Are the right people discovering the work you want to be known for?

Every partnership is guided by a comprehensive plan that defines what to pursue, when to act, and where resources will add the most value. We evaluate each opportunity against your long-term goals, prioritizing the ones that strengthen your position, build your reputation, and create a foundation for what comes next.

Our focus on the design industry gives us a nuanced understanding of the publications, brands, events, timelines, and relationships that matter most, allowing us to identify the right opportunities and prioritize them with precision.

The best PR campaigns start with something real to say. It’s our job to identify what that is and put it to work so your target audience takes notice.

We work as an extension of the teams we represent, prioritizing open communication, and shared decision making. Partnerships are tailored with a clear plan for the priorities and goals that guide our work.

"Ashley has a unique approach to PR that gave me access to new people in the industry that elevated my career. Visibility is a big part of building your brand and creating a larger clientele. The PR process creates a buzz and new clients get to know you a bit faster. Ashley has great access to editors and landing press but also really has unique access to partnering with brands in forward thinking ways."

Susie Novak · Interior Designer

"Working with Ashley feels like adding a strategic brain and a hype woman to your team at the exact same time. She is organized, thoughtful, and somehow five steps ahead of every opportunity before it even hits my inbox. Her communication is crisp, proactive, and refreshingly honest which I adore. PR is only as good as the strategist behind it, and Ashley is the rare mix of creative, connected, and fiercely committed. She doesn’t push generic publicity, she positions me. She sees the bigger narrative of my brand and helps pull those threads into something compelling and marketable. The most meaningful moments are when she lands opportunities that feel perfectly aligned with who I am and where I’m going."

Rachel Brown · Builder & Interior Designer

She has an amazing way of making me feel supported and cared for in every interaction, always going the extra mile to answer my questions, provide guidance, and celebrate our wins. Her passion and commitment have truly helped us grow, and her kindness makes her feel more like a part of the Rathell Designs family than just a partner."

"Ashley is the best of the best in the PR space. She has been an absolute joy to work with and has made my life 100x easier by helping our shared interior designer clients secure brand partnerships and press opportunities that would not have been possible without her guidance and industry connections! If you're looking to create a snowball effect of great publicity for your brand and position yourself as the expert, Ashley needs to be your go-to. I've seen first-hand how she weaves impactful stories for clients by getting them placed in top publications, landing them on industry panels, and securing impressive social media paid collabs, etc. If you want your brand to be "everywhere,” Ashley is the one!”

Kyra Clark · Social Media Expert

"Even though I wasn’t a formal client of Ashley’s I can’t deny her genuine desire to be a connector. For my 2024 Kips Bay debut Ashley reached out to see if I needed anything, knowing this was my first Kips and what happened next, was a partnership I could only dream of securing. Thank you for the show stopping connection, my debut was better because of you!"

Ashley Hughes · Interior Designer
