What People Are Saying
“With a tight timeline and short notice Pronto PR jumped in to support our team’s fundraising efforts for a local family close to our hearts. In just one week, enough placement was secured with local media to help us raise a little over $10,000 for a family who had just lost their son to leukemia. We are truly grateful for the team and their willingness to work on this project with us.”
— Michael Phillips, Owner of Phillips Farms of Cary.
“I appreciate you and your work, Laina. You helped us in ways we didn’t know we needed. Thank you!”
— Natalie Pass-Miller, Owner of The Historic Magnolia House.
“I’m very appreciative of the visibility and opportunities Laina has given me, my family, and my restaurants over the past two years. I will always do what I can to share our experience working together with the hopes that it leads to new clients for Pronto PR.”
— Chris Viaud, Owner and Chef of Ansanm, Greenleaf, and Pavilion.
“Laina, I'm very grateful for the work you've put into our partnership and look forward to hitching up again when the time is right. Thank you!”
— John Lavin, owner of Blue Ridge Inn Bed & Breakfast
“Where have you been all my life?! I appreciate all of your hard work! You are the best publicist I’ve ever had.”
— Adjoya Courtney, also known as Chef Joya, Owner & Chef of Cooking with Joya
“I value Laina, her brilliant skill set, and our relationship. Thanks to Laina, me and my team have been recognized in so many amazing publications. My pop-up, Mattie’s Front Porch, was named Best Pop-Up in Best in the Nest 2022, and I was even named Charlottean of the Year 2022!.”
— Lisa Brooks, Owner & Chef of Heart & Soul and Mattie’s Front Porch
“We have been skeptical of the efficacies of PR since having less than desirable results in past experiences. Not only did Laina make us feel comfortable and confident in our partnership, she constantly went above and beyond and acted like a true part of our team, never failing to deliver. Her professionalism and results are leagues above others in her field.”
— Ricky Dolinsky, Owner & Chef of Yo+Shoku and Paper Planes
“Laina is very professional, detail-oriented, and extremely helpful. She’s become more of a friend than a partner since we started working together. Looking forward to continuing our partnership in the new year.”
— German Rizzo, Owner & Chef of L’Artista Italian Kitchen & Bar
“Choosing to work with Pronto PR was the best decision this year! Supportive, knowledgeable, and always available to help, Laina became an important asset and we felt her as part of our family. Cannot thank her enough for all the work she's done. 100% recommended!”
— Liliana Mascolo, Communications & Guest Relations Manager of Hotel Poseidon Positano
“While unfamiliar with the world of PR, I've been doing business for a long time. The value of what you've done for me and my business far exceeds the invoice you sent me. You've done an outstanding job and I couldn't be happier with your work. Moreover, it has been a pleasure to work with you (not that it's over by any means). And as far as including you in further work by the Chamber or other restaurants in this and other efforts, rest assured that you will be the only PR person I recommend going forward. I do this, not because I like you (which, of course, I do), but because I like the people I hope to refer you to. I want them to get someone who will have as big an impact on their business as you have had on mine. Thanks so much for all of your efforts thus far.”
— Paul Vagianos, Owner of It’s Greek to Me
“Pronto PR is always a pleasure to work with! They have taken my small business and gave it worldwide exposure! Thank you, Pronto!!”
— Ryan Zawojski, Owner of RYZ Designs
“I’ve never worked with a PR rep before Laina at Pronto. Laina offered to pitch my business to a writer at Martha Stewart for a relevant opportunity, which landed us in two separate pieces of coverage. These two articles brought in tons of new customers and gave us new exposure. We’re grateful for her hard work and passion for helping small businesses like mine.”
— Fran Lauretta, Owner of Creations by Fran Flowers and More
“Before working with Laina at Pronto, I didn’t really understand how to use social media platforms to benefit and grow my business. She was very thorough in her explanations and really made it easier to understand. She helped design branding materials and plan content, and explained hashtag strategy and other useful tools that I didn’t know of before. I love Laina’s positive energy and innovative ideas. I completely trust her and can’t wait to work with her again! “
