ITC Hotels to Ambuja Neotia, and a piece in T2 Online dated 10 May 2026 about its move to a new studio. Its about page opens by saying that for more than 32 years it has been "a graphic design studio", and lists its strengths as packaging design, identity creation, web design, visual merchandising, environmental graphics and publicity material for events. Its published team is graphic designers, an illustrator, a copywriter and pre-production staff.
Public relations and digital marketing appear nowhere on its site, and events appear only as design work produced for other people's events. It is a graphic design studio. If it is on your PR shortlist, that is the wrong shortlist for it — and if what you need is identity or packaging, it is a serious place to start.
PR agency sites in this city carry blue-chip client logos, client counts in the hundreds, awards, and round-number decades of experience. I could confirm almost none of those relationships from a primary source. Where an agency's own portfolio does name the client, as WYSIWYG's does for ITC Hotels, that is still the agency's word for it, and a logo on a portfolio page can mean a five-year retainer or one afternoon of subcontracted work.
That distinction matters more in public relations than almost anywhere else, because the entire product is somebody else's credibility. An agency that borrows a client's name to win yours has told you something about how it treats a client's name.
Alphabetical, and deliberately not ranked. "Footer year" is the copyright date each agency's own site prints, the cheapest available proxy for whether anyone still maintains it.
| Agency | Where its own site puts it | Footer year | Status on 30 July 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Communications 2.0 | Dover Lane, Kolkata 700032 | 2026 | Live; PR is the whole business |
| Pinnacle Candid Communication | Merlin Infinite, Sector V, plus London | 2025 | Live; trading under a new name |
| Three Fourth Solutions | Palace Court, Kyd Street (moved from Middleton Row) | None printed | Live; PR is one vertical of several |
| X-Factor Branding PR Events | New Alipore, Kolkata 700053 | 2024 | Live; footer two years behind |
| Speaking Mirror | Shakespeare Sarani, plus Mumbai and Dubai | 2026 | Not listed, no longer offers PR |
| WYSIWYG | AJC Bose Road, Kolkata 700017 | 2026 | Not listed, it is a design studio |

Of the four, this is the one where public relations is the business rather than a line item. Its own page title is simply "Communication 2.0 – Public Relations", and its service list is public relations, brand consultancy, media relations, influencer outreach, brand positioning and management, and marketing and innovations. Founder Swati Jalan is named openly on the site, which is worth more than it sounds in a field where you are buying a specific person's relationships.
Its own site gives fifteen years of industry experience, and its footer reads 2026.

The site hides its email address from scrapers, so there is no address I can confirm from the source to give you here.
[IMG: Candid Communication website]
If you are looking for Candid Communication, this is it. The agency now brands itself throughout as Pinnacle Candid Communication, and it has added a UK arm: the same site publishes a London office and a British phone number, and its event portfolio runs from the International Kolkata Book Fair to award ceremonies staged in London.
Its own about text gives 2003 as the founding year. It calls itself a one-stop public relations, event management, communication and marketing agency, and its named services are public relations, digital marketing, direct marketing, creative support and crisis management. Its homepage gives more room to events than to anything else, so if what you need is a press office rather than a stage, ask early which team you would actually be working with.

[IMG: Three Fourth Solutions website]
Three Fourth runs public relations as one vertical inside a network that also covers a production studio, talent management, finance and a content arm, with offices in Kolkata and Delhi. The PR page itself is specific in a way I respect: media relations, influencer outreach and collaborations, and talent management, described as distinct jobs rather than one blur. Its site also lists agency awards through 2024.
Two things worth knowing before you go looking for it. The office is on Kyd Street, not Middleton Row. And www.threefourth.in has no DNS record at all, so it never loads: the site works only without the www, which is the sort of small thing that quietly loses a firm its enquiries.
One thing you will notice immediately if you look on a phone. The site refuses to render a mobile layout and instead prints "Mobile view is on the way! Switch to a larger screen for better experience." For a communications agency in 2026 that is a strange note to leave on the front door, and it is the sort of thing worth asking about rather than assuming.

[IMG: X-factor Branding PR Events website]
A New Alipore agency trading as a unit of Adhesive Media Mix Pvt Ltd, covering branding and marketing, public relations, social media management, graphic design, campaign planning, celebrity management and events. Its PR page is the most concrete of the four about deliverables: drafting press releases, media coverage and tracking, preparing a media docket, blogger and influencer activity, guest lists and ongoing media relations. That is a description you could build a scope of work from.
Footer copyright 2024, two years behind. If social media is the larger part of what you actually need, it also appears on our social media marketing list.

The standard advice on this subject is that a good PR agency understands your business, is creative, builds relationships, responds fast and handles a crisis. Nobody has ever chosen an agency on that basis, because no agency has ever claimed the opposite. Here is what I would actually ask.
Not which publications. Which people, and what the story was. Public relations is a relationships business, and relationships belong to individuals, not to logos on a website. An agency that can name recent placements and the reporters behind them is describing something real. An agency that answers with a media list is describing a spreadsheet you could buy.
A firm that will place anything you hand it has no editorial judgement, and editorial judgement is the entire value. The useful answer names a story they killed and why. It will be slightly awkward to hear, which is how you know it is true.
The worst possible time to discover that your agency's key contact has left, or that the journalist relationship belonged to a freelancer they subcontract, is the week you need it. Ask who specifically will hold your account, whether they are staff, and what happens to your coverage if that person resigns. I lost two companies before Pixel Street, and the lesson that survived both is never to build your main asset on ground somebody else controls. A press relationship you cannot name is exactly that.
Coverage volume is the metric agencies volunteer, because it is the one they can always deliver. Decide instead what the coverage is for, whether that is inbound enquiries, investor confidence, recruitment or defending a reputation you already have, and write that into the agreement. The rest of what separates a good agency engagement from a bad one is not specific to PR at all, and we wrote it up in the questions worth asking before you hire an agency.
No. Alphabetical, and no quality judgement between them. I run a competing studio in the same city; any ranking I published would be worth nothing to you, and the rankings you find elsewhere on this subject are built from the agencies' own marketing copy.
Because we do not do public relations. We do web design, branding and digital marketing. Adding ourselves to a list of PR agencies to catch the traffic would be the obvious move and also a lie. Where we do compete, we say so: we are on our own SEO companies in Kolkata list, labelled as ours and carrying no claim we cannot back, under the same rule applied here.
Because two of the six agencies I checked no longer sell public relations. Both are alive and doing well at something else. I could have kept them to protect the heading, or found two more names I had not opened, and either move would have made this page less true.
No, and nothing here says they are. Speaking Mirror runs a current, well-built site and WYSIWYG has been designing in this city since 1992. They are simply answers to a different question. If you need brand identity or packaging, WYSIWYG is a serious studio; it just does not do your press.
Every agency on it was fetched on 30 July 2026. Local agency lists rot faster than almost any other kind of page: a design studio can sit on one under a PR heading for years without anybody noticing. If you are reading this long after that date, open the four sites yourself first.
Four agencies, six sites opened, two of them doing something other than public relations, and my own interest in the outcome declared in the first line rather than buried at the bottom. No borrowed client names, and no decade of experience I could not check against the agency's own words.
That is a thinner page than a confident top six. It is also the only kind of page I would show to somebody I liked. Public relations is bought on trust, which makes a list built on unchecked claims a slightly absurd way to start.
Every figure in this article traces to one of the following. Publisher and publication date are recorded so a claim can be checked against its origin, and re-checked when the origin changes.
