Baden Bower was founded in 2018 by AJ Ignacio after watching Australian businesses pay $8,000 to $20,000 a month to traditional PR agencies and receive nothing publishable. The model is simple: name the publication upfront, write the article, place it, then bill. If a story does not run, the client receives a refund as set out in the terms and conditions.
The Australian team operates out of Bellevue Hill in Sydney. Most local clients close their strategy call and have a first live URL within 14 business days.
If Baden Bower fails to deliver the agreed editorial placement in the agreed publication, you get a refund as set out in the terms and conditions. No ifs, no qualifications around effort.
