Philadelphia is a city with strong neighbourhood loyalties and a business community that values substance over show. We work with businesses in Philadelphia to turn their work into coverage that local customers, partners and investors can find.

PR Agency in Philadelphia — publications and PR from DNA

A PR agency in Philadelphia helps you get your business into the titles that Philadelphians read, from the city itself to the suburbs of Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties. The work is about finding the story in what you already do, writing it for a specific publication and placing it so it keeps appearing whenever someone searches for you.

We work with Philadelphia businesses remotely and manage the whole process. We develop the story with you, write it to the publication's standard, manage the placement, and you approve every word before it goes live. You get coverage you can share with clients, include in funding and partnership conversations, and use to show that your business has roots in the region.

Who PR in Philadelphia suits

Philadelphia readers can tell when a business genuinely belongs to the city, and coverage helps make that clear. PR in Philadelphia tends to suit:

  • Life sciences, biotech and health technology companies, including cell and gene therapy firms
  • Hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers across the region
  • University spin-outs and founders coming out of the city's universities
  • Restaurants, bars and food businesses from Fishtown to South Philly
  • Law, finance, property and professional firms serving clients in the heart of the city

The Philadelphia media landscape

For business readers, Business Journal Philadelphia covers growth, property, funding and leadership across the region and is a natural fit for professional firms and growing companies. Metro Philadelphia reaches commuters and city readers with local news, culture and lifestyle stories.

Phillyburbs covers the suburbs to the north of the city, particularly Bucks County, where many Philadelphia businesses find their customers. The region has a deep bench of suburban papers too, and choosing between a city title and a suburban one depends on where your customers live. We match each story to the title whose readers are most likely to act on it.

What stories travel in Philadelphia

Philadelphia's economy is anchored by its universities and hospitals, and the region has become one of the country's leading centres for life sciences, especially cell and gene therapy. It is also home to major media and telecoms, insurance and financial services, and a growing startup scene. Its history, from Independence Hall to the Liberty Bell, draws visitors all year, and its food scene goes well beyond the cheesesteak.

Stories that travel in Philadelphia tend to be grounded and local: a lab turning research into treatments, a business reviving a historic building, a family restaurant that has served a neighbourhood for generations or a founder choosing Philadelphia over larger cities. Philadelphia readers are proud of the city and quick to spot hype, so we keep the focus on the real detail.

Local, state and national coverage together

Many Philadelphia businesses serve the whole of south-eastern Pennsylvania and beyond. A city title builds trust at home, suburban papers such as the Delco Times and the Daily Local reach Delaware and Chester counties, and papers such as The Morning Call and the Reading Eagle carry a story into the Lehigh Valley and Berks County. We plan placements together, so one story can work locally and across Pennsylvania.

How it works with DNA

  • Story: we talk through your business and find the Philadelphia angle worth publishing.
  • Writing: we draft the piece to the standard and style of the chosen title.
  • Approval: you review and approve every word before it goes live.
  • Placement: we manage the placement and send you the live article.

Most placements take weeks rather than days, depending on the title and how quickly drafts are approved.
