High-Impact Media. Global Reach. Croatian Soul.

PrimePressQ is a U.S.-based media placement company with deep roots in Croatia, founded with one mission in mind: to make world-class media exposure accessible to those who’ve been locked out of it for far too long.

It all started with Lejla — a brand builder, marketing expert, and strategist with over 20 years of experience in scaling brands across industries. From global campaigns and celebrity partnerships to high-stakes PR launches in the U.S. femtech space, she’s seen what it takes to make a message stick — and what often holds great brands back.

While leading high-impact marketing at a U.S.-based femtech company, Lejla met Ana, a marketing strategist with 7+ years of experience scaling startups across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. Ana had led everything from product launches to full-funnel DTC growth, managing global teams and building brands.

The two quickly clicked—marketers on a mission, both frustrated by the same outdated system. They realized something: the traditional PR world was built for the big guys, not the bold ones. Startups, visionaries, and small brands were usually left behind… unless they could afford a $12K+ monthly retainer, on one one-year contract commitment, and wait six months to see results.

So they decided to build something different.

Then came Matthew, a sharp mind from the world of finance and sales. With a background at Guaranteed Rate and JP Morgan, he brought structure, systems, and a fresh layer of logic into a space that desperately needed clarity. Together, they began shaping PrimePressQ not just as a PR company, but as a media engine that could scale.

Along the way, the right people showed up. Miranda, based in New York, brought years of editorial experience and the kind of instinct that knows exactly what makes a story headline-worthy. Mariana, an award-winning storyteller from Sydney, Australia, infused the team with soul, carrying years of broadcasting and narrative work that gave our campaigns emotional depth and resonance. Daniel, a natural closer with a heart for service, took our mission and turned it into momentum, making sure the brands we work with feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

It wasn’t a core team that came together overnight; it was a calling that gathered the right people at the right time, and it’s growing little by little in the best possible way.

We're not just building a PR platform. We're building a movement — one story, one placement, one breakthrough at a time.

Why We Exist

Because traditional PR wasn’t built for people like you or businesses like yours.

  • Long retainers

  • Vague deliverables

  • Unreachable media connections

  • And a whole lot of waiting and hoping

We don’t do fluff. We don’t do gatekeeping.
We do strategy, storytelling, and guaranteed placements — at the speed modern brands need to grow.

With a world-class editorial team across the U.S., Australia, and Europe and access to 360+ top-tier global outlets, PrimePressQ helps founders, startups, tourism boards, and small businesses get featured where it counts — without wasting time or budget.

Our Mission

To democratize PR and give every bold idea, brand, and founder the visibility they deserve — no matter their size, stage, or starting point.

A Word From Our Founder

I’ve lost count of how many incredible founders, destinations, or creative projects I’ve seen that had everything except visibility. The product is there. The brand story is there. Even the impact is real. But they’re still stuck pitching themselves on social, hoping something catches. Or burning budgets on PR firms that might get them into top media — someday.

Here’s the truth no one talks about: Credibility is currency. And in today’s market, the fastest way to earn it is through trusted third-party storytelling — not ads, not hashtags.

Let me tell you a quick story…

A few years ago, I was CMO at a US femtech company. We had an exciting product launch and hosted a prestige event at Nobu Malibu. The setting was perfect. The crowd? Even better, 40+ influencers, celebrities, everything you’d dream of for a global launch.

But the PR agency we hired? Delivered the press two weeks late. And most of it was Tier 2 and Tier 3 coverage, which we hadn’t even agreed on. By the time a single piece went live, the buzz was gone. No one cares about reading event recaps two weeks after the fact.

And the consequences? None. Most PR agencies work on long retainers (10K+ per month) with KPIs that basically come down to: pray someone bites.

That campaign cost over €300,000. We executed every detail beautifully — except the final kick. And it taught me the hardest (and most expensive) lesson of all: Visibility delayed is visibility denied.

That experience planted the seed for PrimePressQ. Honestly, I sometimes joke that this company was built out of my pure frustration :)

Here’s what we do differently: We don’t pitch and pray. We guarantee placements in top-tier media like Forbes, Condé Nast Traveller, Business Insider, Glamour, TechCrunch, and many others. We only charge for actual results. No placement? No payment. Simple as that.

If you’re building something bold and ready to be truly seen, ask yourself: Is the world hearing your story from the right stage?

We’d love to help you take the mic.
