      We have been partnered with PRIM for about six months now as my company is about to bring its services to Colorado. I am thoroughly impressed with the caliber of their detailed public relations and integrated marketing communications work. We've used them to write/edit copy, buy media, negotiate sponsorships and more. Gretchen and her team know their stuff and are go-getters, a true force to be reckoned with. They provide thoughtful recommendations, creative ideas, and they have a variety of great contacts in the Denver metro and beyond. I would recommend PRIM to anyone in Colorado, especially those that deal with the hospitality industry.

      Feed Media has been a part of the Taos Ski Valley team for over a decade and is undoubtedly one of the resorts strongest advocates. The Feed team has helped with more PR and Communication strategies than I can begin to count at this point and I'm always glad that we have them to reach out to when it is needed. They are a fun-filled group and consummate professionals. Additionally, their efforts have resulted in a tremendous amount of earned media for Taos Ski Valley; especially over the past few years where they have helped us get the word out to the rest of the country about the revitalization of Taos Ski Valley.

      I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

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.

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.
