How We Make It Happen:

Public Relations and Media Strategy is about building a positive reputation. Spotlight Communications Group does this by sharing your story, business, or organization with the right people, like journalists, news outlets, community leaders, influencers, donors and investors. It’s about getting you talked about in a good way, so people trust you. We use communication strategies to get you publicity, focusing on earned, organic media coverage so you don’t spend money on advertising.

Crystal Bui, founder of Spotlight Communications Group, offers clients a distinct advantage: the insider perspective of an EMMY-nominated investigative news reporter. She understands the media landscape from the inside out, knowing precisely what captures attention and drives results.

Unlike traditional Public Relations and Media Strategy work, Crystal’s approach is rooted in real-world news experience. She excels at crafting compelling stories that resonate with journalists, securing placements in top-tier outlets for her clients—from broadcast television and major publications to influential podcasts. Her clients have been covered in Forbes Magazine, Yahoo News!, Business Insider, Fox News, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Washington Examiner, National Public Radio and other local television stations and national media outlets across the country — all without spending any money on advertising.

Her expertise extends beyond getting press and publicity for her clients. Crystal and her trained team of strategic communication professionals, branding videographers, and photographers, all provide comprehensive media strategy, on-camera coaching, and crisis communications, ensuring clients are prepared to capitalize on every opportunity for publicity.
