Three Girls Media

History

Three Girls Media & Marketing was founded in June, 2005, by Erika Taylor Montgomery, the company’s CEO and Chief Publicist.

Three Girls' Founder & CEO, Erika Taylor Montgomery

At the time, Erika was at a crossroads.  Following an award-winning 10 year PR career, preceded by 18 years as a successful journalist, radio and TV host in the San Francisco Bay Area, Erika was torn: Should she dive into another high-paying corporate job with endless hours, thankless employers, and businesses that only talked about families being first, or should she take another major career leap into something more rewarding?

It didn’t take Erika long to choose.  With nothing more than an idea, a notepad, and a $3,000 loan from a friend, Three Girls Media & Marketing, Inc. was born.  Erika would never again be told that she couldn’t leave work early to attend her son’s cello concert or soccer game, or to do volunteer work with her Certified Service Dog!

Why call the company Three Girls? Erika was sure of one thing:  If you want to spread the word about something, who should you tell?  Three girls…and the news will spread like wildfire! The name was catchy, and the signature logo photo of girls gossiping by the school locker enhanced the message perfectly!

When creating Three Girls’ unique business model, Erika drew on her insider knowledge of both the media and public relations.  She wanted the company to be anything but a traditional PR Agency, so Erika focused on what she knew best – media – and on the audience she knew often needed PR the most but could afford it the least – emerging businesses.  Knowing that smaller companies often have smaller budgets, Erika developed Three Girls’ cost effective All-Inclusive, Nationwide Media Campaigns and signature Al la Carte Menu that offer everything companies need for successful PR programs.

Erika also wanted to ensure small businesses had something tangible to show for their hard-earned dollars, so Three Girls became the first PR Firm in the nation to guarantee results! Yes, GUARANTEE! Why go out on a limb and actually promise media coverage when everyone told her it was impossible?  As a top-level journalist for many years, Erika knows exactly what the press is looking for–and how they want to get it!  She developed Three Girls’ proprietary media formula that works so well we’re confident enough to guarantee press coverage…we’re just that good!

Three Girls’ success has skyrocketed since its birth in 2005.  Now a well-established agency with an astonishing track record of success, Three Girls has completely broken the mold of ‘traditional’ PR.  With our trademarked virtual press kits and clients who stay with us for second, third and fourth campaigns, we’ve earned a reputation for being different!

We’re proud to be different as an employer, too.  Three Girls doesn’t just talk about families being first…we live it! Whether that means office dogs barking occasionally or kids at staff meetings now and then, each member of our team is encouraged to make whatever scheduling allowances are needed to ensure the health and welfare of their families and themselves.  Since Three Girls’ launch, the company has rapidly expanded to become a dynamic team.
