Pulling Strings PR

Founded in 2018 by Symphony Dixon, Pulling Strings PR emerged from a clear, personal mission: to help rising artists, creatives, and brands communicate their most authentic selves to the world. Dixon launched the firm shortly after earning her Master's in Public Relations and Corporate Communications from Georgetown University, building on a foundation laid with a Bachelor's in Communication from the University of Maryland, College Park. The agency's name reflects its hands-on, strategic approach—pulling the right strings to orchestrate meaningful visibility and growth for its clients. Based in Mount Rainier, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C., Pulling Strings PR serves clients across the United States, blending creative flair with grounded PR expertise.

Founding Vision and Creative Roots

Symphony Dixon's path to founding Pulling Strings PR was shaped by years of independently consulting small businesses on digital and visual communication. Her upbringing in the entertainment and creative industries gave her firsthand insight into how strategic communication and early-stage publicity can define long-term success. This perspective is woven into the agency's DNA. Pulling Strings PR was built to fill a gap she observed: talented individuals and emerging brands often lack the strategic framework to amplify their stories effectively. The firm's name is a metaphor for the deliberate, thoughtful orchestration of media relationships, messaging, and brand identity—connecting the dots between creative vision and public perception.

Core Services and Specialties

Pulling Strings PR operates at the intersection of public relations, social media, and creative strategy. While the firm offers a full spectrum of PR and communications services, its work is particularly defined by a focus on narrative development and digital presence. Based on the agency's stated focus areas and industry keywords, typical offerings include:

• PR writing and media relations (press releases, pitch letters, media kits)
• Social media strategy and content creation
• Creative direction and visual branding consultation
• Brand storytelling and messaging development
• Crisis communication and reputation management
• Event promotion and experiential marketing support
• Digital communication audits and strategy

These services are delivered with a strong emphasis on authenticity and audience connection. Pulling Strings PR understands that in the consumer internet and entertainment spaces, a brand's voice must be both distinctive and relatable. The agency's work often involves helping clients navigate the crowded digital landscape, ensuring their message cuts through noise while remaining true to their core identity.

Ideal Clients and Fit

Pulling Strings PR is best suited for emerging artists, independent creatives, and small to mid-sized brands in the entertainment, consumer internet, and lifestyle sectors. The agency's sweet spot is clients who are ready to move from organic growth to strategic visibility—those who have a strong creative foundation but need professional guidance to reach wider audiences, secure press coverage, or build a cohesive social media presence. Because the firm was founded by someone who started as an independent consultant, it particularly resonates with entrepreneurs, musicians, content creators, and founders who value hands-on, collaborative partnerships. Pulling Strings PR is also a strong fit for brands based in the Maryland and Washington, D.C., area looking for a local agency with national reach, as well as any client across the United States seeking a PR partner that understands the nuances of creative industries and consumer-focused communication.
