What clients are saying...

“When I started working with Smith Publicity I had no media platform for my book launch. No articles, no podcasts, and no written or live interviews. I started this process feeling anxious and unprepared. That all changed once I started working with the team at Smith. They helped me create a media-ready website, amazing pitch materials, secured a tremendous amount of coverage of me and the book, and most importantly, gave me confidence. As a Latina, we don’t often see our stories told in the media. Many of us feel invisible. Smith helped me build a platform to tell my story.?You cannot be what you can’t see and Smith helped me become visible so that other Latinas can feel seen.?Representation matters and I am so grateful to have worked with the amazing team at Smith Publicity.”
