Are you tired of being passed over for opportunities in the media, conferences, and podcasting while your peers and competitors seem to be killing it?
If you’re a woman who owns a business generating more than $1 million in annual revenue, you are part of just 2% of all business owners in America.
And if you also happen to be a person of color, particularly from Black, Latinx, or Native American heritage, and if you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community, you likely had to work at least twice as hard to make it this far.
Now that you’ve gotten your business this far, you’re ready to pour some gasoline on this fire you call your business and you want to use PR to do that.
Your story deserves to be told.
“Our growing firm loves working with Full Swing PR, a relationship we have valued for several years now. They are professional, dedicated, smart, and fun to be around. We trust Caitlin, Holly, and their team to plan and execute our PR and digital marketing with a clear and rational approach that is rooted in solutions.”
Brenda Bookholtz, Full Swing Client
“Full Swing helped me solidify my new company’s messaging. During our kick-off call, they helped me redefine my goals so that I could create offers that would stand out in my industry. They helped me get into one of my dream outlets, Black Enterprise, in less than six weeks! I’ve learned so much about what makes me newsworthy and how to gain media attention before my book launch.”
Regina Lawless, CEO AND FOUNDER OF of Bossy & Blissful
“I’m a physician, not a marketer, so I was not at all sure where to start when it came to investing in PR. Full Swing took great care of me. They got me published in POPSUGAR, People, Brit + Co, and leading dermatology outlets. I’m grateful they saw my potential and helped me raise my visibility and credibility as a leader in my field.”
Dr. Fara Kamangar, DermGPT
Nothing boosts a stagnant business like PR. Be seen by more potential customers while also making your content marketing work harder for you.
To continue to scale your business, grow your visibility, and amplify the impact you make in this world, we’re inviting you to make PR your new best friend.
When you set your business ablaze with our 10 Steps to more publicity, you can expect to:
- Eliminate the overwhelm of PR and marketing so you can focus on your zone of genius, fielding the right opportunities instead of constantly questioning what to do next
- Know exactly how and where to pitch your business.
- Understand the type of PR help you may need (you’ve got options!)
- Wrap your brain around when you need to invest time and/or money in PR, particularly if you have a book coming out in the next year
- Bring in exponentially more leads to your business.
- Building outside credibility and authority that makes it easier to close sales.
The Most Sustainable Way To Grow
To grow your visibility exponentially, you need to show up in the news media in order to radically expand the number of people you reach and to build the credibility and authority that comes when you are seen as a subject matter expert in your field.
Put simply, doing PR well grows your influence much faster than having weekly coffee dates or attending conferences ever could.
If you’ve been on the fence about when and how to invest in marketing, and wondering why your competitors make headlines more often than you, it’s time to get serious about PR like the seven- or eight-figure badass business owner you are.
Because PR encompasses all of the ways you show up for your potential clients in the wider world, growing your business with PR helps turn the right heads at the right time, filling your funnel with potential customers or donors, primed to buy or take action for your cause.
Full Swing PR’s mission is to help underrecognized leaders be seen and sought after so they can reclaim their power and rewrite the human story.
Queer- and women-owned, our approach to PR is rooted in authenticity and elevating women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ voices of small business owners in the news media so that they can build the platform they need to do things like:
- Transform the legal industry by offering 16 weeks paid parental leave and removing the equity partnership structure that disproportionately harms women lawyers.
- Improve healthcare access and public education for more Americans.
- Help women, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC run for public office.
- Improve access to housing, healthy food, open space, and child care.
- Sell more books than they ever thought possible, opening doors for new income streams and more media opportunities.
