our story
A decade of Philadelphia, built into a network.
What began as a blog about events and networking has grown into the city's most connected public relations, social media, influencer, and event production firm.
since 2011
We don't write press releases. We build relationships.
Philly PR Girl LLC is a full-service public relations, social media, influencer marketing, and event production firm headquartered in Philadelphia. We work with restaurants, hospitality groups, lifestyle brands, nonprofits, athletes, and founders to translate what they do into the coverage, community, and connections that grow it.
Founded by Kate Marlys Rodgers in 2011, we've spent more than a decade earning a reputation as the city's go-to connectors. We've placed clients in Forbes, NBC10, Fox 29, Philadelphia Magazine, Philadelphia Style, PHL17, and Main Line Today — and we've produced hundreds of ribbon-cuttings, openings, galas, and brand experiences across the region.
We are independent, woman-led, and proudly Philadelphia-based. We're not bound.
