PR Bunker

PR Bunker is a Boston-based crisis communications and reputation management consultancy led by Don Martelli, a former journalist with more than 25 years across newsrooms, PR, and public affairs. We work with organizations whose next outcome depends on how the public, the press, and the people in the room see them, and we're usually brought in when that outcome is already in motion.

Our clients are real estate developers, municipalities, public utilities, infrastructure and AEC firms, energy storage developers facing community engagement, transit operators and contractors, and nonprofits under pressure. The work falls into seven situations we've handled again and again: community opposition, public-trust approvals, crisis and rapid response, capital campaigns, competitive bids, nonprofits under pressure, and leadership transitions.

You get a senior practitioner on every engagement, not a junior team behind an account lead. That means direct counsel, plain-English strategy, and the kind of judgment that only comes from having sat on the other side of the notebook. Reputation is the only business asset that works while you sleep, and our job is to make sure it's working for you when it matters most.
