Di Moda PR, led by the expertise of Diana Bianchini, is a perfect blend of poise, passion, and performance. The Team is well-rounded and well-connected, and helped us gain tremendous exposure for HELM's fall boot launch, named The Calistoga. We showed up in new places we've never appeared, and familiar ones who hadn't heard from us in quite awhile. Di Moda's work in retail, spirits, and hospitality gets results, and the agency is fun and flexibility to meet the needs of each project.April 3, 2024

Pros:

  • Di Moda came with a clear plan of action and with exposure to the plan's results, each step of the way.

  • Di Moda is a well oiled machine. They are as innovative at reaching new market segments as they are professional. Diana Bianchini launched my business in 2005 and within 9 months we were slated as one of the top 100 luxury children's stores in the country. We were instantly highly visible with Di Moda. Creative ways to enter new customer segments were introduced and the PR campaign was very consistent and results driven. Di Moda measures their results in a very scrutinizing manner and uses the highest benchmarks to evaluate their effectiveness in creating brand awareness for their clients. I never felt over promised and under delivered. I had a very clear sense of goals and expectations that we developed together.

  • The Di Moda Public Relations team was efficient, effective and most of all savvy to what works in today's marketplace. Their extensive experience and expertise with non-profits secured strong ROI and brand awareness. We are thrilled!

  • I was impressed with the extreme dedication of their team. They were really good at proposing strategy and at keeping us moving, quickly, in the right direction. As a design focussed brand we appreciated the synergies between their clients.

Cons:

  • The brief we provided was specific to one pair, and I'd have optimized it, in hindsight, because we could have given Di Moda so more much to work with had we broadened the scope.

  • That I couldn't afford to make myself their only client and have all of their time!

  • Our experience was favorable. There is nothing of note that I would change. DiMonda PR has the bandwidth and expertise to provide regional, national and international services.

  • Not one negative! Di Moda Public Relations is as good as it gets!

Pros:
It was incredibly valuable to get a sharp eye in Public Relations to guide us through media works to steer direction of business decisions from how to engage with customers via social media all the way to how to provide perfectly worded pieces that highlight aspects of business to the right media outlets. This has allowed us to create a highly respected business within our industry allowing our brand presence to go beyond our local community. Di Moda's long experience in the public relations industry also allows for keen insight into how company's products and services cross over into other industries. This has allowed for brand reach far beyond the industry we are a part of.
Cons:
It's difficult to talk about least liked aspects of working with Di Moda since we have had such a positive working relationship. I have no doubt anyone working with Di Moda will come to the same conclusion.

Overall Experience: Diana and the entire Di Moda team have been nothing short of amazing in their help, support and promotion with me and every venture we've been involved with. From start to finish, they have consistently shown up and delivered in representing me, my brand, my book and my name. I would and have recommended Di Moda PR to both professional and personal contacts.

I've worked with Diana and DiModa across a number of different clients I consult for. She's the only PR company I refer even when clients and my network may be looking for bigger agencies.

Overall Experience: I have known DiModa PR since 2008 when we collaborated on outreach and advocacy around social impact design. And more than a decade after, Diana and her team helped my fledgling organisation Community Design Agency with PR in India and abroad. Their ability to operate across countries and cultures really sets Dimoda PR apart. And I really appreciate their commitment towards creating long term relationships with their clients thats goes beyond just the business/ project.
