Terrible Experience with Chic Execs - A Complete Waste of Money I cannot express enough how disappointed I am with Chic Execs. My experience with them was nothing short of a complete waste of money. I feel like I may as well have burned $15,000 for all the good it did. From the beginning, there was a lot of promise and high expectations set by their team. They assured me that their expertise in PR and marketing would significantly boost my business visibility and drive sales. However, reality couldn't have been further from their promises. Throughout the entire process, there was a distinct lack of communication and transparency. I constantly had to chase them for updates and feedback, which was incredibly frustrating and time-consuming. The strategies they implemented were generic and did not seem tailored to my business needs or target audience. It was clear that there was no real understanding or effort to truly understand and cater to my brand. The results were extremely disappointing. There was no noticeable increase in traffic or sales, and the supposed media coverage and influencer engagements were minimal and ineffective. The ROI on this investment was non-existent. I feel utterly let down and regret entrusting Chic Execs with such a significant amount of money. In hindsight, I would have been far better off investing that $15,000 in targeted ad spend. At least with ads, I would have had measurable results and control over where my money was going. Chic Execs, on the other hand, provided no value and left me feeling deceived and out of pocket. I would not recommend Chic Execs to anyone. Save your money and invest it in more reliable and effective marketing strategies. This experience has been a hard and costly lesson in choosing the right partners for my business. read more

After a rocky start with ChicExecs, our experience took a significant turn for the better. Initially, we were frustrated with the lack of tangible results after investing over $12,000 and four months of collaboration, receiving only assurances that PR takes time and isn't guaranteed. However, after expressing our disappointment, ChicExecs stepped up in a big way. Their team reached out to us promptly, addressing our concerns with a genuine commitment to make things right. ChicExecs not only guaranteed us multiple features in prominent publications but also provided us with a partial refund on our services as a gesture of goodwill. This change was a game-changer. Their follow-up and communication were excellent. We truly appreciate how ChicExecs turned our initial disappointment into a success story. Their dedication to client satisfaction, willingness to address our concerns proactively, and ability to deliver on their promises have restored our faith in their services.

After working on my start up product/business for over 4 years it was time for a big push. It was time to build the brand, get it into retail and create distributor partnerships. I needed more than a PR company I needed a partner. In my experience working with Chic Execs for 4 months, I know it's the best decision I could have made! Chic Execs has worked tireless for me but more importantly they have worked WITH me. I consider them a valuable partner! They are professional, resourceful, honest and somehow my exceptional rep seems to read my mind. It would have taken me 3 lifetimes to make the contacts they have in 4 months. They encouraged me to also do PR also which I did and they have done a great job. If you need to get your business out there I highly recommend getting a partner, get Chic Execs! read more

WOW! It took all of 2 days of working with Chic Execs to get me promoting my business on TV. I had a segment on Fox 5 and an interview on Good Business San Diego in the same day! They are so professional and amazing to work with. When I say this company knows people, its true! They know everyone. My instagram inbox is full of messages from anchors, reporters, sports broadcasters all getting in touch with me to learn more about Hoop San Diego and how they can promote my business. It is amazing. I have been working with Chic Execs for 1 month and already have seen tremendous value. I have another news segment scheduled for next week and I'm sure they will not stop there. Thank you team and everything you do for me and my business. If you want to get in front of the people, this is the company to use. read more

Words fall short! We are Reveka Skincare. We entered the skincare industry with a single bar of soap. We knew it was special, but trying to share our vision was a challenge. Enter Chic Execs and Kiley Long. Kiley took over our PR and immediately saw the potential. Her work and dedication is outstanding! She not only saw and understood what made us stand out from the crowd but was able to effectively share this vision. Just a few months in, we were featured in over 40 publications and have received a national award for best bar soap. She has elevated our brand from "just a bar of soap" to a revolutionary experience that publications are excited to promote! Thank you Chic Execs for hiring such outstanding talent! read more

As a skin care company there is a lot of competition and they did a fantastic job of getting many outlets and blogs and magazines interested in our products and reviewing and writing about them and even getting TV exposure. They were ALWAYS prompt with our weekly calls and were super organized with their spreadsheets to us right down to tracking number follow ups with our product submissions. I will say, in our case with the beauty/skincare business you need to give them a couple of months to really get your company's ethos out there and by month 3 and 4 you will be super happy for sticking with it...all good things are worth waiting for, right? :) read more

I worked with ChicExecs for a few years, and then went to another PR agency when my rep left. Not two years later, after being told that unless I was on tiktok I would never succeed, I was back on the phone with ChicExecs asking to work with them again. They are a wonderful PR agency. Leah is great at what she does. She instinctively understands my brand and the features and placements that are important to me. In the few months I've been back with ChicExecs, I've been featured in dozens of national publications, both print and online. ChicExecs works well with my publisher as well, optimizing opportunities to promote my cookbook. read more

We have enjoyed working with ChicExecs. Everyone on the team is very knowledgable and personable, which is great for their line of work. They pitched our products to a number of big name publications and also a ton of smaller, more local publications. In 6 months, we were featured in Newsweek, MSN, Glamour, Ok Magazine, SF Gate... and numerous smaller ones. I considered taking off a star only because our demo is typically male, hunting, guns, etc so unfortunately we didn't land any in that area since that is not their area of expertise but Amber and everyone we worked with was so great, I have to give them 5 Stars. read more

Whenever I receive a pitch from the ladies of ChicExecs, it brightens my workday. The releases always include fun, positive language, eye-catching visuals and are clearly detailed and formatted well.

I've enjoyed working with a number of their account executives and look forward to a continued positive business relationship. After working with many public relations firms over the years, the fab ChicExecs team remains a favorite! Keep up the great work :) read more

I really can't say enough good things about ChicExecs. We've dealt with quite a few different PR companies, and almost all of them promise more than they deliver. ChicExecs are the exact opposite. They continue to deliver fantastic results month after month. We couldn't have imagined the amount of national press coverage we would receive, and how valuable it would be to our business. Kiley is so pleasant to deal with and so professional. We can tell that she really loves her job and takes pride in it. If you're looking for results instead of empty promises, ChicExecs delivers!

This team is FANTASTIC and I could not recommend them more highly to anyone looking for an amazing team to represent them. They understood my brand instantly, have cared for it, nurtured it and sell my product better than I ever could personally. Within a matter of months, my range was launched into leading retailers across America. I've always worked in marketing and PR and was somewhat skeptical ....but I have finally been proven wrong and I am happy to admit.

I've been working with ChicExecs for a year now and really enjoyed the process and everyone I interacted with from their team. They make onboarding very easy and while I was new to working with a PR/marketing team, it was painless and not intimidating. I esp loved my PR agent Vanessa -- she's been amazing and got us onto the Drew Barrymore show, InStyle, and Apartment Therapy just to name a few. Plus she's just been lovely to work with and so positive, it feels like working with a real partner who cares about our brand and success. read more

Wow, what an incredible investment! The amount of careful and well thought out attention I was given... was priceless!

Their attention to detail was outstanding, and I am so thankful for the exposure that they were able to give me and my business. We were featured on TV and sales skyrocketed. They had connections I would never have and I'm so thankful I decided to partner with them for all of my PR and marketing needs. read more

ChicExecs PR are an amazing group of women who really know what they are doing. They have been knocking it out of the park for the Smelly Proof brand, getting us a ton of exposure that we do not have the bandwidth or resource to do ourselves. They are such value add to our team and I highly recommend them as a resource to help any brand grow. They provide a highly professional monthly recaps that we can use as a resource. There is never a bad conversation with these ladies and every phone call ends with a smile. read more

When we started out as all new companies, we did not know where to turn for branding and media help. The ChicExecs team reached out and made us feel very comfortable and confident that we could count on them to do the job. They have lived up to their promises and have expanded our reach into areas of media which we would not have been able to do on our own. I would recommend them to any company looking to expand their brand. Thumbs up from our company CoolBag, they go above and beyond. read more
