Why MVR

We get results because we know the industry.

We have spent years in PR, in Manila and across the globe, building the relationships and the instincts that get brands covered. Every brand we work with comes out of it with real coverage and real results. That is the point, and it is what we keep doing.

01

We know the industry

Years on both sides of the pitch, here and internationally. We know which outlets matter for your brand, and how to get you into them.

02

We get results

Every engagement has earned real coverage in publications that count. We can show you the numbers, not just the activity.

03

Senior on every account

You work with us directly, never a junior handoff. The person you meet is the person doing the work.

About

MVR is small on purpose. The person you meet is the person who runs your account.

Michaela Villaroman, founder of MVR Public Relations
Behind MVR

Years in the press, here and across the globe.

MVR is led by Michaela Villaroman. We have spent close to six years in PR and media relations, much of it running global press for Seedstars, the venture firm backing startups across emerging markets, with regional campaigns from Indonesia and Singapore to the Philippines.

That work has earned more than 2,000 placements in publications across 94 countries and five regions, for brands in tech, e-commerce, transportation and beyond. The pet, food and lifestyle brands you see here are the same craft, brought closer to home.

PR works the same anywhere. Know the audience, know the journalists, and earn the attention honestly. We spend more time reading a writer's beat than writing the pitch, and we build the relationships long before we need them.

We treat your brand like our own, and we would rather show you than tell you. The work above is the rest of the pitch.

Questions

How do you usually work with clients?
Most engagements run on a monthly basis so the work can build over time. We also take on defined projects, a launch or a single campaign, when that fits better.
What kind of brands do you work with?
Any industry. We have run global press for a venture-capital firm (Seedstars) and, across Southeast Asia, for startups in insurtech, agritech and HR tech, plus a Philippine transportation brand (Siklesa) and the pet and food brands in our work here. If you have something worth talking about, we can get it the right attention, whatever you sell.
How does the process actually work?
We start by understanding your brand, your target press, and what a real result looks like for you. From there we build a media strategy, write the pitches, and handle the outreach directly. You see every pitch before it goes out. After each placement we report back with the coverage link, reach data, and domain authority so you always know exactly what landed and why.
What does it cost to get started?
Engagements run on a monthly retainer. The rate depends on scope, target publications, and whether it is an ongoing programme or a defined launch. We do not work on a per-placement fee. Send us a note about what you need and we will give you a straight number within one business day, no commitment required.
Where are you based?
We are based in Manila and work with brands across the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Local media relationships and time on the ground are part of what you are hiring. We have worked with clients in Singapore, Indonesia, and beyond.
Can you guarantee coverage?
No one credible can. What we commit to is the strategy, the relationships, and the consistent effort that earns coverage. We are honest about what is realistic, every time.
How do we start?
Send a short note about your brand and where you want to be heard, using the form below or a direct email. We reply within one business day and, if it is a fit, we scope the first engagement from there.
