Why Public Relations. Why Now.

PR Is No Longer Optional.
It's Algorithmic.

AI-powered search and LLMs now surface product recommendations directly in results. If there's no third-party editorial coverage training those systems, you don't exist in the channel that's replacing traditional discovery for both consumers and investors.

10–50%
Higher Conversion Than Advertising

Editorial coverage converts 10–50% better than paid advertising. For regulated brands, third-party credibility is the trust signal that closes the gap between interest and commitment. Nielsen, 2024.

20%+
Of Enterprise Value Is Brand

Brand equity represents 20% or more of company value for consumer brands on average. But 79% of intangible asset value never appears on a balance sheet. The editorial record is how investors verify what the numbers don't show. Brand Finance GIFT, 2024.

80%
Of Brands With Low Share of Voice Lost Market Share

Share of Voice is a leading indicator of future market share. In 80% of cases studied, brands whose visibility fell below their market position lost ground. The brands that grow are the ones that build presence before they need it. Binet & Field, IPA Databank.

Meet Avaans Media

Executive-Led.
No Bait and Switch.

Founded by Tara Coomans in 2008, Avaans Media is a team of 100% executive-level PR professionals built for consumer product brands with something real to prove. Every engagement is led by senior talent. There's no bait-and-switch to a junior team once the contract is signed.

We created the PR Sprint program because twelve-month retainers weren't built for how consumer brands actually grow. Your biggest revenue opportunities happen in windows. So we built a program around those windows. And for brands navigating a bigger moment, our Bespoke PR program starts with our proprietary Fingerprint Strategy — because every brand's path to authority is as unique as a fingerprint.

We're client-forward and digitally savvy. We don't offer SEO, website services, or paid advertising. We do one thing exceptionally well: PR that builds advantage.
