What clients are saying...
“I was exceptionally happy with my experience with Smith Publicity! Everyone I dealt with was professional, efficient, knowledgeable, as well as kind, patient, and friendly. I was really pleased with the continuous
lines of open communication and my team’s ability to answer all my questions quickly and helpfully. This was my first experience hiring an outside publicity firm, and I really feel like I got my money’s worth. Because of their efforts, I’ve been on TV four times, been interviewed for 3 podcasts, had excellent online book reviews, and written or been featured in numerous articles. I would definitely hire them again should the need arise.”
