  • WHAT WE DO

    Awareness Is Not A Luxury

    GdR PR is a Los Angeles-based independent publicity practice that secures editorial coverage in direct support of our clients’ real-world business objectives.

     

    Beyond generic visibility and shallow stories, GdR PR is committed to telling our clients’ complete narrative with lengthy profiles, investigative features, and in-depth coverage. It's an aggressive, results-driven approach that places clients on shortlists for big brand deals, builds audiences, and creates the name recognition necessary to expand businesses. Ultimately, we help clients make more money.

  • HOW WE DO IT

    Research, Package, Pitch, Repeat

    With over a dozen years of experience in esports, entertainment and digital media, GdR PR is operated independently by senior publicist and press agent Gabriel del Rio. Under a transparent and results-first approach, del Rio leverages rich relationships with editors, reporters and industry executives to secure coverage that counts.

     

    Bound by accountability, professional integrity and an expectation to deliver actual coverage, GdR PR is forced to avoid expensive, traditional agency pitfalls, and instead, just pitch. And pitch a lot.

     

    The agency commits its hours to personally tailoring story ideas that fit the exact beat of high-profile journalists and never resorts to spammy email blasts. We read relevant news, recognize market shifts and forecast trends in order to package pitches with supporting data, verifiable assets and an honest sense of urgency.

     

    When clients need coverage that counts, they count on us.
