JMG Public Relations

Based in New York City, this firm works with founders, startups, and industry innovators seeking to build public visibility rather than established corporations with legacy brand recognition. Founded in 2015, the agency positions itself specifically toward early-stage companies and individuals looking to establish a narrative and gain traction in their industry, a focus reflected in its founder-authored guide "You Need PR," aimed at early-stage companies building their first PR strategy. The team, sized between 11 and 50 people, describes its clients as founders, industry leaders, and innovators shaping emerging sectors, and frames its role as a long-term partner rather than a project-based vendor. The agency's stated services span public relations, search engine optimization, and social media marketing, with particular emphasis on media relations, thought leadership placement, and visual/content storytelling. A distinguishing element of its described methodology is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), an approach aimed at improving client visibility within AI-generated search results, alongside more traditional search engine ranking work. The firm describes combining human-led strategy with data-backed insights to shape campaigns, using outreach and targeting intended to support fundraising efforts, sales growth, and employee retention through brand storytelling. Content production covers visual assets and social media alongside earned media placements, with the stated aim of building authority for clients across both conventional and AI-driven search and media channels.
