PR for the modern era

We bring PR, marketing, and communications together to tell unified brand stories.

Connecting you with audiences that matter

Brand and media landscapes are increasingly complex. Brands are less and less siloed and our attention to media is more and more fragmented. There are no straight lines in business or in marketing, and we capitalize on that.

We are fiercely honest, we get sh*t done, and we do the right thing.

There’s more to PR than media coverage

Our unified approach

Reaching audiences that will propel your business forward is both an art and a science. It’s being creative with your message and thinking analytically about your impact. By focusing on quality over quantity, we tell the stories that matter most to you.

Uncover business insight

No PR campaign exists alone. We strive to understand your vision by asking the right questions and listening not just to the assignment, but to your broader goals. We dig in and find opportunities where others may not.

Apply marketing know-how

Our experience working in fully integrated roles allows us to identify opportunities and risks outside the typical PR box. We only recommend spending money on things that move the needle. Bring us into your existing team or let us take the lead on a project.

Build with audiences in mind

We bring it all together with a deep understanding of how media works now. We unify your story in the fragmented landscape by finding the right angles. We have a ton of solid relationships, but will always build a new one when we have a great story to tell.

There’s no B team

We don’t follow the traditional team model that has a few high-profile execs with an invisible collection of people behind the scenes. At Hail Mary! we each have relationships with clients and media and we each drive strategies.

 

We’re lean

No agency bloat here—we are relentlessly efficient. We are an integrated team that works collaboratively with each other and our clients. We ditch what’s “always been done” and focus on delivering value.

We keep it simple, yet smart

Our ideas are sophisticated, but we don’t get caught up in industry jargon or complicated plans. There is no magic curtain with Hail Mary!, we are accessible and approachable. We are who we say we are and hold ourselves to that standard.

We thrive together, always

There is a Minnesota saying: We all do better when we all do better. We abide by that. For us, our team is greater than the sum of its parts, and that includes how we partner with you.
