Rooted in Central Florida yet recognized nationwide, the agency blends local insight with newsroom speed to protect and elevate brands when every second counts.

From Newsroom to Brand Defense

Before launching Inside Advantage PR in 2015, Beaton spent years reporting and producing for CNN, HLN, ABC News, CBS, the BBC, and Orlando’s own TV and radio stations. That newsroom DNA now drives the firm’s approach:

  • Speed: Turning statements around in minutes, not days

  • Precision: Messaging shaped by a reporter’s eye for detail

  • Credibility: Relationships with journalists built on trust and clarity

“It’s almost impossible to be an effective PR rep for a law firm without solid knowledge of how newsrooms work.” — Jonathan Beaton, Lawdragon interview

Orlando Roots, National Reach

Headquartered in Orlando, the firm serves clients across Florida and the United States in industries such as legal, finance, tech, healthcare, and professional services.
