PR firm offering "Kickstarter Service" to fledgling studios

Kickstarter can be a bit of a minefield for developers if they don't orchestrate their campaign properly, or push out a naff product. San Francisco PR team Indie Developer Consulting has created a package that can help studios get the most out of their crowd-funding efforts.
It's not a free service however, although prices haven't been made public as-yet. Some may argue that the money would be better spent on the campaign itself, but read the list of package features below and judge for yourself.
