What clients are saying...
“I hired Smith Publicity at a crucial time for my leadership development practice: I was executing a pivot toward newer work, with a new book, and needed highest impact PR to support the effort. I came to Smith after using two other firms which were very
expensive and produced no results. Smith Publicity, and specifically the team of Jessica Sager and Mallory Campoli not only got the job done, they generated so much strategic visibility across a variety of media that I had to work to keep up with them! This is a firm, and team, that brings, ‘I get you, I get your work, and I know how to sell it’ and then gets the job done and more. They’re delightful, lightning-speed fast, very smart and clear on expectations. They’re also very
knowledgeable about market timing and news cycles. My only regret is I didn’t find them sooner!”
