Entrepreneurs and founders with stories worth telling at a national scale
What unites these clients is not their industry. It is their ambition. They have something meaningful to say, a product worth
knowing about, or a story that belongs in front of a national audience, and they need a leading Los Angeles publicist with the relationships, the strategy, and the personal commitment to make that happen.
What Does a Top Los Angeles Publicist Do For Your Business and Your Expertise?
At the core of every ShapiroPR campaign is earned media: coverage secured through relationships, strategy, and storytelling
rather than paid placement or advertising spend. Earned media carries a credibility that no paid campaign can replicate
because it represents a journalist, editor, producer, or host independently deciding that your story is worth telling to their audience.
ShapiroPR builds on that earned media foundation with integrated digital marketing, SEO strategy, social media support, and content creation where campaigns call for it. The result is a comprehensive approach to visibility that works across platforms and compounds over time. Whether the goal is a national television appearance, a feature in a major publication, a sustained social media presence, or a combination of all three, ShapiroPR builds the strategy around what your specific situation requires.
From there, the work is relentless and personal. Pitching the right journalists, building the right angles, securing the right placements, and sustaining the momentum that turns a single feature into a media record that follows you for years.
ShapiroPR has placed clients in CNN, NPR, the New York Times, the Today Show, People Magazine, Forbes, Deadline Hollywood, the Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Elle, GQ, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, Reuters, the Associated Press, ABC News, CBS News, Fox News, MSNBC, USA Today, Howard Stern, Publisher's Weekly, Variety, the Hollywood Reporter, and hundreds of additional national, regional, and trade publications across every platform: broadcast, digital, print, and podcast.

What Makes ShapiroPR Different from Other Los Angeles PR Firms?
Los Angeles has no shortage of public relations firms. What it has fewer of are leading publicists who combine genuine national media relationships with the kind of personal attention that simply does not exist at larger agencies.
Here is the structural reality at most PR firms. Your account is assigned to a team. That team has a senior strategist who may meet with you occasionally, a mid-level account manager who runs your day-to-day, and junior associates who execute the actual pitching and outreach. The senior person whose name and relationships sold you on the firm is often the last person actively working on your campaign. The larger the firm, the deeper you sit in that stack.
At ShapiroPR there is no stack. There is one lead: Kelila Shapiro, the founder and one of Los Angeles's most experienced boutique publicists. She develops your strategy, writes your pitches, maintains the media relationships, and makes the calls that place your story. When your campaign needs to reach a producer at the Today Show, a books editor at the New York Times, or a digital editor at Forbes, that call comes from the person who built those relationships over 25 years. Not a junior associate learning the ropes on your timeline.
ShapiroPR works with a deliberately limited number of clients each year. That is not a sales tactic. It is the only way to deliver the level of attention every client deserves. If you have ever felt lost inside a larger agency or handed off to someone who did not know your story, ShapiroPR was built as the alternative to that experience.
ShapiroPR is recognized as one of the top boutique public relations firms in Los Angeles and Southern California, and as a top PR agency in California. Featured in PRWeek, the firm has maintained that standing not through self-promotion but through 25 years of consistent national media placements for clients across every industry it serves.
