Sarah at Aloide worked with our association to build a website designed to share technical information to a targeted audience. She exceeded our expectations! Not only did she have a creative vision, but she was meticulous with keeping the process and content organized, writing content that perfectly meshed with the "personality" of the site, stayed within budget, was ahead of timeline, and did I mention, even created a tutorial video to aid us in maintaining the website when her work is done. I HIGHLY recommend Aloide. I already have plans to utlize Aloide for other communication related projects.

Christine and her team are incredible, I really cannot recommend them enough. I’ve seen Christine work actual magic for clients I’ve shared with her, while also hiring her for our own services. Christine goes all in for her clients, coming up with unique ways to get attention. I always thought businesses that were in the press all the time were just “lucky”, but I’ve now come to realize that they are successful because they have Christine by their side. Christine is a ninja, she does her job so well that the public doesn’t even know she’s there. Can’t recommend Poster Consulting enough!

Reviews verified by DesignRush and sourced from the agency's profile View All Reviews
Employer branding PR: Storytelling that highlights culture, leadership, and workplace values through earned media.
Awards programs: Strategic identification and submission to industry awards to secure third-party validation.
Risk and resilience campaigns
Crisis response: Rapid communications to manage negative events, misinformation, or reputational threats.
Reputation repair: Sustained PR efforts to rebuild credibility after a crisis, controversy, or prolonged negative coverage.
How do top PR firms in the USA secure media coverage and build long-term momentum?
American PR firms secure media coverage and sustain momentum through a structured, repeatable process that combines strategy, execution, and relationship management.
Narrative development: Defining a clear, newsworthy story that aligns brand goals with what journalists write about, ensuring relevance rather than promotional messaging.
Proof-point assembly: Gathering customer outcomes, data, executive credibility, and third-party validation to support claims.
Media mapping: Identifying journalists and media outlets based on beat, audience fit, and past coverage.
Angle creation: Adapting the core narrative into timely, outlet-specific angles tied to trends, news hooks, or audience pain points.
Pitching cadence: Sending pitches in controlled waves to avoid inbox fatigue while maintaining steady visibility across priority publications.
Follow-ups and refinement: Using thoughtful follow-ups to clarify relevance or provide a new context rather than repeat the same message.
Reactive opportunities: Monitoring breaking news and journalist requests to insert expert commentary quickly, compounding coverage between major campaigns.
Relationship building and iteration: Earning trust through reliability and relevance—relationships can open doors, but newsworthiness still drives results.
How much does it cost to hire a PR agency in the United States?
PR agency costs in the United States vary widely based on the scope of work, pitch volume, media tier, industry complexity, crisis sensitivity, and specific deliverables. However, price ranges typically fall within the following:
Engagement type
Typical cost range
Notes
Monthly retainer (ongoing support)
$5,000-$20,000+ per month
Common range for standard campaigns; larger national/global programs can exceed this.
Used for consulting, strategy, or special projects.
Project-based fees
$5,000-$50,000+
One-off campaigns, like product launches or funding announcements.
Pre-set packages/tiered retainers
$4,000-$8,000+ per month
Fixed deliverables at defined tiers.
What’s the difference between a B2B public relations agency and a B2C PR firm?
B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) PR firms differ based on audience, buying cycle, and media focus.
B2B PR agency
B2B PR targets niche decision makers and long buying cycles, with coverage focused on industry and trade publications. Messaging relies on proof points like ROI, case studies, and expertise, with indirect conversion goals tied to pipeline influence and a steady, lower volume cadence.
B2C PR firm
Consumer PR targets broad audiences and shorter buying cycles, emphasizing mainstream media, lifestyle outlets, and creators. Storytelling is emotion-led and trend-driven, with clearer near-term conversion expectations such as traffic or sales and a faster, campaign-based cadence.
When should I hire a PR company instead of handling PR in-house?
Brands should decide between an agency and in-house PR based on scale, speed, and risk tolerance.
Hire a PR company if:
You need rapid scale or intensive campaign support that exceeds internal bandwidth.
You want immediate access to established media relationships across top-tier and niche outlets.
You are planning a high-stakes launch, funding round, rebrand, or market expansion.
You need crisis readiness or a 24/7 response capability that in-house teams cannot sustain.
You operate in a complex or regulated industry that requires specialized PR expertise.
You want an external perspective to sharpen positioning and messaging.
Keep it in-house if:
PR needs are steady, predictable, and limited in scope.
Your team already has strong media relationships in your core category.
Campaign intensity is low and tied mainly to internal updates or announcements.
Budget constraints favor salaried roles over agency retainers.
You prioritize deep institutional knowledge over broad external reach.
