As a women-founded public relations agency with 20 years of client success, ChicExecs addresses modern review culture and the reality of misleading third-party platforms.

SAN DIEGO, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ChicExecs, a women-founded, global public relations agency specializing in retail placement, digital marketing, and brand visibility, is speaking out about online transparency amid a growing tide of algorithmic influence and anonymous reviews.

As AI-generated search summaries and bot-driven comment threads increasingly shape public perception, ChicExecs, an award-winning public relations agency, is taking a stand to advocate for more accurate, authentic representation of businesses in today's digital landscape.

Founded by Nikki Carlson and Kailynn Bowling, ChicExecs has built long-term relationships with its clients, delivering standout results in both retail store placements—including partnerships with Target and Costco—and public relations wins like national media features on Good Morning America. Like many growing agencies, ChicExecs has occasionally faced a small number of reviews that misrepresent the scope and success of their work.

"We live in an era where Reddit threads and other third-party site engagements can be dominated by bots, misleading content or scams posing as brands," said Nikki Carlson, Co-Founder of ChicExecs. "It's critical that we speak up, not just for ourselves, but for all businesses affected by this trend. We frequently support our clients through crisis management and the new era requires a different approach."

Unlike e-commerce brands, service businesses rarely get spontaneous glowing reviews from happy clients, even after years of successful work. Instead, the company's best testimonials come through renewals, referrals and long-term relationships. Despite this industry norm, ChicExecs has defied expectations, earning hundreds of five-star reviews from satisfied clients and trusted by over 250 brands annually.

"ChicExecs knocked our PR out of the park—landing us in Forbes, Medium, and Marie Claire. That exposure helped us land in major retailers like Petsmart, Target, Petco, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Dillard's. The record speaks for itself."
— Christine, Founder, Pet Accessories

"Other PR firms talk the talk. ChicExecs walks it. I've worked with them across multiple brands—they deliver every time."
— Jen, Multi-Brand Owner, Beauty Industry

ChicExecs handles every piece of client feedback seriously and is deeply invested in each brand's success. The team is known for quickly stepping in with proactive solutions—whether that means additional service hours, strategic pivots, or added support at no cost.

"We've never taken our clients' trust for granted," added Kailynn Bowling, Co-Founder. "We don't ghost, we don't deflect. We dive in, solve the problem and make it right. One bad month doesn't define two great years of work. But sometimes it can feel that way online — and that's why we're reframing the conversation."
