Terry Van Gelder's Review Sourced from Google
Firecracker PR formulated and executed a complete communications plan to support the launch of our AGT Hybrid Greenhouse. Because this product launch was unlike anything else on the market, we were seeking an agency that could help us create the messaging and positioning from the ground up. Firecracker exceeded our expectations, helping us land key articles in outlets such as International Business Times. They also played a significant role is the AGT Greenhouse being named a Gold Edison Award winner. Firecracker also managed our social media, web copy and search engine optimization strategies.

Mediamark team in a short time helped us to become one of the most discussed brands in the social media. These guys have a special flair for marketing: having huge experience in product promotion, they not only prepare creative posts, but also develop the entire off-line sales strategy, which I value most in our cooperation. “Nothing is impossible!” - this is how we can describe our work in three words. Talented and energetic, they are the best partner any company could wish for!

Brand Strategy Review from Tara Munro
I had the pleasure of working with Positive Brand while I was the Marketing Manager at American Locker, and I can't recommend them highly enough. They were an incredible partner throughout a major brand transformation. Together, we developed a new brand identity that included a new logo, brand video, photography, standardized product lines, an internal marketing campaign, a completely redesigned website, and trade show materials that elevated our presence in the market. What impressed me most was their ability to understand our business, ask the right questions, and translate our vision into a cohesive brand that felt authentic and strategic. They were collaborative, creative, responsive, and truly invested in our success every step of the way. If you're looking for an agency that combines thoughtful strategy with exceptional creative execution, Positive Brand is an outstanding choice. I'm grateful for the partnership and the lasting impact they had on our brand.

Working with the team at YesWelcome has been a game-changer for my Moroccan leather brand. From day one, they showed deep understanding of branding and eCommerce. They built a beautiful, fully branded Shopify store for us that truly reflects the spirit and craftsmanship behind our products.
But it didn’t stop there — they also took over our social media management, keeping our audience engaged and growing consistently. On top of that, their PPC advertising campaigns have brought in real, measurable results. Sales are up, brand awareness is growing, and I feel confident knowing that my business is in great hands.
If you’re looking for a professional and creative digital agency that genuinely cares about your success, I 100% recommend YesWelcome.

Media relations and earned coverage: Through strong media relations, PR agencies pitch stories, coordinate interviews, and place clients in relevant publications. Recent industry data shows that 63% of consumers trust news media information over advertising, reinforcing the value of PR-led media coverage.
Strategic communication and PR strategy: Developing a tailored PR strategy aligned with business goals to reach target audiences effectively. According to PR Week’s State of PR report, 75% of communicators say PR must directly align with business results.
Reputation and crisis management: A public relations firm prepares organizations for potential risks and leads response efforts during crises. According to industry research, businesses with a proactive crisis plan recover up to 50% faster than those without one.
Corporate communications and public affairs: Many agencies handle internal and external corporate communications, ensuring consistent messaging across employees, investors, and the public. They may also support public affairs, helping organizations navigate regulatory environments and communicate with government stakeholders.
Content and digital marketing integration: Modern PR services often overlap with digital marketing, content marketing, and influencer marketing. PR firms create press releases, thought leadership articles, and multimedia content that amplify visibility across digital channels. Digital and online media now account for 57.84% of PR spending, showing how communication strategies have shifted toward digital-first engagement.
Brand positioning and thought leadership: PR agencies help companies establish authority through thought leadership, strategic storytelling, and consistent messaging. This is especially important for emerging brands seeking to build brand recognition in competitive markets.
Client advisory and PR counseling: Providing ongoing PR counseling to guide leadership decisions. Agencies advise each client on communication strategy, market positioning, and stakeholder engagement.
How much do PR services typically cost?
The price of PR services varies widely depending on the scope, industry, and level of expertise required. Most entry-level and mid-sized businesses should expect to pay $5,000-$15,000 per month for meaningful results from a professional PR firm.
For ongoing support, agencies typically charge a monthly retainer.
Entry-level or boutique PR firm: $3,000-$5,000 per month
Mid-sized agencies: $8,000-$15,000 per month
Enterprise or global public relations companies: $15,000-$40,000+ per month
A 2025 pricing analysis shows that most retainers fall between $5,000 and $20,000 per month, with larger national or global campaigns exceeding that range.
Agencies charge hourly for advisory, PR counseling, and similar services with rates ranging from $100 to $300 per hour.
How do these firms handle crisis management situations?
They handle crisis management by preparing in advance, responding quickly, and guiding the recovery after the immediate issue is contained.
First, a PR firm assesses risk and builds a response plan before a crisis happens. That matters because 89% of business leaders say resilience is a strategic priority, which shows how seriously companies now treat crisis readiness, according to Deloitte.
When a crisis breaks, firms move fast to control the narrative by drafting a holding statement, advising executives, coordinating legal and leadership input, and managing media questions. The goal is to respond within the first day, because early action often shapes how the issue is perceived.
Top agencies also monitor digital channels in real time. At the start of 2024, there were 5.04 billion social media user accounts worldwide, and the global total grew by 266 million in 2023, which means crises can spread extremely fast across platforms.
After the immediate response, PR teams focus on trust recovery, handling follow-up messaging, stakeholder communication, and reputation rebuilding.
What timelines should I expect before seeing measurable results from PR efforts?
PR results typically take time to build, with most businesses seeing measurable impact within 3 to 6 months, and stronger, sustained results over 6 to 12 months.
Early outputs, such as media placements and initial media relations traction, can appear within the first 4 to 8 weeks. However, meaningful outcomes, such as improved brand recognition, a stronger reputation, and consistent coverage, require ongoing effort and a well-executed strategy.
According to the 2024 Global Comms Report by Cision, 68% of PR professionals say demonstrating long-term impact remains a top priority, reinforcing that PR is a cumulative investment rather than a short-term tactic.
In practice, organizations that commit to at least 6 months of consistent PR activity are far more likely to see measurable business value.
