Testimonials
When you work with me, you're not just hiring a publicist — you're getting a dedicated partner who shows up with purpose and delivers results. I’ve spent over 15 years in music, entertainment, and lifestyle PR, and I treat every campaign like it’s my own. I don’t do generic. I don’t do halfway. I build strategies that get you noticed — and I back them up with relentless execution.
Whether it’s launching a record, filling a venue, or building a brand that turns heads, I bring the experience, media relationships, and hustle to make it happen. My clients know I’m hands-on, responsive, and fully committed from day one. I don’t just aim for coverage — I go after impact.
This isn’t a 9-to-5 gig — this is my life. I live for the music, the energy, and the opportunity to help artists and creatives rise. If you're ready to break through the noise and build something real, I’m the publicist who gets it done.

What Clients Are Saying

Violating Community Standards
We worked with Raquel on our recent album release, and we are super stoked with the results! We clicked with her right away, to the point where we now consider her part of the VCS family. She has a style that we really vibe with: casual yet direct and to the point. She has lots of creative ideas, and you can tell it all comes from a genuine place of love for the music, and wanting to help people.
Raquel has lots of connections in the industry, and they all want to help her and her artists because she is real and down to earth. Her connections aren’t just business contacts, but actual friends. And again, it’s because everything she does comes from a place of genuine care. Care for the artists, the scene, and the music itself.
As for what she did for us, she got us reviews, interviews and lots of press. But most importantly, through her contacts we were able to get a song in rotation on Sirius XM satellite radio!
If you need a rock n roll publicist, hire Raquel!

We brought Raquel in to help us promote the release of our new record, and even though she came highly recommended, she surpassed all of our expectations. She set up reviews, interviews, and press for the album and followed up every lead like an absolute pro. She’s great at connecting people gracefully, which makes the process smooth and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for PR services, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

October Noir
Raquel Figlo has gone above and beyond for us with her skill and gift. One of the biggest obstacles we run in to is working alongside of those who understand and truly love what we are doing. From interviews to reviews, label interest, media promotion, and even wrangling up shows/touring… this girl has given her passion for what we do. We consider her our number one. No one else to work with is even on our radar at this point. We will always use Raquel for services.

I hired Raquel to help my promote my book and she did an amazing job for me! She was on top of everything, has amazing contacts and helped my book hit #1 on the Book Soup Non-Fiction Hardcover Books. She set up my book signing there and helped promote it and the place was sold out! I can't say enough good things about how great of a job she did for me. I will definitely hire again for a future project.
