The formula behind every campaign
To build real brand awareness, you have to gain visibility first to earn credibility, and that eventually achieves profitability. It’s a sequence, not a shortcut, and the brands that commit to it are the ones that build something that lasts.
PR is not a sales channel. As a celebrity gifting agency and full-service PR firm, chatterbox builds the foundation that makes every other sales channel work better. When your brand shows up in Forbes, in the hands of an A-list celebrity, or on the big screen, something shifts. Customers who find you already trust you. That’s not a coincidence. That’s credibility doing its job.
Amy Bartko has been building visibility for lifestyle, baby, parenting, beauty, and wellness brands for 20+ years. She founded chatterbox PR & Marketing in 2013 on one belief: that great brands deserve to be seen, and that honest PR beats overpromising every time. She still believes that on every single campaign she runs.
Whether you want a team behind you executing every piece of your visibility strategy, or you want to learn the system and run it yourself, there is a path here that fits where you are right now.
You have a product that deserves to be in front of the right customers and decision-makers. PR builds the third-party validation that makes that happen. When your brand shows up in the right publications, in the hands of the right people, and on the right screens, consumers don't just find you. They already trust you before they buy.
Leverage PR-driven content and digital storytelling to enhance engagement.
That’s third-party validation. And that’s what chatterbox builds.
Chatterbox offers boutique PR and marketing services designed to help brands get seen, including media relations and press placements, podcast bookings, celebrity and influencer gifting, product placement in TV and film, PR consulting, and strategic brand visibility.
Most brands start seeing early placements within the first 60 to 90 days, but meaningful momentum, the kind that builds credibility and changes how a brand is perceived, typically takes six to twelve months. That’s why chatterbox requires a minimum six-month commitment. A 30-day sprint can generate a placement. A sustained campaign builds a brand reputation.
NO, and any PR agency that does is making a promise they can’t keep. Earned media is exactly that: earned. What chatterbox guarantees is senior-level attention, real media relationships, and a strategy built around your specific brand and goals. Our track record includes Forbes, Good Morning America, The Today Show, The New York Times, Netflix, and celebrity placements with talent including Kate Hudson, Kim Kardashian, and Mandy Moore, among many others across 20+ years of campaigns. That’s not a guarantee, it’s proof of what consistent, relationship-driven work produces over time.
Chatterbox works with three types of clients, and all three go through the same values-fit check before engagement begins. Product-based lifestyle brands ready to build national visibility, typically doing $500K and up, with a product and story worth putting in front of major media and A-list talent. Thought leaders, authors, and experts actively growing their platform, speakers, consultants, and founders who need consistent podcast bookings, tier-one media, and the kind of credibility that justifies higher fees and bigger opportunities. And mission-driven organizations and nonprofits working to amplify their impact, organizations like the Family Online Safety Institute, where the PR strategy has to move both public audiences and policy conversations simultaneously. If Amy wouldn’t personally use, recommend, or feel genuinely excited about the work, it’s not a fit, regardless of budget.
