Ecommerce PR in Chicago
From deep-dish legends to Michelin-starred tasting menus.
Why PR4ECOM in Chicago?
Chicago's ecommerce scene punches above its weight globally — it's one of only a handful of US cities with a Michelin Guide, a strong James Beard presence, and a food media ecosystem sophisticated enough to compete with New York and Los Angeles. PR4ECOM has deep relationships with the Chicago Tribune food desk, Eater Chicago, and the city's influential food blogging community. We've helped brands from Wicker Park to the Loop earn the kind of editorial attention that drives sales.

Areas We Cover

The Chicago Market
Chicago's food critics are among the most credible voices in American dining. Phil Vettel's work at the Tribune has launched careers and ended restaurants. Eater Chicago covers the scene with the depth of a much larger market. The city's James Beard Award nominations attract national attention to Chicago brands every spring — a PR opportunity few brands exploit strategically.
