Publicize was founded back in 2013 with a single mission: to offer high quality PR and media coverage to startups and entrepreneurs who were priced out of a broken PR industry.
PR For Growth is what we call our brand of PR.
We approach PR differently to legacy agencies. We don’t charge large retainers or simply send out press releases when you have something to announce. Instead, we’ve taken a transparent and modular approach to PR, where you only pay for what you need.
We still like to consider ourselves a startup. This mentality runs through everything we do, from our continuous innovation to our possible attitude.
And being based in Medellin, Colombia, one of Latin America’s fastest growing tech and innovation hubs, we’ve built an international team of PR experts.
This includes native English speaking writers, journalists, strategists, and marketing specialists from more than 15 countries.
We bring visibility and attention geared towards growth to initiatives, projects and people from all around the world and in all stages of their business/process.
We fulfill our purpose by providing support, value and expertise to startup and entrepreneurial ecosystems in all continents. We want to become the default communications service for the industry.
We offer four different PR packages: Basic, Growth, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus.
Here’s a breakdown of our different PR packages:

Furthermore, if you’re a larger company, we can come in and identify PR tactics to take you to the next level.
We operate in an organic earned media style, as opposed to sponsored posts.
Therefore, the journalists we pitch to are in total control of what content gets picked up and what doesn’t.
However, we do guarantee a specific schedule of work based on our tried-and-tested Publicize methods.
The more effort you put into your engagement with us, the faster you’ll start getting real results.
It’s not unusual to see results in the first month. However, it’s best to come prepared for the first three months’ focus to be on a killer baseline of work.
