§ Overview
Public Relations at Madelle Media.
Madelle Media is a public relations agency based in Greenville, South Carolina. We handle media relations for restaurants, venues, festivals, fitness brands, and lifestyle businesses across the Carolinas and the Southeast. Our PR work includes media strategy, press releases and announcements, story pitching to local and national outlets, event publicity, thought leadership placement, and reputation management. We build and maintain direct relationships with journalists, editors, and producers who cover food and beverage, live entertainment, wellness, and regional culture, then pitch each story to the writers who actually cover that beat. Clients have earned coverage in Forbes, USA Today, Garden & Gun, and regional publications and broadcast outlets. Engagements are typically monthly retainers that combine ongoing outreach with launch, opening, or event-specific pushes, though single-campaign projects are available. Every engagement starts with positioning: what the brand stands for, which audiences matter, and which stories are genuinely newsworthy. Reporting shows placements, reach, and the relationships built along the way.
