What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

Nationally, 283,380 public relations specialists earn a median of $74,750 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2024). In a market that size, the businesses that win the better work don't lead with the lowest number — they lead with a credible, current capability card. That's exactly what we build.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Federal agencies obligated $1.8B in Advertising Agencies contracts in FY2024 (USAspending.gov). When a contracting officer or prime sizes up a small business, a living capability card — cert status, NAICS coverage, SAM registration, core offerings, all current — is exactly what they expect to see. We build yours to land in that lane.
