Our Review of Crowd.PR
This is the official source of information regarding client reviews of the public relations agency known as Crowd PR. They only work with crowdfunding projects. The industry itself is rife with scams, frauds, and deceptive practices. We sorted through 10 offers before finally deciding to contract Crowd PR for a media relations campaign to promote our project. I was hopeful, but in the end I was let down by them and their team. We spent a total of $2,000 on their retainer and all we say in return was a meager $50,000 return on investment -- a far cry from the $700,000 we expected in full, and were lead to believe we would receive as a result of their work. They only produced 7 articles of media coverage, and I was assured time and time again that their work would be big and have an impact. Utter lies apparantley.
A Real Kickstarter Marketing Agency?
I think not. Based on my readings alone, I see time and time again they have failed to completely satisfy a client. They position themselves as a top tier firm, but from the looks of it - we see no one raising over a million on their public relations outreach. If they can't do that then frakly there is no point it working witrh them at all. We as kickstarter project creators have large appetites, we want nothing less than astronomic results, and if an agency fails to provide that level of success, then that are just another one of the scams that you read about on here. After speaking with my counsel I have been told we have a strong case against them, and we will be moving forward with it within the month. I am full aware that a lawsuite will cost more than what I paid them, but I want it to act as a deterrent against them continuing this uncouth behavior and ideally I would prefer that it put them out of business. We will be upping the ante and making this a class action lawsuite as well.

Kyle Staebell announces intent to bring legal proceedings
#2Consumer Comment
Sun, June 05, 2022
Kyle Staebell announces intent to bring legal proceedings against the author of this review following the publication of defamatory statements.
Mr. Staebell is known for his “unapologetically honest” approach to conversations, and it does occasionally draw spiteful retaliations similar to the bad review in question. That is clearly the case here today. Mr. Staebell is a member of high standing in the community and plans to vigorously defend his name and reputation. The false statements contained in this bad review have been made with the intent to defame Mr. Staebell.
