"No one else even comes close to delivering the results publicist R. J. Garis does. Simply put, he is the best." – Jay Jacobs,VP • William Morris Agency - Endeavor Entertainment ( Los Angeles - New York ) – . USA Today said, "Publicity is becoming like politics and people are realizing that fame does not happen accidentally." Working with a powerful and highly experienced publicist is the key. It's not about sending press releases. The top level media receives thousands of releases each day. It's about having a publicist with well developed relationships, personal access and influence. Publicists provide a link to decision makers that otherwise would be impossible to reach. Just like the rest of show business, it's about who you know. In addition to our prime media contacts, we have an established network of top agents, managers and attorneys to assist clients in all aspects of the industry. . We offer customized publicist rates (and short-term trial / launch campaigns) to fit the client's budget and situation. We enjoy building new careers and brands, as well as working with established personalities. There are many publicists and PR firms, but only a small handful on the media's A-list. We guide our clients with a personal approach, skilled counsel and a focused strategy. We are proud to be the publicists of choice for some of today's most recognized names. . .
