San Francisco Clients. Los Angeles Reach. National Results.

             What ShapiroPR offers San Francisco clients
ShapiroPR is a Los Angeles-based boutique public relations firm serving San Francisco authors, executives, speakers, and subject matter experts who are ready for national media coverage. Founded by Kelila Shapiro, the practice has more than 20 years of experience securing placements in CNN, NPR, the New York Times, GQ, Deadline Hollywood, BBC, and the Wall Street Journal. Every client works directly with the founder. ShapiroPR accepts a limited number of new clients each year. San Francisco clients receive the same senior-level, personally managed campaigns as every ShapiroPR engagement.

The best publicist for your brand is not always the closest one.

ShapiroPR is based in Los Angeles — where national media relationships are built, where entertainment and publishing intersect, and where two decades of placement experience translate directly into results for clients who are ready to be seen. We work with a select roster of San Francisco authors, executives, speakers, and experts who have outgrown local visibility and are ready for something larger.

Los Angeles is the media capital of the West. The relationships that land clients in the New York Times, on NPR, in Deadline Hollywood, in GQ, and across national broadcast do not live in every market. They live here. For San Francisco clients, those relationships travel. The geography works in your favor, not against it.

Every engagement is handled personally by founder Kelila Shapiro. There are no junior staff, no account handoffs, no automated reporting decks. You hear from me when something is happening, because something is always happening. To learn more about the person behind every ShapiroPR campaign, visit our biography page.

ShapiroPR works with San Francisco clients who are serious about building lasting national media presence, including:

  • Authors launching books and building long-term reader platforms

  • Executives and business leaders developing thought leadership visibility

  • Public speakers and keynote presenters seeking national media and speaking opportunities

  • Subject matter experts establishing authority and credibility in their field

  • Entrepreneurs and founders with a story worth telling at scale

  • Professionals in law, finance, health, wellness, and business that are ready for earned media

  • Individuals with compelling personal narratives ready to share them with a larger audience

 

What these clients have in common is not their industry. It is their readiness. They have something meaningful to say and they need the right publicist to bridge the gap between ideas and the public.

 

 

 

 

 

                 What PR Services Does ShapiroPR Offer San Francisco Clients?

 

ShapiroPR offers a focused suite of services designed to build visibility, establish authority, and generate national press coverage that opens doors and compounds over time. Every campaign is custom-built around the client, the goal, and the moment.
 

Book Publicity and Author Campaigns
Publishing a book is a milestone. Getting it into the right readers, media outlets, and decision-makers' hands takes more than a launch announcement. ShapiroPR works with first-time authors and seasoned writers to build visibility and create long-term personal brands through strategic PR and media outreach. Services include print and digital features, TV segments, podcast placements, expert commentary, and targeted media outreach designed to position your book and your voice where they will be heard.
ShapiroPR author campaigns have produced coverage on Good Morning America, CNN, NPR, MSNBC, and Headline News, and have driven Amazon bestseller rankings in the US, Canada, and Great Britain. Read more about what a ShapiroPR book publicity campaign looks like. For San Francisco authors ready to reach a national audience, our book publicity and author PR campaigns are built around your goals, your voice, and the story only you can tell.


Expert and Thought Leader Positioning
Being the best in your field is not enough if the right people do not know you exist. ShapiroPR works with subject matter experts, attorneys, mental health professionals, financial leaders, and specialists across industries to build a consistent media presence over time. We craft strategic media roadmaps, secure expert commentary placements, and position you as the credible, quotable voice in your space. Our media relations and PR services reach the publications, broadcasts, and platforms your target audience actually consumes. For San Francisco professionals who want their reputation to reflect the depth of what they actually know, this is where that work begins.

 

Speaker and Platform Development
Many ShapiroPR clients come to us ready to grow beyond their current platform. TEDx speakers, keynote presenters, panel participants, and thought leaders who want their public profile to open doors to larger stages and broader audiences. ShapiroPR builds the media presence that attracts speaking opportunities, develops the narrative that makes bookers take notice, and creates the sustained visibility that turns one stage into many. If you are a San Francisco-based speaker ready to expand your reach nationally, we know how to build that case in the press.

 

Executive and Brand Reputation Management
Your public profile is one of your most valuable professional assets. ShapiroPR works with executives, founders, and public figures to build and protect reputations through earned media, strategic narrative development, and proactive media positioning. Our reputation management services are built around discretion, strategy, and a long-term view of what your public profile needs to accomplish. Whether building a public profile from the ground up or managing a reputation through a moment of transition, ShapiroPR brings 20 years of experience and national media relationships to every engagement.

 

Media Strategy and Campaign Development
Every ShapiroPR engagement begins with strategy. Before a single pitch goes out, we develop a clear picture of your goals, your audience, your competitive landscape, and the media opportunities most likely to move the needle. ShapiroPR has strong relationships with journalists and media outlets across California, nationally across the US, and internationally. For San Francisco clients, this means access to the full spectrum of media coverage their campaigns require. When an unexpected challenge arises, our crisis communications practice provides experienced, steady guidance under pressure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Placements secured for ShapiroPR clients have appeared in CNN, NPR, the New York Times, GQ, Deadline Hollywood, BBC, the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Reuters, the Associated Press, the LA Times, NBC, the Today Show, and Psychology Today. This is not regional visibility. This is the national press record that opens doors, builds authority, and compounds over time.
San Francisco is a market full of accomplished, credible, ambitious professionals with important stories to tell. What many of them lack is a publicist with the national relationships and the strategic clarity to tell those stories to the audiences that matter most.

​Why Do Clients Choose ShapiroPR Over Larger Firms?
ShapiroPR is not a large agency with account managers and a standardized playbook. It is a boutique practice built around direct senior-level access, personalized strategy, and a standard of attention larger firms cannot offer. Every client works directly with Kelila Shapiro — not a team member assigned to their account, not a junior publicist learning on their campaign, but the founder with 20 years of national media relationships.


For San Francisco clients, working with ShapiroPR means working with a publicist who treats your campaign with the same seriousness you bring to your own work. No filler activity. No vanity metrics. No campaigns built on volume. Strategic, focused, earned media work that moves your public profile forward in ways that matter.

How to contact us? ShapiroPR takes on a limited number of new clients each year. That is not a marketing line. It is how a boutique practice maintains the quality of attention every client deserves. If you are a San Francisco-based author, executive, expert, speaker, or professional ready for national media coverage, reach out
