Buzz Creators

What Buzz Creators does

Buzz Creators, Inc. is a privately held, founder-led boutique public relations and marketing communications firm headquartered in Valhalla, Westchester County, New York. Founded in 2009 by Christina Rae after senior communications roles at MasterCard Worldwide and CIT Group, the firm has operated continuously for over 15 years and employs between 11 and 50 people. Its service portfolio spans five core areas: Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing Communications, Social Media, and Branding, delivered through specialized practice areas including media relations, strategic PR campaigns, writing/editing, branding, and event execution (grand openings, ribbon cuttings, media dinners). The firm operates from 'The Hive,' its newly opened office space, and produces ongoing editorial content via its Buzz Blog.

Buzz Creators serves a deliberately diversified client base spanning enterprise, mid-market, SMB, nonprofit, and startup customers. Named enterprise clients include Barnes & Noble, HEINEKEN USA, MasterCard Worldwide, Stew Leonard's, UBS Financial Services, DoubleTree by Hilton, American Heart Association, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society; nonprofit and local clients include Legal Services of the Hudson Valley, the Westchester Community Foundation, and start-ups such as X-Golf Scarsdale. The firm's stated customer segments are regional small-to-medium businesses in Westchester and metro NY, national and global enterprises needing local market support, nonprofit organizations, and newly launched businesses requiring initial visibility. Revenue is generated through custom-quoted professional services fees under project-based, retainer, or multi-year engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The firm's go-to-market is primarily relationship-led and community-driven: client acquisition flows from referral networks, chamber of commerce and business association memberships (at least seven listed), awards pursuit, thought leadership (podcasts, panel speaking, media appearances by Christina Rae), content marketing via the Buzz Blog, and direct consultative engagement. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity; the firm remains tightly held by its founder, with modest organic hiring signals and a recent physical office expansion into 'The Hive' (April 2026) as the most material recent operational signal.
