Erica Bethe Levin, Founder and CEO, Globowl
“Although I've always considered myself PR savvy, traditional PR hasn't always felt like it was working. Tracy armed me with the tools I needed to do it the right way, on my own, and it's been more effective than anything else we've ever tried. She goes above and beyond to support her clients, celebrates every win, and even makes sure we all have fun along the way.”

FAQs
I have no PR expierence. Is this still a good fit?
Absolutely. Most of our clients lack PR experience when they start Empowered PR. Throughout our unique 1:1 program, we’ll teach you how PR works and ultimately how to do PR like the pros.
I don’t have a lot of time for PR. What do you suggest?
No problem. A junior-level employee or a virtual assistant can run the customized PR system that we create for you through this program. We can also match you with a VA trained by us to handle your PR tasks.
Is this for B2B or B2C businesses?
Both. Empowered PR is vertical agnostic. We have experience supporting clients in every major industry. See our case studies.
Will I need to hire a publicist after I do this program?
No. We create everything that a publicist would create for you — except we give everything to you and teach you exactly what to do. You’ll have the systems and templates to get attention on your terms.
