About Us

Allen Media Strategies is one of Washington, DC’s premiere media, marketing and PR consultation and strategy firms serving authors, entertainers, subject matter experts and thought leaders. When you engage our services, you can expect the following benefits:

  • One-on-one Attention: We’re a small, boutique firm with a very selective client roster and we like it that way..
  • Customized Strategy: Every client, every project is unique; that’s why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to what we do for you.
  • Results, not Reports: We won’t give you long lists of what we couldn’t accomplish; we’d rather spend that time and effort working on what we can get done for you.
  • Industry Insight: Our team is made up of industry insiders and award-winning media professionals. We leverage that knowledge, and those contacts, for your benefit.
  • Competitive Pricing: We hear horror stories about clients who spend huge money for zero results. That never happens here. Ever. If you have realistic expectations, we’ll exceed them every time..

What Others Say About Us

“Thank you so much, Burke. I recommended you to an ex-astronaut who has a new book out. Hope he contacts you. You’re the best!”

“I’m so proud to have Burke Allen as a key member of Team Landau. He really gets P.R. and knows everyone in the media; it seems like any time I go to do an interview with a TV station, radio station or newspaper, they know Burke. And his attention to detail and hard work are awesome. He’s my boy…love him.”

“Burke Allen has been an angel in my life, pure and simple. Not only is he one of the most decent men I’ve ever known, but he has to be the hardest working man in media. His organizational skills and his attention to detail never cease to amaze me, and don’t even get me started on this man’s energy. He never stops! Working with Burke and Allen Media Strategies has changed my life in ways that are almost impossible to describe. I only wish my late husband, Bob Denver of “Gilligan’s Island”, could have been the recipient of Burke’s TLC with his clients. I know one thing for sure – Bob is smiling down, knowing that I’m in good hands. Thank you, Burke, from both of us.”

“Burke, Being privy to your team and all the work you do, I am continually in awe of you guys and grateful to you of your continuing efforts! 
Thank you!”
