Alexis Chateau PR is an independent public relations agency, providing services to entrepreneurs who fall outside the budget reach of big PR firms. 

At Alexis Chateau PR, we are all artists and entrepreneurs. Every team member has owned their own startup or professional freelance practice—sometimes both. And, we all have a creative background ranging from painting to music.

This has helped us form strong connections with our clients, and to relate on a level big PR agencies cannot. We know all the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and we understand the difficulties of getting your art before the right audience.

Our diverse team is made up of seven members. Together, we bring 80+ years of experience to the table. We are:

• Alexis Chateau, Founder & Managing Director
• Johnson Sainvil, Senior Business Consultant
• Randi Minetor, Key Adviser
• Shadow Chateau, Goodwill Ambassador
• Alyssa Williams, Senior Designer
• 1 View Point, Travel Agency
• Tristan O’Bryan, Junior Editor & Tech Support
