The McRae Agency

Verified

We Build Buzz for Businesses

The McRae Agency is a full-service PR and marketing firm founded in 1996 by Beth McRae. Beth came from a large worldwide agency and saw how clients were treated. They would meet the agency head and VPs and never see them again. The work was handed off to junior-level people. Beth has a different approach. She is involved in every single account as the senior most person. This makes The McRae Agency different from other agencies. Beth also has an MBA, highly unusual in her field. She hires the brightest most talented people to work with her and provide excellent client service. One of the clients has been with the agency since 1996, a testament to the agency's ability to continuously deliver the highest level of service.

PrimeGuide Partners is a boutique marketing and public relations agency based in NYC serving hospitality, wellness, lifestyle, retail, and creative entrepreneur brands across the U.S. and beyond. Founded by Melissa “Mel” Ortiz, a Filipino-American storyteller with more than 20 years of experience across global hospitality and consumer brands, PrimeGuide operates at the intersection of strategic communications, brand building, digital growth, creative innovation, and cultural insight. The agency is a certified Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE), named New York’s Best U.S. Digital Marketing Agency by DesignRush in 2021 and recognized as a Top Firm by 50Pros in Spring 2026. To date, PrimeGuide has supported more than 40 women entrepreneurs. What sets PrimeGuide apart is not just its capabilities, but its approach. Rooted in “kapwa,” the Filipino concept of shared identity and interconnectedness, the agency treats every client as a true partner. Campaigns are collaborative, relationships are direct, and the work is designed for long-term impact. The Founder’s Story To understand PrimeGuide, you have to understand Mel Ortiz. Born to Filipino parents and raised between Japan, San Diego, Hawaii, and Manila, Mel grew up navigating different cultures and communities. She studied journalism at the University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines, where she developed a foundation in storytelling and strategic communication. Before moving into senior marketing leadership, Mel built her career from the operational side of hospitality, holding roles across Marriott, Hyatt, and Hilton properties including staff accountant, night auditor, operations manager, and revenue and reservations manager. That operational background gave her firsthand insight into guest experience, revenue strategy, and the realities of running hospitality businesses. She later held marketing leadership roles at Hyatt Centric Times Square, helped launch the viral Bar 54 rooftop igloo activation, and supported the $22.5 million renovation campaign for Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, generating 2.93 billion media impressions. She also served as Executive Assistant at Hyatt Regency San Francisco and led Global Social Media Marketing at Hyatt and EOS Products. After more than two decades inside hospitality, lifestyle, and consumer brands, Mel founded PrimeGuide Partners to provide founders and emerging brands access to senior-level strategy, storytelling, and marketing expertise often reserved for major corporations. Philosophy and Approach PrimeGuide believes marketing should build trust, not just visibility. Every campaign is designed to support long-term brand equity through authentic storytelling, strategic positioning, and meaningful audience connection. The agency focuses on sustainable growth. SEO strategies are paired with evergreen content programs, PR efforts prioritize credibility over vanity metrics, and brand positioning work is designed to create clarity that lasts beyond a single campaign cycle. Services and Capabilities PrimeGuide offers integrated marketing and PR services tailored for boutique and growth-stage brands, including: • Public Relations and Brand Strategy — media relations, press releases, editorial pitching, influencer partnerships, crisis communications, competitive audits, positioning, and message development. • SEO, AI Visibility, and Paid Search — search optimization, AI search visibility strategies, SEM campaigns, and performance marketing support. • Social Media and Content Marketing — content creation, brand storytelling, campaign development, community engagement, and digital strategy. • Experiential Marketing and Partnerships — launch events, activations, strategic collaborations, and community-driven experiences. • Creative Direction and Brand Development — visual storytelling, campaign concepts, brand identity refinement, and creative consulting. PrimeGuide’s work spans hospitality, wellness, beauty, food and beverage, retail, and founder-led businesses, with a focus on helping brands grow through culturally informed storytelling, strategic communications, and meaningful audience engagement.

The Atticism

The Atticism is a modern PR and brand development agency helping companies build reputation, visibility and influence across global markets.

The Atticism is a global public relations agency specialising in earned media, brand reputation and founder positioning. But we don’t operate like a traditional PR agency. We built The Atticism around a simple belief. The best PR happens when the people designing the strategy are the same people executing it. That is why our teams stay intentionally small and senior. No layers of junior account managers, no endless internal handoffs. Just experienced strategists working directly with clients. We are also big believers that public relations should not rely on mass press releases and vanity metrics. Instead, we focus on strong storytelling, real journalist relationships and media coverage that actually builds credibility. Our campaigns often centre around founder visibility, industry expertise and thought leadership. We help brands turn their knowledge into influence by placing them in the conversations journalists are already writing about. Founded in Australia and now working globally with teams in Sydney, London and Europe, we partner with entrepreneurs, hospitality groups, property developers and consumer brands looking for something smarter than traditional PR. Our goal is simple. Help interesting brands become impossible to ignore.

We collaborated with prestigious publishers helping them plan upcoming stories. Our goal is to help journalists create stories that are more meaningful, shared, and commented on.

We have placed client stories in virtually every major business media outlet, including on the covers of publications such as Inc., CIO, Success, and Fortune.

Our clients have received coverage they never thought was possible leading to billions of dollars in funding and acquisitions. WE HAVE PROOF!

Pointman News Creation

Victory Over Vanilla PR!

We Won’t Do Vanilla PR (and We Won’t Let You Do it Either!) Pointman News Creation has a 25-year history of consistently beating the odds, innovating with media-dominating pitches and creating some of the most widely seen and discussed media stories of the past two decades for our varied clients. That leads to major visibility and credibility for our clients from trusted third-party media sources online, on tv, on radio and in print. From real estate to beds in a box, from travel to fashion, insurance to financial advisors, ethical hackers and beef jerky flowers and gluten-free bread to poultry plant whistleblowers ... we've done it all! No, It's Not Cause We 'Know a Guy at The National Post/Forbes/CBC/or CNN!' Having worked as a journalist at 3 national broadcast news networks, our Founder, Patrick McCaully, personally knows a lot of media. That's a good thing, but no one does a story because they like you; the least number of journalists are generating the most content in history; it all comes down to the 'gravitas' of the campaign idea and tactically creating legitimately newsworthy pitches that the media can (and does) get excited about. We Believe in a 'Trojan Horse' Approach! The best pr pitches get you past the gates, in front of the media and ultimately score you the earned media coverage you deserve. So be bold, go big and work with Pointman to do something truly different. The Best Idea Wins
