Fashion PR Confidential Online

Founder + Instructor

Danika founded Danika Daly PR, a boutique PR firm in New York City specializing in contemporary fashion, beauty, tech and lifestyle brands. Danika does everything in a bold fashion with creative flair and no trace of the ordinary.

Danika started her career in beauty PR in Miami and Palm Beach with brands such as celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves and blinc Cosmetics. She moved into the Fashion sector when she worked with Sam Edelman and worked with high-end brands in their local South Florida market such as Gucci, Saks Fifth Avenue, Tory Burch and Rene Caovilla.

Danika moved on to working with emerging fashion brands in New York City, when she started her company Danika Daly PR in 2011. She now represents clients ranging from apparel, beauty products, tech, retail stores, lifestyle brands and more. Danika's clients have been featured in Vogue, Teen Vogue, Elle, Refinery29, The Zoe Report, Glamour, Entrepreneur, The Elvis Duran Show and more. In addition to media placement, Danika Daly PR focuses on digital campaigns, collaborations and events.

Danika coaches many brands and aspiring publicists, and has a love for sharing knowledge. She has done so as a writer for various sites such as PR Couture, Fashion Indie, and The Fabulous Report.

Upon hearing from Danika Daly PR interns every semester that they learned more in the internship program than they learned in college, Danika decided to start the Fashion PR Confidential to teach larger groups of students at a time. Many people wanted to get into Fashion PR, but didn't know how.

Danika has been featured in PR Couture, Taste the Style, Cision Blog, The PR Closet, and more. She was named an ADWEEK / PR Newser '30 Under 30' in PR for 2015.
