PR-LED CLIENT ATTRACTION

A blended approach to client acquisition helping you generate leads through PR strategies that inspire your target audience to take action.

STOP PAYING FOR BAD PR RESULTS

Have you paid tens of thousands on PR that yielded no results? You’re certainly not the only one. I hear from people every month who reach out from one of my articles asking me why they keep wasting money on publicity efforts that don’t work.

The issue is that PR has changed, but the PR industry hasn’t.

It’s a simple problem. The public relations field was created out of a need to connect journalists with stories. In a time where news investigators literally waited by the phone or fax machine for information, our job was to make sure they got the story.

Today, fax machines are out, no one answers the phone, and social media gives the press all the news they need instantly; so how are storytellers finding stories to share? When I ask reporters where they find people to feature, the three sources are social media, search engines, and asking their network.
​

If these folks aren’t finding you, there are steps you can take to get on their radar to be the one they call when they’re seeking out expert opinions on hot topics. I provide a blended approach to marketing and PR, helping you achieve the goal of increasing revenue and creating long-term visibility and relevance.

I'M WALKING THE TALK

Picture
Years ago, I started my own local brand to launch a women's organization that would fulfill my personal needs to connect with others. As a natural writer and storyteller I started creating content, and sharing my ideas about influence with my network at events. 

Organically, without me ever asking for opportunities, people started reaching out to feature me on small blogs and as a speaker to local niche groups to teach my concepts and to tell my story of going from introvert to power influencer. Within a year, I was a paid speaker who got offers from associations and universities who heard about me from my network. 

I've been in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, on Lifetime TV, FOX, ABC, and in my local Denver Business Journal. A partial list of my features is available here, but the list got too big to remember to record every instance of coverage I got. The point is, I did all of the things I'm telling you to do and reaped massive rewards in the form of publicity from people who wanted to tell my story. Together, we can create this kind of momentum for your brand.

​Krystal and her team are amazing! From the on-boarding as a new client to the tactical details and strategic goal setting, they exceeded my expectations. She knows how to translate a client's expertise and experience into communications that are appealing to a variety of audiences. And she knows which publications, podcasts, and influencers will be able to help you meet your professional and business goals. I am certain I will hire Krystal again and recommend her often to others looking for a communications expert.​

Krystal managed the PR for an expo I produced in Denver. Not only was she a consummate professional but also brought tangible value to the team with her social media and PR experience and expertise. Krystal is one of a kind and is definitely on a trajectory of incredible success. I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity to have her as part of our team and hope to get to work with her again!

"Working with Krystal has taken my business to another level!  Before her, I was trying (poorly) to do it all on my own, as most business owners do.  Her expertise, connections, and tenacity have made my work with Krystal one of the best investments I've made in my business.  It helped to establish a true brand for my business and get my expertise out there.  I know Krystal always has my best interests in mind, and I could not recommend her more highly."

I hired Krystal to help my company lead an influencer marketing program with a goal of acquiring 100 newsletter subscribers for a restaurant group in California. Krystal found the influencers for approval by the brand, led the discussions and negotiations, and helped coordinate an online giveaway. The program lasted about a week and in that time we received 190 subscribers using 3 influencers.
