Josh Steimle is the founder of Canvas PR, a public relations firm that specializes in providing guaranteed media placements for clients. His journey into PR began in 2013 when he was struggling to save his marketing agency, MWI, which had lost most of its accounts due to management issues. Seeking a solution, he turned to a friend in PR who encouraged him to write articles for major publications instead of hiring someone else to do it. This led him to contribute over 300 articles to outlets like Forbes, Fast Company, and TIME, significantly boosting his agency's visibility and revenue by over $10 million attributed to his writing efforts.12
Steimle's experiences as a writer revealed the inefficiencies in traditional PR pitches, which often lacked quality and creativity. This insight inspired him to create Canvas PR, which aims to deliver effective PR services that emphasize quality placements in top-tier publications for a fixed price. The company operates with a model likened to a "PR vending machine," where clients can expect tangible results from their investment.134
In addition to his work at Canvas PR, Josh Steimle has also founded Pando Partners and is known for his public speaking engagements and contributions to various media platforms.5 His unique approach combines his expertise in writing with a deep understanding of the PR landscape, making him a notable figure in the industry.
