When reputation decides the outcome. Crisis, community relations and nonprofit PR, Boston.
The PR Bunker is the Boston-area firm organizations call when reputation decides the outcome: a crisis breaking, a project facing organized community opposition, a nonprofit that needs earned media to convert donors. Every engagement is handled directly by founder Don Martelli, a former journalist and former president of a large Boston PR agency with 25+ years of counsel. No junior handoffs. Crisis communications and rapid response. Clients get a 15 to 30 minute response plan before anything happens: pre-approved holding statements, a trained and named spokesperson, and a fact-verification gate so nothing goes out unconfirmed. Reputation management and executive visibility. Messaging, media training, and the earned coverage that shapes what search engines and AI assistants say about you. Community relations and public affairs. Contested Massachusetts development projects including data centers, battery storage, housing and mixed-use, and community benefits agreements under Executive Order 658. 165 million square feet of permitted development behind the practice. Nonprofit communications. One Boston Globe story raised $250,000 for a client with no direct ask. Based in Revere, Massachusetts. Serving Greater Boston and clients nationwide.

What was the objective behind your collaboration?We engaged PR Bunker to help build and execute our communications and PR strategy as we bring a new technology company and category to market. That has included everything from positioning and messaging to media strategy, outreach, and identifying opportunities to insert ourselves into relevant conversations.

What did you enjoy the most during your collaboration?PR Bunker brings a genuinely modern approach to PR. They understand how AI is changing not only the technology landscape, but the practice of communications itself, and they use that understanding to move faster and identify opportunities as they emerge. They’re strategic, creative, highly responsive, and willing to challenge conventional PR thinking rather than simply follow the old playbook. This is definitely not your father’s Oldsmobile. :-)
