Frequently Asked Questions
Does ChowPR cover Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa as well as Phoenix?
Yes. We pitch media covering the full Phoenix metro area including Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert. Local outlet coverage often breaks down by suburb — we target accordingly.
Is the Phoenix market competitive for restaurant PR?
Less competitive than coastal markets, which is actually an advantage. Arizona food journalists have more capacity to cover new stories, and a good pitch gets read. ChowPR's systematic outreach works especially well in mid-sized markets like Phoenix.
Can I run a campaign for a Tucson restaurant?
Yes — we pitch Arizona Statewide media and Tucson-specific outlets including the Arizona Daily Star and Tucson Weekly's food coverage.
