Client Testimonials

“When you hear from some of the top concert promoters and media pros that your public relations team is one of the most thorough and professional people they have worked with, it reinforces your initial instincts. When The Ides of March first met Laura Orrico and Taylor Leddin of Orrico PR to handle the big rollout of our 55th-anniversary album, Play On, we had a real good feeling about them that was confirmed over the next months with numerous press, radio, and television opportunities. Without reservation, I would recommend their excellent services.” 

“My touring band, Super Diamond, wanted to boost ticket sales in Chicago, and we did that by using Laura and her staff. We started off by providing all of our information, from recent photos to links and bios. They chose the best photos and used the information we provided to write up brilliant press releases, which were posted on our social media and sent out to all of their networks. Within days, we had a featured interview on a popular entertainment website, three radio interviews/performances, and an interview/performance for a local Chicago TV show. I was impressed with their hard work and excellence in detail. Particularly, the detail in communication and information. For interviews, I need to know where, when, who, and how, and they made it clear and extremely easy. During and after each radio/TV interview/performance, Laura and Taylor took photos and videos, then posted them, along with the official media clips/articles from the stations, on our social media. All this, and when I thought it was all over, they also sent me a zip file of all of the photos and videos they took. It was clear to me that the press and media people loved working with Laura and Taylor as much as we did!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Laura Orrico Public Relations while I was national president of the Federal Bar Association, which is a group of approximately 19,000 lawyers and judges around the nation that practice in federal court. Working with Laura Orrico Public Relations elevated what was already an incredible experience to the next level. Laura’s contacts and innovative ideas led to many engagements, including television, radio, podcasts, and articles, which provided the organization with considerable exposure and opportunities to publicize its events and its many positive contributions to the community at large, such as its annual national civics essay contest for high school and middle school students. I am proud to call Laura a friend and am always happy to support a female-owned business.”

“Working with Laura Orrico Public Relations has been a wonderful experience! Laura and Taylor work tirelessly and can open so many doors that I could never have opened on my own. My initial hope was by working with a PR agency that didn't specialize in my niche I would reach new audiences, and they certainly delivered on this. I highly recommend Laura Orrico Public Relations for anyone looking to do something similar in their area of expertise.”

“Laura Orrico and the team provided public relations for our annual Walk for Wellness House. We are incredibly grateful for all their efforts which helped us yield one of the best walks ever. From day one, they placed their heart and soul into securing press for Wellness House. We are a nonprofit and one of the largest fundraisers we have is our annual walk. Laura Orrico and the team worked diligently to get the press we needed to get the word out. 

We appeared in the studio at ABC7, The Mancow Show, and WVON radio and CBS came out to shoot the event for the evening news. In addition to broadcast appearances, Laura Orrico Public Relations made sure we were in numerous other print publications. Their daily communication and enthusiasm for doing the best job for their client is evident every day.  They consistently produced high-quality work from start to finish – all done with heart, soul, and passion for results. And, we loved the press summary of all the work they did for us! If you are looking for results-oriented public relations experts, you can’t go wrong with Laura Orrico.”

“I hired Laura Orrico and her firm to help me during my recent campaign for DuPage Sheriff in 2018. Her experience was invaluable in assisting with setting up local media interviews in print, radio, and news channels in and around Chicagoland. She listened to my needs and gave good substantive advice on how to approach these media options. She is always professional and is a pleasure to work with. I do my social media and have a good following. She gave me tips on how to bring even more traffic by properly “hashtagging” my posts and tweets. Thank you, Laura and staff, for your excellent, attentive, and professional work.”

“Laura is a very driven entrepreneur who is a natural at finding relevant PR opportunities. She runs a class-act firm, and is well-organized, professional, and caring. They helped us promote our documentary series, The Search for Aliveness, and secured us media engagements in TV, radio, podcasts, magazines, blogs, newspapers, and more. They became partners in our project and far exceeded our expectations by helping us secure interviewees for the series. I highly recommend Laura Orrico PR.”

“Working with Laura Orrico Public Relations has been amazing. Laura and her associate, Taylor, are two of the most dedicated, caring, hard-working people I have ever met. Their dedication to finding compelling and meaningful media coverage is unsurpassed. They got us a ton of media coverage and were instrumental in helping us find high-level candidates to interview for our documentary series. Having not had a lot of experience in PR, myself, they took the time to educate, guide, and inspire me to reach out of my comfort zone and go on TV and radio. Thank you for all you do!”

“Laura Orrico provided top-notch PR service for our artists on Prize Fighter Records. She was professional and able to work with our budget. Also had great opportunities for interviews, articles, out-of-the-box PR ideas, and genuinely great to work with.” 

“As an Indie Author, it is very difficult to reach an effective number of readers and get the word out about your books. When the primary form of promoting is done through popular social media sites, your books can easily be overlooked along with all the other authors paying for similar advertising. Laura Orrico Public Relations can do things for your business that you cannot do on your own. Not only does Laura have the background and knowledge of what reaches an audience faster, but most importantly she has all of the right connections to get things done. 

It’s all about who you know and Laura’s persistence, and hard work have connected me with people I never would have been able to reach on my own. Vaughn Joseph with V3TV, Mancow on 97.9 The Loop, Brazen Woman, Men’s Health, and USA Today, just to name a few of the fantastic interviews Laura has gotten my name and books acknowledged and promoted through. Listing all of those has reminded me, and proves how impressive Laura and her team truly are. Due to a family emergency, I’ve had to pause using Laura’s services for the time being. I want to mention this because I also cannot truly express how grateful I am to have such a kind-hearted PR rep. She continuously checked in on me and my family on a personal level, and she took care of all the stress and hard work I couldn’t focus on. I sincerely look forward to working with Laura and her team again in the future!” 

“Laura Orrico must be your go-to for all public relations needs. As a former candidate for Wheaton City Council, Ms. Orrico assisted me with media relations and press releases that were second to none. Her networking prowess provided me with appearances on webcasts, radio programs, newspapers, and magazines. As a result, I was able to clearly articulate my message in a race that had little mainstream press coverage due to its size. Laura is also a very talented photographer and has a knack for hosting events. Her experience will assist you in capturing the best moments for your networking opportunities. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura Orrico for your public relations needs as you will not find a more well-rounded professional in the Chicago market.”

“Laura Orrico Public Relations was neither the first nor only PR firm considered when I decided the time was opportune for a career boost, but I stopped my search after meeting with Laura. She won me over with her confident grasp of my business brand needs, her empathetic understanding of charting a strategy, and most importantly, her infectious enthusiasm to achieve results. From the get-go, her firm garnered an array of web press and interviews via video, radio, and article write-ups promoting my brand and current film project; eight in as many weeks, achieving a balance of local, national, and even international press for myself and the film. During our contract, Laura was professional, prompt, and proactive, compiling a comprehensive client overview and providing timely PR updates. Even after our term expired, she continued to follow up, and even extended perks like invitations to media events where I could expand my networking opportunities with industry trendsetters and veterans alike.  I look forward to working again soon with Laura Orrico Public Relations, LLC.”
