What’s the difference between PR and marketing?
PR builds credibility through storytelling and earned media, think features, interviews, reviews, and cultural moments. Marketing is more about paid campaigns and direct promotion. The two work best together and we often collaborate with teams in marketing, but PR is where your reputation, authenticity, and voice take center stage.

What is your process for getting media coverage, and how long does it take to see results?
We start with understanding your story, goals, timeline and audience. From there, we craft your strategy, build a tailored media list, and pitch your story to journalists, editors, and outlets that matter. Coverage timelines vary. Some clients see results quickly (within weeks), while others build momentum over months. The key is always having timely and newsworthy angles to pitch. For emerging individuals who aren’t already well known, it can take longer to build as we make you aware to press contacts. PR is about sustained visibility and credibility, not overnight hits.

Why should I hire a boutique PR firm instead of a big agency?
