Many individuals and businesses feel they can't afford public relations during these recessionary times. At Kathryn Kates Public Relations, a boutique firm...we feel public relations is something you can't afford not to have.

Like other firms, we offer full-blown public relation campaigns, but for those who are on a budget or get a charge of of being PR DIY'ers...we are here for you too. With our piecemeal PR offerings, we help our clients fill in the gaps.

Here's how it works--hire us for a minimum of two hours and up, to help you orchestrate your traditional public relations needs, be it to write a press release, compose an announcement, media pitching, consulting on direction or perhaps your next event, and so much more. Then you can take the ball and roll with it, or bring our team on board.
