CLIENT FEEDBACK
What clients say
“I've had the chance to work with Joshua on two VC funding announcements, and both were great experiences. He handled the pitch, customization, and outreach end to end, and he really took the time to understand each company first. He's incredibly proactive about keeping you in the loop, so I never had to wonder where things stood. Most of all, he gets the job done, and does it well. I cannot recommend Joshua enough to handle your PR launches, especially in fundraising.”

A PERSONAL APPROACH
Someone who brings
opportunities to you.
You’re busy running your business. Your PR partner should be proactively looking for the next opportunity for you to generate exposure.
Joshua helps clients develop PR strategy and content, plan their social media approach, and research and manage awards and speaking opportunities. He also works with clients to secure podcast interviews that bring their stories and expertise to relevant audiences. Joshua brings extensive experience working with companies, event organizers and organizations in running and endurance racing, including Boston Triathlon, World Marathon Challenge and Tough Ruck.
Media outreach connects that work to the right audience through founder interviews, contributed articles, podcasts, gift guides and local television segments.
A particular strength is hometown storytelling: identifying the local connection that makes an athlete’s or participant’s story relevant to reporters in the communities where they live or have roots.
Meet Joshua and LisaCOMMON QUESTIONS
A few things to know.
Will I work directly with Joshua?
Yes. You’ll work directly with me as your client lead and main point of contact. When a project calls for additional expertise, I may bring in experienced independent PR professionals with complementary skills.
Where is Joshua Milne PR based?
Joshua Milne PR is based in Hillsborough, North Carolina, in the Triangle region near Durham and Chapel Hill. The firm also works extensively in Massachusetts, including Greater Boston, MetroWest and the 495 corridor, and supports clients nationwide. Joshua flies back to New England four to six times a year to visit family, meet with clients, or both.
What kinds of clients do you support?
The firm works with general businesses, technology companies, sports businesses (including running), Massachusetts-based events, food brands, nonprofits, startups and venture capital firms.
Can you work alongside our existing PR or marketing team?
Absolutely. I enjoy working as an extension of your team, bringing ideas and additional support to your existing PR or marketing efforts. My goal is to deliver strong results that advance your priorities and help you demonstrate the value of your work to internal leadership.
Can you help with a funding announcement?
Yes. Support can include announcement strategy, press release development, targeted venture capital and industry media outreach, embargo coordination, founder preparation and follow-up interviews.
How far ahead should we contact you?
Ideally, reach out about a month before you’d like the project to begin. For some smaller projects, three weeks may be enough. If your timeline is shorter, please get in touch. I’ll assess the scope and my availability to see how I can help.
Do you take on focused projects?
Yes. Joshua Milne PR supports project-based assignments, consulting and ongoing PR engagements. The scope depends on the announcement, timing, audience and support needed.
How do you price an engagement?
Each engagement is priced according to its scope, timeline and required support. I work on either a project fee or retainer basis. For retainer engagements, I ask for an initial four-month commitment with a 30-day exit clause for either party. For smaller projects, I occasionally offer hourly pricing on a case-by-case basis.
Do you guarantee media coverage?
No, I don’t guarantee media coverage. Editorial decisions belong to reporters, editors and producers. That being said, Joshua Milne PR only takes on projects where we believe we might secure meaningful coverage for our clients.
