“Rachel is a true fan of music and that passion fuels her work ethic. She was always willing to take the time to talk with me on the phone when I needed advice, and she offered me more opportunities than were even a part of her job description. I couldn’t be happier with the results of my campaign and I would recommend Rachel to anyone seeking a publicist! She always finds a way to prioritize your project and will put in the extra hours, even if it’s a weekend. There is no doubt in my mind that if you want to build your brand you MUST have a publicist; it doesn’t matter how good your music is, without the PR it is damn near impossible to get any substantial results when promoting your release.” – King Corduroy

“Rachel and Baby Robot Media took such good care of us by getting us the coverage we felt our music deserved. Rachel’s professionalism, and constant contact kept our team on the same page for the entirety of our campaign and knowing that we had the folks at Baby Robot working on our behalf was quite a relief. We can’t thank Rachel enough for believing in our music, and helping us to cut through the noise, all while considering our busy touring schedule and odd hours. Rachel Hurley is a badass!” – Luke Mitchell

“I can’t say enough about Rachel and the team at Baby Robot. This was the best experience I’ve ever had with a PR company. They worked their asses off and consistently went above and beyond, not only getting us great write-ups and features, but also showing up to shows and posting vids and pics of the band. They treated us like they were fans and made us feel part of their family and not just another paycheck. They are a rare exception in the industry. Thank you Rachel!!” – Casey Shea

“Rachel was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her dedication and attention to detail were the best I have seen. This process was new to me and she broke it down each step of the way and made sure I was always kept up to date. She was always available whenever I needed and was always working to get my record and name in front of the right people. The amount of press and exposure that came from her hard work was beyond my expectations. I can not recommend her and Baby Robot enough. I will definitely be asking her to work my next record!” – David Quinn

“Rachel Hurley knocked my campaign out of the park! I was a nobody from nowhere, with no following, with a killer album and she, along with the Baby Robot team, got Seneca in all the right hands. They gave me 110% and showed absolute dedication to me. Rachel and the team brought the credibility needed for the music to be heard and speak for itself. I recommend Rachel Hurley and Baby Robot Media with all of my heart!” – Charles Wesley Godwin

“Simply put, Rachel Hurley is a remarkable publicist. Her tenacity, attention to detail and love for what she does makes her an asset to any band looking to give their music the press push and respect and care it deserves. Rachel is incredibly easy to work with, responds to emails with record speed, and is always available for any questions you have throughout your campaign. Thank you Rachel!” – Angela Petrilli

“For an independent artist, it can be scary investing in PR- but it’s also a crucial cog in the music machine! Baby Robot Media and Rachel Hurley, in particular, made the investment worth every damn penny. They truly kicked ass on my campaign and got me some killer press. Rachel was easy as pie to communicate with, quick to respond to everything, and made me feel supported EVERY step of the way. If I had to sum up my experience with Rachel it would be “above and beyond”!” – Dominique Pruitt

“I’m not sure what’s more impressive about Rachel – her talent or her dedication. I’ve worked with PR companies at all levels, and usually, people only have one or the other. Large brand-name companies have all the talent in the world, but with a bloated client list it’s hard to get individual attention. Smaller boutique companies tend to be highly dedicated to their projects, but often lack the heavy artillery necessary to run a successful campaign. Working with Rachel Hurley and the rest of the Baby Robot crew was a truly wonderful experience as they are the perfect marriage of the two.” – Kellen Wenrich

“Baby Robot Media, and Rachel Hurley, in particular, were an absolute pleasure to work with. We launched the campaign with the goal of getting some national press for our latest release, and Baby Robot delivered. From creating a timeline to maximize impact, to tour support and leveraging local press on the road, to hanging out and drinking beers in Texas, Rachel and the team went above and beyond. Communication was thorough and spot-on, in-depth weekly reports kept us up to date on what was going on, and they managed to make the whole process fun. We’d thoroughly recommend Rachel and the rest of the team at Baby Robot Media for any acts hoping to get their stuff out into the world, and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.” – Will Mallett

“Rachel worked her ass off on my campaign and was always available when I needed to talk something through or figure something out. She also did a great job of getting me to feel comfortable with things that would normally be outside of my comfort zone. It’s rare to find someone that you believe is actually looking out for you and she is that person. She is willing to go above and beyond for her clients. She is also fun to drink with.” – Chuck Westmoreland

“My hero Cowboy Jack Clement used to say people from Memphis speak in parables. A parable sketches a setting, describes an action, and shows the results. Which is exactly what Rachel Hurley, my new Memphis hero, has done for us at Coastal Bend Music. PR is scary, especially for a small label, with the usual tales of costly, failed expectations seemingly the norm. Rachel and Baby Robot have been the total opposite for us–giving us the plan, taking action on it, and showing us the results. Rachel’s deep love of music shows up in every step of a campaign, and I never felt my projects were just part of her job, but as important to her as they are to me. My go to from here on. Did I mention she’s from Memphis, too?” – John Macy (Coastal Bend Music / Producer)

“The first thing I noticed about Rachel is that she still deeply loves music. All kinds of music. She worked tirelessly on behalf of my last record. She’s smart and communicative. Honest and thorough. She does what she says she’s going to do… And then some. She helped to build one of the most successful campaigns I’ve experienced. And while I don’t know it to be true, I suspect she only takes on the work and music and artists she feels that gut love for. As an artist, that’s how you want to feel when you’re putting out what amounts to your lifeblood, that someone has your back and best interests at hand. And hopefully, those are hardworking and extremely capable hands, like Rachel’s. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat. Can’t recommend her enough.” – Matthew Ryan

“I can’t tell you the number of publicists I have hired over the years, where I may have literally thrown my money away. PR people will notoriously make big promises, take your money, and then disappear claiming that the album was “a really hard sell”. Well, Rachel not only delivered on all her promises, she literally blew me away with her passion, personal commitment, and faith in our project. I can’t recommend her highly enough.” – Ben Lee
Ross Cooper Sample Clips

“For me, putting together a hardworking team to work a record is paramount. At the end of the day, you want to work with someone who will absolutely fight for you. You want to work with someone who you can call at dang near any time of the day. Someone who sees your art and believes in it. That’s what’s important to me, and that’s what I have in Rachel Hurley and Baby Robot Media. I’ve honestly never worked with someone who is so devoted to work and quality of work. I’m very lucky to have gotten to work with this team. I never once felt like I was just a name on a roster in a mass press email. My album might’ve fallen flat if it wasn’t for Rachel. She knew my music, saw my vision, and executed the right markets. I can’t wait to work with them again on down the road. In short, she’s the best. ” – Ross Cooper

“Rachel is great to work with. She’s got the perspective it takes to look at the landscape, suss out the opportunities and get ’em in the bag for you. Also, she’s disarmingly friendly and wryly funny. She got us a lot of positive attention and helped us get many miles beyond where we were. It’s always easy to get in touch and you know when you’re talking, she’s listening. So when she’s talking, you should listen.” – Drew De Man

“I can honestly say I love Rachel Hurley. The word that comes to mind when thinking about her is “scrappy”. She’s a get-it-done kinda gal. She works hard for her clients looking for new avenues and ways to have our work featured in places that may be unconditional to the mainstream music listener but make sense for our niche of music. I look forward to working with Rachel and the entire Baby Robot staff when I release my next record and know my money will be well spent and my exposure maximized.” – Leslie Tom

“Rachel is a snow cone on a hot summer day, she’s the milk that washes down a pbj, she’s the duck tape to Macgyver, and she’s the only person I would trust to represent my songs. If she doesn’t work on my next project I’ll probably retire and move to Fiji. I hear they have great pineapple down there. ” – David Lareau

“I was really cautious when I decided to seek out PR. I knew I wanted the service but had heard a lot of stories from friends who had poured out their savings with no return. Baby Robot breaks that stereotype. Rachel Hurley consistently kept me up to date throughout and had my back on all things press-related. The energy of candidness, transparency and support that Baby Robot puts first made for a grateful addition to my album release.” – Loren Cole

“Rachel has to be one of the hardest working people in the business. When an artist signs on with a publicist, there are really no guarantees. The best thing you can do is hire someone with Rachel’s focus and work ethic. I don’t know how many campaigns she was working on simultaneously, but the quality of her service honestly made us feel like we were her only client during our campaign. She provided extremely prompt communication when we had a question or concern and most importantly, she provided results. ” Micah Walk

“Rachel was great for our release. Not only did we receive more press for our album than the previous one, but she also helped us manage the flow of press coming in. We were in Europe when the campaign started and touring the states after that, so things can be forgotten or maximum exposure mismanaged. She continually gave a list of the press to talk about and how it related to our campaign. We then could push on social media and guide social media promotion. She was also available any time I had questions about the campaign and I felt like I got honest input when I asked for it.” – Nick Dittmeier
