How We Work
StarMaps Agency operates as a strategic communications partner. Our engagement model is designed to support strong narrative development, proactive media engagement, and thoughtful visibility planning over time, all based on your business goals. build a resilient brand presence, and to guide clients through thoughtfully planned outreach and fortuitous opportunities.
We limit the number of clients we work with at any given time to ensure senior-level attention focus, allowing us to build and guide detailed, strategically planned outreach and last-minute fortuitous opportunities.
Our engagements are structured as monthly retainers, reflecting the ongoing nature of effective public relations and brand positioning.
A typical retainer includes:
Narrative and messaging strategy oversight
Ongoing media relations and editorial outreach
Thought leadership and award strategy
Editorial calendar planning and opportunity monitoring
Senior-level counsel and responsive communication
Writing, refinement, and strategic guidance across channels
This model allows us to act as an extension of your team—anticipating opportunities rather than reacting to them.
All StarMaps retainers are led by senior strategists with editorial and industry experience. We do not outsource core strategy or rely on junior staff to manage client narratives.
Senior-Led, Not Delegated
Many agencies either advise or execute. Our retainers are structured to do both—ensuring that strategy is not abstract, and execution is never disconnected from the bigger picture.
Strategy + Execution
Earned media, awards, and thought leadership require sustained effort, timing, and relationship-building. Our retainer model reflects this reality and allows us to pursue opportunities as they arise—not only when a project scope permits.
Proactive, Not Transactional
Our monthly retainers are best suited for:
Design-driven brands with active growth or visibility goals
Studios and founders seeking long-term brand authority
Clients who value strategic counsel alongside execution
Teams who see PR as an investment, not a transaction
StarMaps may not be the right fit for organizations seeking short-term publicity or purely tactical media outreach.
