Summary

There are 9 public relations firms headquartered in Miami that we could verify against their own website. Every fact below — address, founding year, specialism, client names — is taken from the firm's own site and was checked in August 2026. Where a firm publishes no client list, this page says so rather than filling the gap from somewhere else.

That sounds like a low bar. Almost no Miami agency round-up clears it, including the version of this page we replaced — it carried firms that had closed, firms headquartered in other states, and client names we could not find anywhere except on our own page. We rebuilt it from the websites up and published what we threw out, which is the part most buyers will find useful.

Do you actually need a PR firm in Miami?

Usually not, and it is worth being honest about that before a list of names. Media relations is done by email and phone. A firm in another city can pitch a Miami reporter as effectively as one down the road, and the national trade press that most B2B companies actually want does not care where anyone sits.

Local matters in three situations. If your story is genuinely local — a new facility, a hiring announcement, a local controversy — then relationships with the Miami outlets below are worth paying for. If you are in a regulated or government-adjacent business, local knowledge of who decides what is real value. And if your leadership will only work face to face, that is a legitimate preference and you should buy for it.

Outside those, hire on category experience rather than postcode. A firm that has covered your industry for a decade beats a firm that is nearby.

The PR firms based in Miami

The rest are listed alphabetically. This is not a ranking — nobody can rank agencies they have not worked with, and a numbered list that implies otherwise is the main thing wrong with most guides like this.

Which Miami firm covers which sector

Taken from what each firm says it specialises in, in its own words. If your sector is not here, that is useful information too — it usually means the expertise you need is not concentrated in Miami and you should be hiring on category rather than geography.

Who we left out, and why

This is the part no other guide publishes, and it is the part worth reading. Each of these appeared on a Miami list somewhere — including, in several cases, on our own earlier version of this page.

FirmWhy it is not on this list
Ace of Spades AgencySells placements. Their own site says: “we can start you in the media for as little as USD $2000 and can also go up to USD $100,000+ for specific media placements if needed”, and lists “verification” as a service. No address of any kind appears anywhere on the site, so nothing establishes that they are in Miami.
Big Reach PRGuarantees publication. Their own site says: “Your work is guaranteed to be published within our network of publications. We stand by that guarantee.” The pitch is explicitly about backlinks and as-seen-on badges. The address is a private mailbox inside a virtual-office centre, and the 20-year claim is worded as experience combined across the team.
BoardroomPRFort Lauderdale. Their own boilerplate reads “with offices in Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Orlando, Boardroom serves clients in Miami”. The Miami address is a coworking floor.
Durée & CompanyFort Lauderdale, stated as their headquarters on their own contact page.
Heyday MarketingCoral Gables, and a digital marketing agency by its own description. PR is sold as a menu-priced add-on.
JeffreyGroupCoral Gables, and now part of the Burson group rather than an independent Miami firm. A substantial Latin America agency — just not what this page is listing.
Roar MediaCoral Gables, and describes itself as a fully integrated marketing agency rather than a PR firm.
TARA, Ink.Miami Beach, which is a separate city. Genuinely a PR firm; wrong page.
The Prism GroupNo address, suite or city appears anywhere on their site. A Miami-Dade phone area code is not a headquarters. Their old domain is parked for sale.
Balsera CommunicationsThe domain now resolves to a baby-clothing shop. Do not link it.

Two patterns are worth naming, because they will show up on whatever other list you read next. The first is geography drift: a firm with an office in the city, or simply a page targeting the city, gets listed as though it were headquartered there. The second is category drift: advertising agencies, web shops and SEO firms get counted as PR firms because they have a communications page.

The one thing to check before you sign anything

If an agency guarantees placement, you are buying advertising and it will be labelled as such. The language varies — guaranteed publication, our network of publications, a price per placement, a verification package — but it means the same thing. Real earned coverage cannot be guaranteed, because the decision belongs to an editor who does not work for your agency.

This matters beyond the money. A paid placement carries a disclosure, search engines treat it differently from editorial, and the AI systems that increasingly summarise companies weight editorial far more heavily than sponsored content. You can pay for it if you want it, but know which one you are buying.

2 firms that appear on other lists for this city were excluded on exactly this basis — Ace of Spades Agency and Big Reach PR — both quoted in their own words in the table above.

It is worth asking any firm you shortlist, in writing: is any coverage you produce for us paid, sponsored or guaranteed?

The Miami outlets a local firm should already know

If a firm is selling you local expertise, these are the names that should come up unprompted. Ask which reporters at each they have placed in the last six months.

How to check any of these firms yourself

The research behind this page took a few hours per city and mostly consisted of opening websites. You can do the same on a shortlist of three in an afternoon.

  • Open the client page and check three names against the news. If a listed client was acquired, renamed or shut down, the roster is stale and so is the relationship.
  • Look for a date on the case studies. A proof point from five years ago is a proof point about a team that has probably turned over.
  • Ask for the last twenty pitches they sent, with the replies. Not the wins — everyone shows the wins. The unanswered ones tell you how they write.
  • Ask what proportion of their placements is syndication. One release republished across forty sites is one placement, not forty.
  • Ask who does the work. The people in the pitch meeting are frequently not the people on the account.

How this page was built

Candidate firms came from directory listings, local business press and the previous version of this page. Every candidate was then checked against its own website: does the site load, what address does it print, does it describe itself as doing public relations, what does it say it was founded, and which clients does it publish. A firm made the list only if its own site confirmed all of that and put its headquarters in Miami.

Nothing here comes from a directory profile. Directories are useful for finding firms and unreliable for facts about them — they carry headcounts and founding years that firms stopped updating years ago.

This list will go stale. Agencies get acquired, rebrand and close. It was accurate in August 2026; if you are reading it much later, open the links before you rely on them.

If you are shortlisting and want a second opinion — Salient PR is a technology PR agency. We are not based in Miami and we are not on this list. See how we work or start a conversation.

Every firm on this page was checked against its own website in August 2026. Salient PR published this guide and is not ranked in it.
