Yield PR

What Yield PR does

Yield PR (legal entity Yield LLC) is a Detroit-based independent marketing communications agency founded in 2013 by Kate Fettig Posby. The firm delivers a unified suite of five core services: Marketing Strategy & Planning, Media Messaging and Material Development, Public Relations and Media Outreach, Influencer and Creator Engagement, and Event Planning and Execution. Clients are primarily local and regional SMBs and non-profits across Food & Beverage, Restaurants, Retail, Hospitality, Real Estate, Community Development, Travel & Experience, and Non-Profit verticals.

The business operates as a professional services firm with no proprietary technology platform; all output is human-delivered consulting, media relations, content, and event work. GTM is sales-led and consultative, with prospective clients reaching out via the firm's website contact form and engagements scoped as custom, quote-based projects rather than standardized packages. The agency's marketing channel is essentially its own portfolio of earned media placements in Detroit-area outlets (Fox 2 News Detroit, Detroit Free Press, Hour Detroit, Wine Enthusiast, dBusiness, Eater Detroit, Metro Times), which function as case studies for client acquisition.

Yield PR is a privately held LLC with 1-10 employees and no disclosed external funding or institutional investors. The firm is founder-owned and founder-led, with Kate Fettig Posby personally bringing over two decades of corporate, agency, and consultant experience from prior senior roles at global communications firms Burson-Marsteller, Edelman, MWW, and OLSON. Geographic focus is the Detroit metropolitan area, with no global footprint claims or international clients disclosed.
