Are you trying to build buzz, but don’t have the cash to launch a full-fledged PR campaign? I emphasize that the best PR you can build is through satisfied customers with high Net Promoter scores. In other words, you should focus first on a great product/service, and only after you’ve achieved that worry about PR.

PR/Marketing. For startups, PR firms are a waste of money. The best early PR is a product that people actually love plus a genuine story to tell from the founder. Once you have scale, you can think about building your own sales force. Better to do personal outreach to blogs/local media. Start a blog.
