C&R PR works with premium travel and real estate brands, building media relationships across offices in Los Angeles, Charleston, Chicago, Dallas, London and Palm Beach. Founded in 2009 by Spencer Castillo and Pieter Ruig, the firm has developed particular expertise in golf marketing alongside its core travel and real estate practice, connecting client campaigns with journalists and tastemakers in those spaces.
Services span media relations, press releases and newsroom management, thought leadership PR, and corporate communications. Campaigns are built to carry client messages through sustained press coverage rather than one-off placements. The team behind this work includes Bruce Wallin as Chief Content Officer, Leila Ardehali as Chief of Staff, and Cayla Kondo as Senior Vice President of Real Estate, supported by Account Directors Jamie Gnazzo, Macy Bales and Alix West, and Senior Account Supervisor Rachael Moss.
Spencer Castillo has represented more than 75 real estate ventures over the course of his career, while Pieter Ruig has managed PR campaigns for globally recognized luxury travel, golf, and resort real estate projects. Collectively, C&R PR has secured thousands of media placements for its clients, reflecting a track record built specifically around the travel, real estate, and golf sectors it serves.
