11 Ounces

Public relations firms in Manhattan often cluster near media hubs, but some of the sharpest work happens in quieter corners. 11 Ounces operates from 9 Bleecker St, New York, NY 10012—a stretch where NoHo’s creative energy spills into the Lower East Side. The neighborhood’s mix of galleries, indie shops, and old tenements gives it a different rhythm than Midtown’s glass towers, which might explain why smaller agencies thrive here. Press releases, crisis management, and media training aren’t glamorous, but they’re the invisible scaffolding behind many local brands.

Offices like this one handle more than just press coverage. They shape narratives for startups, refine messaging for nonprofits, and sometimes even ghostwrite op-eds for executives who’d rather not face a blank page. Event planning and influencer coordination round out the services, though you won’t see their name on the byline. The address puts them within walking distance of several subway lines, a practical detail for clients who prefer face-to-face meetings over Zoom. NoHo’s sidewalks are narrow, but the area’s density means everything is close—including the coffee shops where off-the-record conversations often happen.

If you’re mapping out a visit, their number is (917) 244-8636. Directions and hours are easiest to pull from the map listing, which also shows the nearest bike racks. Sometimes the best PR work is the kind no one notices.
