Influence clients? You ever tried to get a large construction company to spend even more money on something they never wanted to spend any money on in the first place? Just pisses them off and they go elsewhere next time. Only works if they're already under the public microscope - that Ladybridge link that BAJR put up a while ago is a good example, huge amount of PR for, frankly, almost zero archaeology, just so they can be seen to be operating above-board (not that there's any real suggestion that they weren't anyway)
