PR Wins

"A million thank you's for all of your guidance, expertise and support this year. I couldn't have done it without you!!" - Jacqueline Rousseau

We're always thrilled to share our clients' press wins! And we're also proud that almost every company we work with is a small business. Many are women-owned brands that sell US-made, small-batch, sustainably-produced products. And we believe (and know) there's a place in the media for these products and stories.

Below are a few recent examples of media features our clients secured for themselves.

Our One-on-One client Jacquelin Rousseau's Throw was featured in Real Simple's holiday gift guide!

We'd like to point out something particularly exciting about this placement. Rousseau is a small, independent home goods brand. And their blanket was featured alongside YETI, a big international company.

You may worry that top tier press is only for "big, well-known brands". That's just not true! With the right photography, a clear outreach strategy, an editor-ready website, and in this case samples, small brands can also secure features in widely-read consumer publications like Real Simple.

Rousseau's throws were also featured in Interior Design's fall tabloid!

Our Custom Media List & Opportunities Kit client Tawny Lara's N/A Spirits brand (parentheses) was featured in Punch's holiday gift guide. PS- it was the only non-alcoholic beverage option featured in this guide!

As always, thanks for giving us a bit of time in your inbox.

Cheers & happy short week for all in the US!
