For over two decades, Garis PR has been helping turn books into best-sellers, people into celebrities and businesses into national names. With an extensive and award winning track record, our innovative agency has an unmatched reputation for promotion success. We book today's most popular and influential broadcast and print media. We enable clients to affordably reach millions of people. From first time publicity seekers to major stars, our diverse clientele extends worldwide. We're experts at creating or controlling the buzz.

Have you noticed that every famous personality or cutting edge business now has a publicist? That's no coincidence. As USA Today said, "Publicity is becoming like politics and people are realizing that fame doesn't happen accidentally." The reality is, you must have effective representation -- a publicist with the right contacts and a well developed relationship with the media. An established publicist is your link to the decision makers that otherwise would be nearly impossible to reach. Garis PR has the most valuable contacts book in the industry.

We serve both domestic and international clients. Anything from the release of a new book or film, to the opening of a unique business can become news. A skilled publicist knows how to negotiate with the media in order to book clients for maximum promotion. There is no such thing as truly effective do-it-yourself publicity. It takes years of experience to know how the game is really played. That's why every major celebrity, best-selling author and top name company has representation. After all, it's not just about the quantity of media, it's also about the quality. Compare the level of media our clients are receiving to that of other publicity seekers.

Our agency prides itself on a long and successful history. There are many publicists and PR firms, but only a handful on the media's "A-list." We guide our clients with a personal approach, experienced counsel and focused strategy. We're the agency of choice for many of today's most recognized entertainment stars, authors, models and entrepreneurs.
 

"Trying to get the major media without a highly connected publicist, would be like an actor trying to make it in Hollywood without an agent."
