My Approach

“Our agency’s heart is in Michigan. Over the years, we’ve drawn strength from our roots and grown into a PR agency that is able to not only garner meaningful media coverage and leverage connections in our home state, but have the pulse and attention of national media to secure larger, significant placements and partnerships on behalf of our clients.

The cornerstone of our business is media relations. Since 2008, we’ve been building solid relationships with reporters, publishers, producers, writers, influencers bloggers and editors. It is through these established relationships that PublicCity PR is able to secure quality publicity opportunities and effectively garner awareness for our clients’ products, services, missions and key messages, locally and nationally.”

Simple idea

“You have to give to get in public relations and all through a common sense lens.”

Lasting impact
