Cover! Covers! Covers!

We were spending a little time doing some TO Media Co public relations housekeeping the other day and we found some past articles that we have done. Some of the ones that I love the most, were the covers of magazines that we have gotten for our clients -- for any publicist, a cover of a magazine is a huge feather in our cap and a life changing moment for our clients.

Before we started our own boutique PR firm here in Orange County, Lauren used to handle severval TV shows for NBC so her covers relate to the talent and the shows themselves. I used to work on the Frederick's of Hollywood account so my magazine covers mostly include beautiful celebrities in the their underwear! Those were some seriously fun days.

For a little walk down memory lane, I have posted some of them here. Enjoy.






To Boutique Or Not

Bigger is better, right? Not always. I like to think our boutique PR firm in Costa Mesa - TO Media Co - is just right.

When our clients call they get either Lauren or me - the two principles. We put our hearts and souls into every client's company and because we are a small team, we are personally invested in their message. Our faith in our clients and their products, I believe, gives us an edge and helps us get better results

Here's to the little guy.
