We Are

Some people say that money makes the world go round. But we at George PR will argue that it’s actually fashion…and beauty. George PR is a boutique PR agency specializing in our two vices mentioned above as well as lifestyle & consumer industries. We strongly believe creative positioning and consistent product placement are key in gaining exposure, building awareness, and ultimately motivating sales. And because our bottom line is for our clients to reach theirs, we develop and execute unique, custom PR campaigns for each business.

We maintain that PR starts at the ground level and focus on building a one-on-one working relationship with the designers, creators and owners we represent. Behind the doors of george PR lies a haven of creative ideas, stylish knowledge, fresh thinking and a team determined to mix all the above with fun.

Allison Beale founded George PR in 2005 out of a passion for small business and creative entrepreneurs. Contributing her natural style and eight years of experience in the fashion and writing industries, Allison combines her clients’ visions with her own. She knows how important sharp writing and up-to-date knowledge of the industry is to be successful in making contacts and attracting media attention. She is committed to working closely with her clients and providing them with unparalleled customer service and enthusiasm to ensure their success. Allison + George PR have been recognized in Jane Magazine, The Chicago Sun Times, Seattle Times, The News & Observer, Cary Magazine and a handful of consumer blogs such as Dana Pop, Downtown From Behind, Fashism, Time Out and IndieNC.
