The newsroom map
The New York media landscape
A pitch here goes to Crain's New York Business, the New York Post, the Daily News, amNewYork, Gothamist, Time Out New York, and the newsrooms at NY1, PIX11, Fox 5, and WNBC.
The trades carry as much weight: WWD on fashion, American Banker on finance, Adweek and Ad Age on the agency world, The Real Deal on property. Then there is the part no other city gives you. Bloomberg, Business Insider, and most national desks sit in the same zip codes, so one story can run local and national in the same week.

The numbers we bring to New York
New York is a national stage that looks like a local one, so the work worth showing here is the Forbes program: 50+ placements across 12+ industries, with a first opportunity usually inside 4 to 8 weeks. About the Forbes campaign.
One anonymized campaign returned 4,200+ visits and a 38% lift in branded search. That is what a byline keeps paying out after the news cycle moves on.

The invoice
What PR costs in New York
Most firms sell a monthly retainer, bill you for meetings, and hand the account to someone junior.
New York retainers run $10,000 to $25,000 a month, and the established Midtown firms rarely quote under $20,000.
We price per placement instead: publications from around $95, ranked listicle spots from around $400 by position, broadcast segments from $700 by market size, print pages from $1,400, and Forbes campaigns scoped and priced in writing before kickoff. You see the outlet, its audience, the turnaround time, and whether it is sponsored before you approve it. See the full rate card.

Questions
Asked before a New York campaign
Anything else, email [email protected] and it comes back in 1 to 2 hours.
New York retainers run $10,000 to $25,000 a month and the established firms here rarely start under $20,000. We bill by placement instead: publications from around $95, listicles from $400, broadcast from $700, print pages from $1,400, Forbes campaigns priced in writing before kickoff. The refund sits behind the agreed targets.
No. Our only office is in Austin, Texas, and New York accounts are run remotely by senior people. Editors here open hundreds of pitches a day and none of them get sorted by area code. What gets read is a story that desk was already chasing.
Placements by outlet tier, audience reached, branded search lift, referral traffic, and how many of those turn into conversations with buyers. You get one monthly report, written by the person doing the pitching. A hit report on its own is not a result.
You get your money back. Outlet tiers, deliverables, and timelines are agreed before kickoff, and if we do not deliver what we committed to on the timeline we committed to, you are refunded. That commitment is in the contract, not in a sales call.
