WHAT WE DO

“Branding Tells Your Story, PR Amplifies It.”

At SMTPR we understand the difference between Branding and PR! For starters, Branding tells the message (story) behind your business, while PR amplifies (spreads/heightens) the reach of that story to your desired audience. Learn more about our structure and service offerings below.

Frequently Asked Questions


“What is the difference between Branding & PR?”

Branding makes up the authentic values, messaging and visual identity of your business. PR shares that identity strategically to grow the visibility of your brand among its target audience.


“Is PR still relevant? Do I need that and social media?"

Spoiler alert: In PR there are no guarantees. The truth is, Public Relations is as relevant to your brand as your desire to grow in reach and visibility. The results aren’t as linear as investing in a digital Ad. Although Social Media on its’ own is not an effective publicity strategy, it can be enhanced by an intentional PR strategy. A multifaceted approach could be the next step in reaching your brand’s visibility goals and maintaining its impact for the future.

Ps. Did you know that you need media coverage to earn a Blue check on Instagram?


“What exactly is a Creative Director?”

Creative Directors play many roles in bringing a brand’s vision to life, but their primary role is managerial. At SMTPR we ensure all creative aspects of a project have been considered. When guiding an idea from thought to completion, the Creative Director has a hand in it all.
