I cannot recommend Julie and Accentuate Public Relations. If I do, I will reveal my secret weapon. I know this sounds selfish, and it is. I’ve worked with Julie for many years and with many different companies. Both public and private. Julie and her team have the skill and temperament to manage difficult media circumstances for unrealistic, difficult clients. Julie is my go-to partner in every marketing journey I go on. I’ve hired and fired the largest and most recognized public relations firms representing public and non-public companies. These large firms tend to be more concerned with billable hours than doing what’s best for the client at hand. I discovered Accentuate PR, Julie Shepherd, and her team ten years ago and will never work with a large PR firm again. Accentuate understands how to tell your story, amplify your narrative, and deliver authentic and meaningful results. Trust them, and they will overdeliver.

Julie Shepherd is the quintessential public relations guru. I worked with Julie so effectively for years doing PR and prepping for interviews, that I brought her to a new start up where she helped us launch our app and prepare us for the next one.

Having worked with Julie Shepherd/Accentuate PR for over 15 years across multiple companies, I can attest to the timely and professional quality of their services.

Whether it has been developing strategy and executing promotion for our David Bowie VR platform, multi-year patent litigation, business developments or B2C products, Julie has been available at all hours and the work has been comprehensive, succinct and effective. Julie’s awareness of regulatory requirements for SEC public statements is exemplary.

When considering a PR firm with a quick turnaround and highly polished product, I would strongly recommend Accentuate.
