This review has been a longtime coming.
I have had the pleasure of working with both Rio and more recently Glenn on countless branding and marketing projects for financial services, healthcare and technology clients. Every time I bring them onto a project, they feel like an extension of both my team and the client. To them its more than just another project.
Because of that, they're my go-to creative partners any time I need to explore a new brand direction with a client or need additional expertise on strategic marketing execution. They have decades of industry experience and produce quality creative.
I think they're a good fit if you're looking to reach your audience on a deeper level and create a long lasting impression with your customer base.

Relevance is amazing! Once our non-compete ended with our previous company, we jumped right over to Relevance and the difference was noticeable day 1! Our account reps, Kari, Janine, and Chanelle, are caring, thorough, creative, and fun. They are also very well connected and tend to get us terrific media exposure. They always go beyond the call of duty to ensure that our needs are met and that we are happy.
I would highly recommend Relevance to anyone in need of professional PR.

# Big Fish PR Review
**Holy crap, where do I even start with Big Fish PR.**
As VP of Her ALS Story, I’ve been around the block with agencies, and let me tell you - what Big Fish did for our Warrior Weekend was absolutely unreal.
These people are MAGIC. Like, I’m not even exaggerating. When we first talked to them about the Warrior Weekend, I could tell they immediately understood what we were trying to do. This isn’t just another event for us - it’s about bringing together warriors in the ALS fight and giving them a space to connect, heal, and find strength. And Big Fish? They got that from minute one.
The media coverage they landed for us was insane. We’re talking major publications - the kind of outlets that usually don’t give smaller nonprofits the time of day. But somehow Big Fish made our story irresistible to them. Every pitch felt strategic, every story placement felt meaningful. They didn’t just spray and pray with press releases. They crafted our narrative in a way that made editors actually care.
What blew me away was how they made our Warrior Weekend feel like THE event everyone needed to know about. The buzz they created wasn’t just noise - it was the right kind of attention that brought in the right people and resources.
But here’s the thing that really got me: they never made it feel transactional. Every conversation, every strategy session, every brainstorm felt like we were working with people who genuinely gave a damn about our mission. They celebrated our wins like they were their own family’s wins.
If you’re looking for a PR team that will fight for your cause like it’s their own, call Big Fish immediately. Don’t walk, RUN. These people are the real deal, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
**Trust me on this one.

I’ve been building brands for 15 years and have worked with many PR partners, but none have impressed me like BIG FISH. Their strategy, communication, processes, and talent for building relationships with publishers and media is unmatched. In just a few months, they landed major placements for Adoorn in Architectural Digest, Oprah, and Real Simple. Highly recommend!

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.
