Top Public Relations (PR) Agencies in San Diego

As the Executive decision maker for a small business in Denver, I've found that outsourcing SEO duties is imperative, especially when you have made significant changes to your online presence. Social SEO, formerly Pikes Peak SEO has been fantastic to work with. We have seen growth, and significant increases in organic traffic for most of the time we've used Social SEO. We've had several contacts there and all have been very professional. My only reason for not leaving five stars is that in our three or so years of service, we've had four different contacts working on our account. Don't get me wrong, the service is still worth it, and all of the Account Managers have been great, but it is hard to start over with a new contact and explain your business needs, website details, etc to a new person every six months to a year. There was a period of time (with one Account Manager) that nothing really seemed to be happening in terms of our website and feedback. In all honesty, I think that particular contact, though she was always very friendly and professional on the phone, was just too busy to take the time to do a lot with our account. I can tell that Social SEO is growing, as they have movement internally with their staff and have even promoted one of our Account Managers (which is why we no longer work with her). They are obviously doing something right. Our current AM is excellent so far--very responsive, and pays attention to details. Listen people, you're never going to find a perfect SEO vendor, but if you want to gain in organic traffic, conversions, and want a team of people who actually know what they are doing, give these guys a try!

I've been working at Ignite for almost 4 years and it has been an incredible ride of company growth, innovation, challenges and fulfilling to be a part of. - First off I have to say "hats off" to the owners, John and Krish that have handled the current COVID-19 situation with exceptional care. Safety of employees was their #1 concern in addition to being flexible with clients who've greatly affected. The owners did everything from the start to make sure that everyone was able to keep their jobs which made me even prouder of working here. - There is lots of room for growth as many employees get promoted 1-2 times per year with raises and an every expanding bonus structure for all employees. - Constant new innovation continues to improve the sophistication of our work so you are always learning something new. - Management is always hiring an advance so employees handle a reasonable client load vs. other agencies I've worked which expect them to handle 2-3 times the amount of clients. I heard this over and over from our new hires. This also results in our clients getting the work and attention that they deserve. - The owners and management is always looking for feedback on how to keep improving the agency. When any issues arise, it is attended to ASAP. - Flex work hours are great along with work from home days. - A great huge office with lots of perks. (loaded snack bar, amazing coffee machine and tea selection, free lunches 2-3 times per month, shuffleboard and great outside patio) - There is usually a fun event each month whether it's a happy hour, social event, padres game, day at the track, in addition to great holiday and anniversary parties. - Management also does a great job of hiring amazing people that are great to work with. I've seen lots of great friendships develop here over the years. I'm looking forward to seeing many of my co-workers once life gets back to normal after COVID.

I picked Brand and Mortar due to their reputation, reliability and known resources in the community. We signed a contract in May of 2021, with my needs heavily outlined of building an extensive website with cutting edge plugins and a custom functionality. After numerous follow-ups, they were confident they could meet my needs and we signed. It was extremely pricy, but I knew because of the functionality needed, it was needed. Once the wireframes (website outlines) were approved in October (they looked amazing), it was a contracted 9 weeks until I had my website in hand. I was so beyond ecstatic. Glad I chose Brand and Mortar to create this for us. Well, December rolls around, I want to confirm I will have the website mid January and it's confirmed! My website will be live! Well, they forward the "finished" website and it's a joke. Is is nothing as contracted and then I get told they need more time. So we wait, then the next deadline gets pushed and continues to get pushed. I couldn't wait anymore when I can see they don't have the skills to create when they agreed upon. Up until this point, I've been waiting to hear back from the owner and he won't respond to my emails. The amount I have paid, for this quickly slapped together website is beyond ridiculous. They're communication is severely lacking, the professionalism was there, but slowly dissipated once they received my money. Their marketing background is where they should focus their business when website design is clearly not their expertise yet.

WE ARE HAPPY CUSTOMERS!!! When our nonprofit organization, Big Table, started communicating with (W)right On, we were extremely impressed with Julie. As we were navigating steps to pursue a partnership, Julie listened intently and asked engaging questions about our organization. She did extensive research about us prior to our meeting and gave us valuable information about (W)right On and how they could help our organization promote greater awareness and share our story in San Diego. The (W)right On team produced an extremely thorough proposal with our graphics, services they could provide and highlighted their track record and how they could help our organization. We were impressed! We were eager to start working with the team! The rest of the experience was so encouraging to our organization. We have never worked with a PR firm and we are so happy we found our firm on the first shot! Everyone on the team were a delight to work with. Shae and Licia went above and beyond in all of their efforts! Their communication and sense of compassion was excellent! We were always informed of next steps. They were engaged and we felt their passion for their work and help our organization! We were featured in multiple print publications and were featured on the news several times. To say that our goals were met would be an understatement! Our awareness in San Diego has increased dramatically! Our funding has increased through our awareness and we are constantly getting calls from other media sources that want to share our story now. We are so grateful for Julie, Grant, Licia, Shae and the entire (W)right On team. The investment in working with (W)right On has literally paid for itself. We look forward to working with (W)right On Communications in the future and we HIGHLY recommend them!

Jack Berkman is very easy to work with and he generates results. We had struggled with our public relations efforts in the past, due to a lack of resources. Hiring the team at Berkman Strategic Communications changed that, almost overnight. Jack and his team were able to get us a lot of media exposure (television, radio and print) in a very short amount of time. Our "In the News" page on our website filled up very quickly with video clips, audio clips and reprints, from all of the exposure he was able to get for our CEO and leadership team. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Jack and his team if you want results!

I have worked with Gayle Falkenthal for more than a decade. She is responsive, smart, focused, and creative. She often speaks for me better than I can speak for myself! Her writing ability is beyond amazing. My competitors compliment me all the time about my website, my blog, and my visibility, and they all want to know how I do it. THIS is how.

I hired Lee and London to manage the PR for my business as well as generating specific leads in my industry. The results were spectacular, leading to several editorials written about our business in major industry publications, as well as mainstream publications, and long lead tourism publications. We also had heavy hitters in the press world come on site to experience what we offer first hand. All thanks to Lee & London. Brendi and her team, think outside of the box, which we love! We have a very unique business and she was able to accommodate those needs. They are professional and they respond in a quick and timely manner. The Lee and London team know exactly what they are doing, they know what you need and how to provide it for you. We couldn't be happier with our decision to use them and look forward to continuing our business relationship for years to come.

Greg at Experia is the consummate pro. He's created graphics and logos from scratch and every project I've worked with him on sizzles. From billboard campaigns to posters and social media, he's always my first call. I've recommended him to friends and he always makes me look good for doing so. He's truly interested in helping his clients succeed and will go above and beyond to make it happen. Great attitude, work ethic and will do whatever it takes to make sure you're happy with the results. You'd be crazy to hire anyone else! Andy Winford, Program Director KATM/Stockton-Modesto

CIM is by far the best PR Firm I have hired. They helped me with my social media campaigns, web design, and also with my delivery skills when speaking to large crowds. I look forward to continuing the growth that I have seen with my brand since hiring CIM Inc Pr!
