Why MVR

Most PR is theatre.
Mine is built to be used.

A lot of agencies sell motion: the blast, the report, the vanity hit. I sell the thing you can use, coverage that does something and results you can point to.

The difference

What I don't do, and what I do instead.

Brands don't need more noise. They need the right rooms. So I work narrow and deep, not wide and loud.

Not this

  • Spray-and-pray releases to a thousand inboxes
  • Vanity placements no customer reads
  • A junior who churns and disappears

This

  • Stories editors want, in outlets your buyers read
  • Partnerships that put product in the right hands
  • Senior on every account. You work with me, not a junior.
What I do

Services

Three things, done with senior hands. Take one, take all three. I shape the engagement around the season your brand is in.

01 / Earned

Earned Coverage

Coverage in the outlets your customers already read. Considered pitches built on real editor relationships, never blasts. I spend more time on the journalist's beat than on the send.

  • Story angles and press strategy
  • Journalist and editor outreach
  • Launches, features, and profiles
01 Earned coverage
02 / Reach

Brand Partnerships

Pairing your brand with the partners, hosts, and platforms that move product and open doors. The half most agencies skip.

  • Partner sourcing and matchmaking
  • Co-branded campaigns and activations
  • Proposals and deal framing

03 / Profile

Launches & Profile

From a product launch to a spokesperson's profile, the moments that put your brand in the right rooms, said with intent.

  • Launch campaigns and milestones
  • Spokesperson and executive PR
  • Positioning and messaging

The whole pitch

Who you work with

About

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

Michaela Villaroman, founder of MVR Public Relations
Hi, I'm Michaela.

I do PR that gets results. That is the whole job.

I started MVR because too many good brands were getting handed agency theatre: a generic release, a vanity hit, a junior who churns. I work the other way around.

I have landed over 2,000 placements across 94 countries, from a global venture firm to startups to the pet and food brands you see here. PR works the same in any of them: know the audience, earn the attention.

I spend more time reading a journalist's beat than writing the pitch. I build the relationships before I need them. And I am honest with you about what coverage can and cannot do, because managing that is half the job.

I treat your brand like my own, and I would rather show you than tell you. The case studies are 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. I 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. I have run PR for a global venture firm (Seedstars), a Philippine transportation brand (Siklesa), and the pet and food brands in my work, across tech, startups, and consumer. If you have something worth talking about, I can get it the right attention, whatever you sell.
What does it cost to get started?
Engagements start at a monthly rate scaled to your stage and goals. Tell me where you are and I will be straight about what is realistic for the budget.
Where are you based?
I am based in Manila and work with brands across the Philippines. Local media relationships and time on the ground are part of what you are hiring.
Can you guarantee coverage?
No one credible can. What I commit to is the strategy, the relationships, and the consistent effort that earns coverage. I am honest about what is realistic, every time.
How do we start?
