Describe the project or task Propllr helped with:

Propllr has been helping NanoGraf navigate and improve our visibility in the media Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Propllr?

We can’t say enough good things about Propllr. We have been working together for nearly 6 months now….the impact and traction with top tier outlets (i.e., Wired, Business Insider) has been immediate….it has made a difference in our in-bound requests on the business side which is one of the most critical aspects to taking a start-up to the next level. Most importantly, it has been the Propllr team that has impressed me the most: scrappy, “on-top” of things, quick learners and media navigation experts. Our company rests easy knowing that the Propllr team is representing us on the outside. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propllr?

There really isn't anything that we've felt dissatisfied with Propllr. True partners Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propllr:

Propllr has been our first foray of its type. After interviewing many larger firms, perhaps more well known firms, we went with Propllr and this has turned out to be one of the best decisions we've made in a long time. Highly recommend this group of talented, motivated individuals. A++ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propllr solving and how is that benefiting you?

There has been a need to improve our visibility in the media (and more importantly in the Clean Energy space) and gain traction with potential strategics. As mentioned above, the impact and traction have been immediate, consistent and strategic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Propllr helped with:

Our marketing team at KnowledgeHound is small but mighty. We knew we needed to improve our digital presence but the first step to that was to build a better library of content. Because our team was so small, we decided to outsource some of our content needs so our internal group could focus on product marketing, demand gen, etc.

We tasked Propllr with creating engaging, educational, and industry-specific content including blog posts, case studies, eBooks, and even sales email cadences! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Propllr?

By far what I like best about Propllr is their flexibility and ability to quickly understand our highly technical product. KnowledgeHound is a data discovery and analytics platform. We play in a very specific field and our solution is very technical.

My initial concern with hiring a third party agency to create content for us was that they wouldn't be able to grasp the complexity of the product. This was not an issue whatsoever. After a few meetings explaining to them the in's and out's, they were able to intelligently and independently verbalize what our technology does and how it benefits our target audience.

In addition to quickly grasping complex technologies, they are also incredibly flexible as a PR/Content agency. No ask was too big or too small! We didn't hire them to write sales cadences but when we asked them to, they delivered great emails that I've been able to leverage for our sales team as well as re-purpose for our nurture program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propllr?

The only thing I dislike is that Brenna and Julia aren't actually my colleagues at KnowledgeHound. Seriously, they're the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propllr:

Think carefully about what you need from them. Don't be afraid to get creative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propllr solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest problem I'm solving with Propllr is our content deficiency and our lack of time as a small team to quickly build content. They helped greatly with messaging as well I soon realized though. Working as a one-man-band, it can be really tough to find a new way to say the same thing across different marketing materials. They helped inspire new, creative, and effective messaging for us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Propllr helped with:

Kin Insurance had the privilege to work with Propllr as a content partner for more than two years, and I can't recommend their work enough. Their team of writers – especially Brenna Lemieux – are among the best in the business. They consistently delivered well-researched, highly optimized, engaging blog posts, thought leadership articles, skyscraper pieces.

We also worked with Propllr as a PR firm, and they did an excellent job promoting the Kin worldview and helping us strategize with how to tell our story to a national and local audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Propllr?

It's hard to narrow down what I liked best given the superlative experience, but I'd say the people. The Propllr team deeply cares about their clients and good communication. It was always a joy to talk through new ideas with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propllr?

There's nothing I dislike about this company – their excellent work proved the value of a strong content program, which allowed us to grow our in-house program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propllr:

I would recommend Propllr to any business looking to deliver engaging, relevant content to their audience, establish themselves as experts in their space, and rank well in search results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propllr solving and how is that benefiting you?

We rely on Propllr to help us create consistent, well-optimized content for our blog and thought leadership channels, and both have been successful. Many of the posts Propllr created for us rank on the first page of search results for competitive keywords. While many content creators can write an article that checks all the on-page SEO boxes, few can also make it compelling. Brenna from Propllr is masterful at this balance.

Describe the project or task Propllr helped with:

Propllr was referred to me when I was asking a friend about hiring a content writer.

Propllr fit our business needs: We were desperately in need for external-facing content. We initially hired Propllr for content services (four 750-word pieces a month) and after three months of service, we expanded our contract to include PR services. They continue to go above and beyond, and I'm excited about a long, continued plan for the future! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Propllr?

I was impressed how quickly Propllr caught up to speed. They completed extensive research about our business, our market, our buyer, and held minimal but effective onboarding conversations to make sure their research aligned to our findings and business strategy.

Propllr also quickly adapted content and writing style per our buyer's journey and content strategy. They were able to marry their strong writing abilities to our strategies and deliver thoughtful and on-point business content.

I love that I turn to Propllr as the expert in content and PR. We quickly realized what a source of knowledge they are. They take the time to answer one-off questions and ensure our content strategy can be the best it can be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propllr?

Truly nothing. They're a powerhouse agency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propllr:

If you're a start-up or looking for content writing and/or PR services, Propllr is a strong agency and should be evaluated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propllr solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a lean marketing team, so Propllr is filling the gap as our content engine. Because of their strong writing abilities, our content library has grown extensively, and I can use one piece of Propllr's content in about four to five different ways. The content Propllr produces fulfills our requirements of making strong, compelling demand gen activities.

Additionally, we are relying exclusively on Propllr for PR strategy and deliverables. They really are a strong extension of our marketing function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Propllr helped with:

Propllr oversees most of our PR and assists with content (blogs, pillar pages, website content). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Propllr?

This team works hard to get us coverage across the spectrum and is creative to get lots of stories. Having worked with - and been frustrated by - big agencies who only want "the big story" Propllr is able to get us a ton of trade and local press and has used that to spin up big time stories as well.

Additionally, their content arm created readable, engaging content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propllr?

Propplr is PR and content for startups and sometimes it feels that way. They don't necessarily slick presentations and robust focus on strategy, but I will take their results, creativity, and diligence all day over those things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propllr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Proppllr gets us an amazing amount of press coverage and delivers good content to drive SEO and leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Propllr helped with:

We hired and continue to work with Propllr to establish our brand as a leading technology consulting services provider in Chicago and the midwest. They have exceeded our expectations and have really helped us gain traction in a very crowded marketplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Propllr?

Propllr is phenomenal at what they do. Their diverse team offers competencies that really help to drive the performance of our content marketing, extending its outreach well beyond our core team's capabilities. They have also secured placements with highly recognized publications and influencers that have helped to increase our brand awareness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propllr?

Nothing remarkable. The team works very hard to meet deadlines despite how many projects demand their attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propllr:

If you are looking for a boutique PR firm with bright and tenacious employees, Propllr is your best bet in Chicago! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propllr solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a relatively new team with a lean pool of resources. Propllr helps to enhance and elevate our efforts. They really feel like an extension of our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Propllr helped with:

Propllr was the PR agency of record for us when I lead marketing at an InsureTech company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Propllr?

Great fit for startups. Being a small company itself, Propllr understands the needs, problems and opportunities that startups face. They will invest a lot of effort to understand the nature of your business and will essentially become an extension of your team. For a small PR firm they have strong relationships with the press, which extends beyond their native market of Chicago. Propllr also has a strong content team that help replace or supplement small firms' SEO efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propllr?

They are a small firm. If you are looking for Edelman-like service, with a large team assigned to your account, Propllr may not be the right fit. But Edelman will charge you much, much more. Per dollar invoiced, Propllr will actually provide you much more than the big firms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propllr:

Be clear on what your objectives are and how much you are willing to spend. Propllr will be honest and upfront with you on whether they are the right fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propllr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our goal with Propllr was to generate customer, partner and PR awareness for our company, and drive quality links to our site for SEO. They helped us accomplish all of that. We got extensive coverage by magazines such as Forbes and Inc., and our SEO program grew to become a huge success, partially owning to Propllrs help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Propllr helped with:

We asked Propllr to augment our content creation and strategic capabilities, and help with local and digital PR. They exceeded expectations in every way - they raised the bar for content, and got us the local traction we needed to help recruit and make hires for key positions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Propllr?

The obvious focus for any project is a desired result, which Propllr exceeded. What make the experience truly outstanding, though, was the research done, forethought put into strategic initiatives, and the education we received from working with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propllr?

There was nothing major to dislike about working with Propllr, but sometimes communication can be a challenge, particularly in advance of discussions while they're doing heads-down work. This manifested itself in getting deliverables very shortly before meetings to discuss them, which meant we occasionally needed follow ups to thoroughly review the material. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Propllr:

Just be clear about projects and priorities, as with any content or PR agency. They're not fully embedded in your organization, so when things change, make sure they know so they can adjust their priorities accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propllr solving and how is that benefiting you?

On the content front, Propllr helped us generate evergreen keystone content that generates links, social traction, and helps guide our tertiary content and improve overall semantic relevancy for Google.

On the PR front, we were looking to hire very quickly following a round of funding, and their help was immediate and essential. They took the lead on generating some local buzz and outlet placements that eased the hiring process and got our key roles filled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task Propllr helped with:

We originally engaged Propllr to help us announce our Series A funding round, then moved into a full PR program designed to establish awareness and credibility. The exceptional work they did landing and writing a few contributed articles led us to add a content development program as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Propllr?

I've worked with, and for, various PR and marketing agencies in the past, so I have the unique ability to compare and contrast both from the client side and the agency side. I love that Propllr is focused and strategic—we always know exactly what they're working on and why. They're extremely organized, and that keeps us organized too. They are not complacent—they push us to stay active, to find ways to communicate our message even when we don't have specific announcements or low-hanging PR fruit. I feel like they're really invested in our success. In particular, they have been tremendous at rolling with the inevitable changes that come with working with a company that's just getting started and finding its way. Their perspective having worked with many startups has been invaluable for us. On the content side, they have quickly grasped our business and our goals, and how we are hoping to use content to help reach them. They are frankly good, journalistic writers, which keeps us from sounding too sales-y and ensures we're providing valuable information to our audience that doesn't feel like it's wrapped in a pitch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Propllr?

Nothing, really. I have noticed a time or two in which it seems like they're getting pulled in multiple directions taking care of other clients, and so we haven't gotten things as quickly as they might have been originally expected, but it's never been an actual problem and we've never missed a deadline. As someone with an agency background, I understand the adjustments you have to make to get all the work done for all the clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Propllr solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a new company, we believed that the third-party credibility of PR would be key for us. We absolutely could not have done it ourselves. With Propllr, I feel confident that PR is in good hands, that we're building our reputation not just among our audience, but also among reporters who hopefully appreciate the professional and customized attention they receive from Propllr on our behalf. On the content side, we've been able to get into a groove of creating consistent content that provides value to our audiences, which has allowed us to start using it not only on our website, but in sales conversations, in our outbound communications to customers and prospects and even internally.
