Public Relations

While we love offering strategic communications advice to our clients, we have a sweet spot for editorial coverage and storytelling. We are children of the 80s, after all, and loved magazines growing up! We're in our zone when crafting communication plans, fine-tuning critical company messaging, and working directly with journalists and top-tier content creators.

Chikara PR maintains trusted relationships with key media and is able to maximize media exposure for client partners through thoughtful, creative and timely PR strategies that resonate with target audiences.

We believe that PR is so much more than publicity; communications are a foundational part of building a forever brand and should be considered at every stage of your individual or business growth.

We aim to give input and impact where it counts!

Tina Kies, founder of Chikara PR, got her PR start at a prestigious PR agency in 1999.

MEDIA TRAINING FOR PRESS INTERVIEWS

Most CEOs have genius and vision, but not all of them are natural-born storytellers while on camera and in front of a journalist.

We know what editors, TV anchors and journalists are looking for. Your product and your story are two very different things, and we make sure to translate your unique industry jargon into inspiring ideas and themes people are already interested in.

We will help you transform your storytelling from one that’s product and sale-focused, to one that is topical, newsworthy, and resonates with mass audiences. This is key to getting the bigger slice of the pie when it comes to getting recognition.

Before every interview (live tv, print, radio, or otherwise), we will sit down and practice with pre-discussed talking points so that your key messages aren't lost during the interview.
