PR Services in Phoenix and Scottsdale
Proof Publicity provides public relations services to companies in Phoenix, Scottsdale and across Arizona, plus national brands that want an Arizona presence. Our services include earned media relations, brand partnerships and collaborations, influencer and creator campaigns, awards and speaking engagements, crisis and internal communications, activations and events, and organic social media. Every service below is delivered by a PR manager with ten or more years of experience, and every engagement is reported against the goals we set at the start.
Our Services Include
Earned Media and Media Relations
Proof Publicity pitches and places client stories with local Arizona outlets and national press. We spend the time to learn which outlets actually reach your buyer, across broadcast, print, digital and podcasts, then build real relationships with those reporters on your behalf. We monitor the news every day so your name is in front of a journalist while the story is still moving, not a week later. You get placements you can point to, with the audience numbers attached.
Brand Partnerships and Collaborations
Proof Publicity builds partnerships between our clients and brands that already have their audience’s trust. We identify the local or national brands whose customers look like yours, then structure a collaboration that gives both sides something real to promote: a co-branded product, a shared event, a limited run. For ResortPass we created a physical product with Kaleidoscope Juice, a Scottsdale brand, which earned coverage on its own.
Influencer and Creator Campaigns
Proof Publicity finds, vets and manages the influencers and content creators whose audiences match your customer. We vet on engagement, past branded content performance and audience demographics rather than follower count, and we give creators enough freedom that the content does not read like an ad. Then we report what it did. For BB Living, a three-market creator campaign across Arizona, Texas and Florida generated more than 400,000 views in three months.
Awards and Speaking Engagements
Proof Publicity nominates clients and their executives for the awards and speaking platforms that carry weight in their industry. We build the calendar, write the submissions and manage the deadlines. In 2026 Proof Publicity supported two executive awards for Recovery Centers of America leaders, a Philadelphia Business Journal Corporate Leadership Award and a Baltimore Business Journal Diverse Business Leaders honor.
Crisis and Internal Communications
Proof Publicity handles crisis and issues communications for organizations facing media scrutiny, and the internal communications that go with it. We prepare the plan and the spokesperson before anything happens, and when something does we handle the reporter, the statement and the sequence of who hears what and when. Proof Publicity has provided crisis and issues counsel for organizations in property management, investment, healthcare, homebuilding, financial services, restaurants and fitness.
Activations, PR Stunts and Events
Proof Publicity concepts and produces activations, stunts, pop-ups and events built to earn coverage, not just fill a room. We start from what a reporter or a creator would actually want to show up for, then handle production, media invitations and follow-through. For ResortPass, Proof Publicity built a co-branded spa activation at The Scottsdale Resort and Spa that hosted 27 Phoenix lifestyle influencers.
Organic Social Media
Proof Publicity runs organic social media for public relations clients, turning earned coverage and campaigns into content on your own channels. We handle strategy, content calendars, creative and reporting across Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook and TikTok. Proof Publicity does not run paid social advertising. For eeCPA, Proof Publicity grew monthly Instagram reach 1,123 percent, from 430 accounts reached in November 2025 to 5,257 in July 2026.
How Proof Publicity works with clients
Most Proof Publicity engagements are ongoing monthly retainers that start with a written PR strategy built around your business goals, not a list of tactics. From there we execute, report monthly on what ran and what it reached, and adjust. Full service support covers strategy, targeted outreach across international, national, regional, local and B2B media, press release development and distribution, newsjacking, awards and speaking, activations and stunts, brand collaborations, crisis communications, influencer marketing, UGC management and event concepting. We take on defined projects for short-term PR engagements when we have capacity.

Advertising is space you buy and control. Public relations is coverage you earn, which means a journalist, a creator or an awards committee decided your story was worth telling. It carries more credibility and it lasts longer in search and in AI answers, because the article stays online with someone else’s name on it.
