Influencers Review from Marie Sophie Franke
The positive things I have to say about Josephstudios are endless.Our primary point of contact, Daniel, has been assisting us with the creation of a landing page and helping us to coordinate and arrange all of our marketing initiatives. Working with him has been a true pleasure; he is highly proactive, highly responsive, and always at the top of his game. I also like that he has a wealth of resources at his disposal for any issues that may arise outside of the parameters of our assigned tasks.

SEO Review from Nathan Judd
During the launch of our new website, JosephStudios provided SEO consultancy assistance to our firm. The SEO specialists' expertise really amazed us, and they offered us a plethora of advice that have improved the organic rank and traffic of dozens of our product pages. We have also worked with JosephStudios on CRO consultations, and the outcomes of that project have been just as successful. All things considered, we have loved working with JosephStudios and heartily recommend them.

Digital Marketing Review from Ramirez Ruben
The company worked with several vendors over the course of two years in an attempt to have the penalty lifted; however, Josephstudios was able to produce results in just two months. The agency was able to restore and improve a large number of the listings that Google Panda had previously deleted with quick and dedicated work.

Event Marketing Review from Christian Dori
Working with Belkin Marketing has been a truly outstanding experience for Night&Day. From the very first interaction, Iaros and his team demonstrated a deep understanding of the music and entertainment industry, bringing strategic insight and genuine passion to every aspect of our collaboration. Their ability to connect us with the right people - from HNWI networks to key industry players - has been invaluable in expanding our reach and visibility. The team's responsiveness is exceptional; they are available around the clock and always ready to jump in with solutions, ideas, and support when needed. What sets Belkin Marketing apart is their "outside the box" mentality. They don't follow conventional marketing playbooks - they innovate, adapt, and consistently find new and effective ways to drive results. Their strategic advisory has helped us sharpen our positioning and approach major events with confidence. The quality of their work is top-tier, and the value they deliver far exceeds expectations. If you are in the music, entertainment, or Web3 space and looking for a partner who truly goes above and beyond, Belkin Marketing is the team to work with. Highly recommended.

Don McCann and the staff at Structural Energetic Therapy® have been so very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Evoke Strategy, and have been guided and supported in a most professional and knowledgeable manner since 2014. Elizabeth and Devon have been so helpful in working with us to evaluate and create a clear targeted approach to what our public relations needs are, and designing methods of expanding our message to local and national audiences. They helped us clean up our website and simplify our online presentation. They expanded our ability to communicate with our therapists and students on our website by creating an intranet service that assists therapists and students in building their own businesses and provides a platform for questions and answers. They’ve set up a public relations program that has brought us great exposure within our budget. They have been able to effectively target a special population that is interested in what we have to offer, and have very successfully opened up the world of affordable online advertising to us. It is a pleasure working with them! They are so pleasant, helpful, and willing to share their expertise in so many areas. They have been with us every step of the way, and have offered support and guidance whenever needed. Thank you, Elizabeth and Devon. You are a welcomed guiding light on our journey of growth and expansion.

Evoke Strategy LLC designed an updated website for our elementary school PTA. The site includes a calendar, email addresses for PTA board members, online forms, and an online store. Devon and Elizabeth Vocke really took the time to listen and respond to all of our different interests and plans for the website. They helped guide us toward the best design for our needs and walked us through putting together our content. The end result is clean, efficient, and easy to use. We have received numerous compliments on it from parents at our school and other schools.

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.
