Brands don't sell brands, people do

Pietryla PR & Marketing LLC is a boutique PR and digital marketing firm. We work best with clients that are managing a watershed moment -- launching a new product, seeking funding, going through a branding shift, or implementing a new automation strategy. We specialize in media relations, online influence, and strategy.

What distinguishes us from other firms or agencies is our ability to scale and the large amount of business acumen we bring to our strategies. It’s not often you find PR people and writers who are also well-versed in running a successful business – knowing how to interpret success in the same way your board, investors and employees do is critical in making sure our activities tie back to your business goals.

Our team has hands-on experience growing their own businesses, so we understand exactly what you need and why it’s important. This innate business acumen sets us apart from other traditional agency teams.

We bring to bear the full services and expertise of a larger agency without all the overhead. There’s no bait-and-switch to a less experienced project manager.

Your team at Pietryla PR is senior-level and has years of experience getting stuff done. There is no way you will ever work with a person who either can’t or isn’t prepared to make a strategic decision. Our billing and reporting practices are transparent and are the same for all of our clients.
