Don't walk away... RUN!

This company is a scam in the first degree. I work in the entertainment industry so I'm familiar with the PR space, but I was doing an Indiegogo fundraising campaign and was short on hands so I spent $495 to outsource some of the labor of getting press. Horrible idea.

They took the money and did absolutely nothing. Within the week I couldn't get a response on the phones or via email to any of my inquiries. They gave absolutely no updates, I saw no pitch that wasn't self generated, and I was at a loss. I started call daily, sent a email daily, still nothing. Finally, 6 days before the end of the campaign they sent me 3 emails in 24 hours, (I'm sure in response to the emails that were not directly replied to) the first about how we have reached the "halfway point," then about the "final push" and finally about the "post campaign wrap." It was an obvious cut and paste job.

In the first they said they were just getting started, and had gotten be some "great press" on maximumbirthcontrol.com. Spoiler alert: my campaign had absolutely NOTHING to do with birth control. Red flags that were already flying were now blowing in the breeze.

The next came a half our later saying that they were now going to try for a "big" news outlet. Finally, the next morning I got a "report" saying they had finished the campaign and "good luck". To give them the benefit of the doubt I checked the "report" against our campaign analytics and found it was made up out of whole cloth.

They drove absolutely no one to the site. So, for $495 I got 2 articles on the most obscure sites ever, no phone support, no updates, no "highly targeted placement" ...basically no ANYTHING. They are a scam, pure and simple. I disputed the charges with my credit card. Save yourself the hassle and run FAR away!!

Oh and a final note, seems that they just launch a new website every x months when there are to many bad reviews online. Toplevelpr, the so called " #1 PR Agency for Crowdfunders Results Driven PR Funding " is alsno known as turnkey Pr (website taken offline, but enough information can be found online), Crowd Pr Guru and now top level Pr. Someone should stop them!

If they approach you, RUN!
