Top Public Relations (PR) Agencies

I have the pleasure of working with Kristin Goins at SmartSites, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. As the Project Manager and Web Design Team Lead, Kristin consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership, creativity, and dedication to delivering outstanding results. From the outset, Kristin took the time to understand our vision and goals, ensuring that every aspect of our project was aligned with our objectives. Her ability to translate our concepts into actionable plans was impressive, and she kept the team focused and motivated throughout the process. Kristin’s communication skills are top-notch; she provided regular updates and was always available to address any questions or concerns. Her collaborative approach fostered a positive team environment, making it easy for everyone to contribute their ideas and expertise. The results are exceeding our expectations, thanks to Kristin's keen eye for design and attention to detail. She ensured that our website was not only visually stunning but also user-friendly and optimized for performance. Overall, working with Kristin is a fantastic experience. She is a true asset to the SmartSites team, and I look forward to collaborating with her on future projects. If you’re seeking a skilled Project Manager and Team Lead who can elevate your web design efforts, Kristin is the one to go to!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Otter PR, and I can’t speak highly enough about their professionalism, dedication, and results. From the very first consultation, it was clear that the team genuinely cared about understanding my needs and crafting a personalized PR strategy. Their expertise in media outreach and storytelling has helped me gain visibility in key markets, with coverage that significantly boosted my brand's credibility. One of the standout qualities of Otter PR is their responsiveness. The team was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and make adjustments to the plan when needed. They worked quickly but thoughtfully, ensuring every press release and pitch was on point. The media placements they secured for me far exceeded my expectations. In just a few months, my business was featured in several major publications, something I wouldn’t have achieved on my own. Otter PR’s network and connections are impressive, and they know how to leverage them to get results.

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!

Overall it was a great experience, I highly recommend their services, and have to many business associates, and even my own Dad for his business. Unfortunately M16 was not the first company we went with or the second, which turned out to be a very expensive mistake with others that we tried before finding them. I definitely recommend their services! As a business owner every dollar you spend is precious, and the money you spend with them, in my experience, was very well spent. Don't waste any more time looking at other companies, these guys are great, highly recommend!

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.

The intent of Webimax (all of the staff that we have been in contact with) is very clear when working with them. They want to understand what it is you are searching for exactly, they are great at listening and implementing any feedback you may have, and are very flexible when you have certain requests. They want to create the best possible plan for you. Our company specifically is very keen on being able to create content as much as possible ourselves, and so we very much want to be in control of whatever is created for us by Webimax. They allow and encourage our input without a problem and they seamlessly adapt to our wishes and requests. On top of that, after just having been their client for nearly four months, we have already seen very positive results. They just sent us their plan of action for our fourth month with them, and we simply had no comment, it looked great. This goes to show that they take their time to understand the feel of the organization and what it wants, yet are quite fast at grasping that. We are very grateful to have found them, and I will recommend them to anyone.

Lounge Lizard is a great company to work with! When we started looking for a website company to design our new website, Lounge Lizard's work spoke for itself plus they were very clear on the process. We looked at other providers, but the designs were elevated when it came to Lounge Lizard. The project process of getting the new site up with all the content was fluid. They use a great collaborative tool that made the process easy, and the meetings kept us involved and up to date with all edits. The finished product was exactly what we wanted. The team at Lounge Lizard are the best! Everyone we worked with was easy to work with and super helpful, even after production they still assist us when needed. We couldn't be happier with the choice to have them as our website designers!

They did not help us achieve anything. They tanked performance for currently running campaigns, and any new campaigns they launched did not perform well. They were included in our RFP process because they claimed to have expertise in both B2B marketing and Healthcare Tech marketing. We quickly realized they had neither. Instead of working to optimize campaigns, they continued to increase the target cost per acquisition, causing the quality score of one long-running successful campaign to drop from 8/10 to 2/10 and increasing our CPA of $20 to over $300. They would ask us for advice on how to optimize campaigns in our weekly calls. We handed over a massive amount of reading materials. Everything they asked for - buyer personas, messaging framework, competitive intel. It seemed like they never bothered to read any of it because, after nine months of working with us, they still didn't understand our audiences or products. That was an issue that could have been solved with them just trying a little bit. What could not be solved was the fact they didn't know how to manage paid search campaigns. If you don't know anything about digital marketing, they might be able to fool you. Their team of paid search managers needs training, plain and simple. I had to spend several hours going through the work they did and making notes on how to fix the poor performance - that's what we hired them to do! Fortunately, we are experts in digital marketing, and we just needed people to execute the work, so we realized quickly that they were not helping our business and, in fact, making the situation worse. We did not stay with them for the entire year. They made us pay for one additional month when they didn't do any work and called it "offboarding." They also pad the hours and say they did a lot more than they actually did.

Interdependence helped us craft a strategy for strengthening our position in European markets within a relatively short timeframe. Our goal was to enhance our thought leadership status by publishing articles in several targeted media outlets, and that objective was thoroughly met. We were particularly impressed by the fact that the team conducted in-depth research into our organization, history, and market before our first consultation, which streamlined the process and gave us complete confidence that their language and solutions would accurately embody our core brand message. Their deliverable were high-quality and effective, and the team was highly professional and goal oriented.

Prior to working with CVM, we worked with two other agencies, both of which expressed a lot of excitement around our story, but were not able to transform that enthusiasm into press coverage. CVM was the first agency that was able to instinctually turn the details of our product offering and business model into storylines that caught the media’s attention. It’s important to note that at the beginning of our engagement, the media was not yet writing about climate technology. CVM had to first educate outlets on the emerging category and its importance, and then quickly capitalize on their curiosity. They did this through real-world narratives about the role our technology was playing in consumers’ lives through the various lifestyle, health and digital products they use everyday. Through these efforts, CVM generated interest for BreezoMeter, as well as climate technology as a whole, from major media outlets, including Techcrunch, The New York Times, CNBC, CNET, Forbes, Fox Business, New York Post, The Washington Post, WWD, USA Today and Fast Company. CVM’s methodical planning process particularly impressed us. They focused heavily on developing our positioning and the messages we needed to put out in the media to drive the right audience behaviors. They knew exactly what stories they wanted to tell before telling them, and identified what they needed in order to secure the headlines we wanted. We ultimately adopted this messaging for use in our investor conversations and across marketing channels. Our CEO had created a vision board of the media outlets he wanted to be in, not thinking that all of them were actually possible. CVM stepped up to the challenge and was able to come up with story angles to get us into every single one of them. We had also set an internal goal of increasing website traffic by 20%. Channel V Media helped us surpass this goal in the first month of working together.

Fantastic ability to understand our business and the story we want to tell. Appreciate the many TV appearances and print/online opportunities that have come our way because of the great media relationships Bettie Bomb, Inc maintains.

Emily and the RPR team have been fantastic to work with over the past 2 years. My business had 0 brand recognition before working with the RPR team, but they helped create us a roadmap to build buzz and get us press. Their great communication has made it very easy to work with them and ensures we are always on the same page.

Daniel is constantly looking for ways to save his client's money so they can allocate that savings for other projects and programs.

Beyond her skills, Dotty's kindness makes "Ask Dotty" a real promise for trustworthy and effective website optimization and much more.

I was referred to The Media Captain by a fellow music school owner friend who said they were amazing to work with and really helped his SEO. My friend was right! Jason, Alec, and the whole team at The Media Captain are extremely organized, efficient, and knowledgeable. They presented me with a spreadsheet of goals and tasks organized by month, explained their strategy and got my approval for it, and have been working through the tasks methodically, updating me as they go. They made super smart changes to my website which I never would have thought of and my rankings have already improved after just a few months! They also improved my Google Adwords and got the cost per click down. I was initially worried that they would simply advise and I would have to do a lot of work on my own (which would be a bummer since I don't know anything about this stuff!), but that's not how it works. I gave them my login credentials to key sites and they do ALL the work. I have worked with two other SEO companies. One was more of a freelancer and one was a much larger company. Both had problems and even though I was promised results (which was fishy in the first place), I never got them. I did, however, waste a lot of money. The Media Captain is a perfectly-sized company with direct contact and strategizing with the owner but also a lot of support from the rest of the team. They're large enough to have resources but small enough to actually care. As a business owner of nearly 10 years, I have worked with a lot of companies. The Media Captain is one of the best companies I have ever worked with! In our industry, there is no smarter way to spend your marketing budget than on getting those organic rankings up. If that matters in your industry as well, it's worth every penny with these guys.

I worked with Baseline Creative years ago when I worked for a nonprofit organization in town. They were easy to work with, passionate about their work, invest back into our community, and are very kind and patient. When I needed to design a new logo and business cards for my new therapy practice, there was no question who I wanted to work with! Again, they were kind, timely, patient with my many requests, and created the most beautiful final product. I was new to this type of process, and they guided me where needed, yet also gave me autonomy over the project to make it “mine”. I will treasure this logo for years to come. I cannot recommend Baseline Creative enough!

REQ was our primary paid media agency for over 5 years. Throughout the course of our engagement, the team was a critical partner in the success of our business and the growth of our various product lines across the country. They are incredibly well versed in digital marketing best practices, and constantly brought new ideas, tactics and methodologies to the table to keep things fresh. I would highly recommend REQ to any enterprise level businesses looking to expand and optimize their digital ecosystem.

Working with Activate Health has been an exceptional experience. Their team has secured hundreds of media opportunities for me, from top local and national publications to speaking engagements, podcasts, interviews and articles. They don’t just open doors. They provide comprehensive support every step of the way, making my involvement effortless. Their expertise has been indispensable in shaping my public presence and amplifying my voice in the healthcare space. Simply put, they are more than an agency—they are a trusted partner who always delivers.

As a small business, we needed someone to partner with for our new website. After talking to a handful of different companies that wanted more than $10k just to get started on the website alone, Social Firm provided us a wonderful option with their LiftOff program that not only allowed for an affordable solution for a beautiful new website, but also allowed us to have money left over to put into their digital marketing services too. It took about 2 and a half months for everything to be completed and we immediately started receiving leads within days of our new website going live, and 4 months after launching, the amount of business we are getting has seriously more than paid for the website and services at this point. Our experience with Social Firm has and continues to be fantastic through this entire process and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for web or digital marketing help!

After working with numerous graphic designers, Avalaunch has been (by far) the most professional, timely, and pleasurable to work with. The team assigned to our infographic design asked questions we hadn't even thought to answer, proactively nixing problems that probably would have come up later in the process--it's like they knew what we needed before we did! The friendly demeanor of their entire team, flexibility in scheduling short chats, and positive attitude toward any changes or questions we had were all extremely refreshing and sped the process along so quickly we were in awe. The end product was perfect; so perfect that even our incredibly picky, quality-obsessed team was delighted across the board. Couldn't recommend Avalaunch more highly!

I reached out to Mike Visconti after seeing the website that the V12 team created for a friend. It was stunning. Mike, the creative director, is very easy to speak to and really listens to what you're looking to achieve. It is clear that he is passionate about helping people, not just making money, and I would recommend this company to anyone who wants a new or updated website. There's someone on the team for each aspect of the website, such as a professional photographer, graphic designer, and copywriter. I spoke to several companies before deciding to go with V12, and they were most transparent about the cost, which I really appreciated, and it was actually less then the other companies who I spoke to and was underwhelmed by their portfolios.

Hiring Brian and Calibrate Marketing to help me with all things website, marketing, and strategy was the best thing I did for my business. They are excellent to work with and I highly recommend!

Liz Morgan is what PR looks like in 2020 and beyond. She understands trends while keeping big picture and long term goals in mind. She utilizes the assets that her clients provide in meaningful ways to drive consumers. She is a professional in every sense of the word, and her work ethic is impressive. She is always going above and beyond to ensure the success of her clients, and as we have grown, we have continued to utilize Liz in more markets. She has always provided us with excellent service and brought relevant and fresh ideas to our markets.

We worked with Pierpont to manage our social media channels (more than 35 profiles) for several years. Even with transitions on account personnel, the Pierpont team was always helpful and very responsive. The main reason we are no longer contracting them is because we are attempting to move our social media management in house. If the opportunity arises to bring in agency help again, we would definitely reach back out to Pierpont.

We worked with Eberly & Collard Public Relations to manage our public and media relations and integrated marketing a few years ago, and the results have been right on target with what they said they'd do for us. Our projects were published in magazines and business journals every month. Eberly & Collard Public Relations has gotten us over a dozen speaking events every year which has been good for our owners and management team to gain face time with audiences like construction site owners, developers, architects, and other key customers important for our sales and marketing. We suggest them as a results based firm and give them a five star rating based on how well they have met our PR needs.
