“There are three kinds of people in this world: Those who watch things happen, those who wonder what happened, and those who make things happen. It’s that simple when it comes to the PR world in my book. The McRae Agency not only makes things happen, but they also make sure things keep happening! ECM Technologies would not be where we are today without them. They constantly exceed our expectations.”

"I recently came to know The McRae Agency through their long-standing relationship with Solatube International, who recently joined the Kingspan family.  Their extensive knowledge of the daylighting industry made for an easy transition into the rest of our business, and I’ve seen our partnership start to pay dividends almost from the start.  It has been a pleasure working with Beth, who clearly understands our businesses and what focus will produce results.  And Samantha and Robin are very responsive to our business needs, and never fail to offer up ideas and strategies to help position Kingspan Light + Air as the leader in daylighting.  I appreciate the McRae teams’ efforts to date and look forward to a partnership that will only get stronger with time and will continue to deliver the results we are looking for."

​“All of us at Phoenix Art Museum counts ourselves lucky to have benefited from the incredible service provided by Beth McRae and the team at the McRae Agency. Through her wide breadth of experience as a professional communicator and relationship builder, Beth helped the Museum take publicity and press for two of its most beloved signature events—the ACI Holiday Luncheon and the pARTy in the Garden annual gala—to the next level, and helped the Museum not only to increase awareness and brand recognition, but to grow revenue and to build inroads into communities we’d not previously tapped.

 

Her kindness and generosity blended with her keen mind and brilliant strategies make her an incredible counselor for any senior executive. We cannot thank Beth and her team enough for all that they have done for Phoenix Art Museum, and recommend her services to other cultural, non-profit and for-profit organizations. You will be glad you did.”

"For more than eight years I’ve had the honor of working with Beth McRae. From her serving as the 50th anniversary Heart Ball Chair, to her active engagement as a member of the American Heart Association’s board of directors, Beth is always willing and able to share her public relations expertise to help the AHA. In addition to her generous donation of time and talents, Beth has an unbelievable willingness to make time for media opportunities at any given hour, and serve as a spokesperson.

As an American Heart Association volunteer Beth is dependable, professional and above all passionate about her commitment to increase the quality of life for all people through the elimination of cardiovascular disease. Her passion is contagious, as is her calm and confident demeanor. It has been nothing short of a huge privilege to work with Beth on many different projects and levels.

Because of Beth McRae, the American Heart Association’s visibility has escalated throughout Arizona and country. Her strong sense of commitment is second to none, as is her integrity. It has been nothing short of amazing working alongside Beth! To me she epitomizes that of an outstanding professional woman!"

“I knew that handing over our Beaujolais Nouveau project to Beth McRae was going to be a fun project, but I had no idea how much return on our investment we would reap in the process!  Through Beth’s far reaching contacts, she created newness and buzz for our 30-year Anniversary Vintage release.  Her efforts have since created a lasting Halo Effect for the other brands associated with our Nouveau wines!  This was such a needed and added bonus!  The agency’s work was meticulously detailed and seamless, her timing and follow up was impeccable, and her team was wonderfully efficient and professional!  We strongly recommend and look forward to working with Beth again in the future!”

Beth runs a top-notch PR company and was instrumental in helping me spread the word when I launched my new company, Charity Charms, in 2005.

I highly recommend Beth and her company, The McRae Agency.
