GROWTH MODE Premier is a bespoke, fully managed PR retainer for founders, executives, creators, and industry experts. We build it around your goals, your industry, and the rooms you want to be in, then we run it for you: media and podcast pitching, LinkedIn thought leadership, media coaching, and narrative strategy. You show up. We handle everything else.
GROWTH MODE Premier is the white glove PR retainer from GROWTH MODE, a PR agency founded by Lexie Smith, a 15-year PR veteran based in Ventura, California. There is no fixed deliverable list. Every engagement is scoped around you. We do not just respond to opportunities. We create them by developing story angles, identifying the right journalists and podcast hosts, and pitching you directly. We operate as an extension of your leadership team, so you are positioned in the right conversations, not just included in them.

For the founder, executive, or expert whose visibility directly impacts business growth. If you want to be the name journalists and podcast hosts think of first, and you want a strategic, proactive approach instead of doing it yourself, Premier is built for you.
MEDIA & PODCAST PITCHING
We track PR opportunity platforms every day for press and podcast opportunities matched to your expertise and goals.
Every relevant opportunity is pitched on your behalf in your voice. Never templated, never generic.
Up to 2 proactive cold pitches per month where we identify the journalist or host, develop an original story angle, and make the case from scratch. Reserved for moments when the fit and timing are compelling.
We field, vet, and coordinate every media and podcast request that comes your way so nothing falls through the cracks.
When your profile and the opportunity are the right fit, we identify, negotiate, and manage paid speaking, media, and podcast opportunities on your behalf. This includes opportunities you pay for, and opportunities where you get paid.
Your expert profiles are created, optimized, and maintained across key platforms, hosted on agency accounts.
CONTENT & LINKEDIN
We come prepared with prompts, transcribe your responses, and deliver formatted ready-to-post LinkedIn content written entirely in your voice.
We monitor the news cycle and proactively develop content angles tied to what is happening in your industry for timely posting between calls.
Every media mention, appearance, and placement is repurposed into LinkedIn content.
We produce the content, you approve with one click, and we handle the rest.
