Digital Marketing Review from Rita Dragonette
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.

David Bradshaw's Review Sourced from Google
As a client of Marketri, we at Northstar PMO continue to be thoroughly impressed with their strategic marketing services.
From the outset, we valued their structured and methodical approach to truly understanding the nuances of our business. This deep dive allowed us to formulate a comprehensive and tailored marketing plan that perfectly aligned with our goals.
The quality of the materials and content our Marketri team produced for us has been exceptional. Thanks to their expertise, we now have a significantly more polished and professional online presence. We are seeing real, tangible results from these efforts.
We also want to acknowledge the people behind the success. A special thank you to the Founder, Debra Andrews, for her consistent support and strategic oversight. Furthermore, the collaboration with our delivery team, Katie and Brita, is outstanding. They are consistently responsive, insightful, and truly felt like an extension of our own team.
Northstar PMO highly recommends Marketri to any organization seeking a knowledgeable, collaborative, and results-oriented marketing partner.

Steven Collins's Review Sourced from Google
As an earlier stage company, we were in need of expertise in building our marketing strategy, presence and brand, but did not have the ability to invest in building out a full marketing function. The Marketri Fractional CMO offering has been perfect for us as we have been able to leverage best in class expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full internal marketing function.
During our engagement with Marketri, they helped us develop a full strategy to build out our brand consistent with our deep-seated mission, vision and values. Among many other things, Marketri helped us build out a fully functional website and web presence. Their social media experts got us firmly established as a social media powerhouse in our space, creating valuable exposure for the company. Their digital expertise and adoption of technology is superb. They also have provided us the tools needed to grow and expand our business in a strategic manner, and the ability to measure results.
The entire team is super impressive, providing valuable advice and expertise, while also extremely pleasant to work with. They listen, collaborate, advise and implement with exceptional skill. They have my highest recommendation!

We have partnered with Deb Andrews and her team for the last few years. They did an amazing job helping us navigate the process of rebranding and identifying our 'voice' for our marketing style. Each year, we work together to layout a roadmap for our content strategy and they keep us on track during our regularly scheduled meetings. The Marketri team is very collaborative and truly an extension of our team.

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.
