Core offering

Consort Partners is a boutique PR agency that operates as a newsroom of editors, journalists, and PR veterans. The firm proactively creates story ideas, seeds them with editors, and secures coverage in top-tier media outlets on behalf of clients, including when there is no hard news event to announce.

Product overview

Consort Partners is a PR and media relations agency, not a technology product company. The company operates as a newsroom of editors, journalists, and PR veterans who create and place stories across top-tier media outlets. Their core service offering involves reverse-engineering the news to proactively create story ideas, seed these ideas with editors, and secure coverage for clients — even when there is no hard news. Founded in 2004 and led by founders Dominic Johnson and Kathy Johnson, the agency employs a team of 30+ journalists, PR professionals, and marketing experts. The company does not offer software products, platforms, or technology modules.
