Who We Are
At Grace Taylor Brands, we specialize in media relations for companies in the kids, pets, and food spaces.
We bring the same personal touch and professionalism that our sister company, Grace Taylor PR, is known for. While Grace Taylor PR specializes in elevating authors and books, Grace Taylor Brands is focused on lifestyle products that make everyday moments better.
Our clients benefit from deep industry knowledge across the parenting, pet, and food categories, along with strong relationships with national and niche media. Every campaign is built around a story-first strategy designed to connect emotionally and drive meaningful results.
We don’t just get your name out there. We get it into the right hands, with the right message, at the right time.
What We Offer
Strategic Story Development
We uncover the strongest angles in your brand story—whether it's a founder's journey, a product innovation, or a mission that matters. Then we shape those angles into media-ready narratives that resonate with editors, producers, and content creators.
Targeted Media Outreach
We don’t do generic pitches. We research and reach out to the right journalists and outlets—parenting magazines, food publications, pet media, podcasts, blogs, and national lifestyle platforms—with customized outreach designed for maximum impact.
Product Launch Campaigns
Launching a new product? We'll help you build buzz with preview pitching, influencer seeding, sample coordination, and press follow-up. From baby gear to gourmet snacks to pet wellness, we know how to get your product noticed.
Holiday & Seasonal Gift Guide Placement
We pitch your brand for key media moments throughout the year—Mother’s Day, Back-to-School, Halloween, the Holidays, and more. We handle all the editorial calendars, timing, and follow-up so you don’t have to.
Founder Features & Thought Leadership
Your voice matters. We position you as a leader in your category through expert interviews, contributor opportunities, and brand storytelling. Whether you're a parentpreneur, pet industry innovator, or food founder, we help media get to know you.
Media Tracking & Campaign Reporting
We track every win and keep you informed with detailed, easy-to-read reports that highlight where your brand is featured and how it’s growing.
Who We Work With
We work with purpose-driven brands that serve families in meaningful ways.
In the children’s space, that includes toys, books, apparel, gear, and learning tools.
In the pet category, we support products and services like food, wellness, grooming, and accessories.
For food and beverage brands, we focus on snacks, meal solutions, family staples, and specialty foods.
We also collaborate with founders and experts—from parenting coaches and food creators to pet advocates and more.
