Podcast interview with Aryan Mohindra and Apex Perspective
May 2, 2025
We were invited to come on Aryan Mohindra's Apex Perspective podcast to talk about entrepreneurship and how it all started with Budgie PR. Aryan's values were a perfect fit: "Impact. Winning. Excellence in all aspects of life. I also prioritize transparency, open-book conversations, and genuine connection—no marketing fluff, just raw value." The Apex Perspective podcast focuses on discussions with successful CEOs, their unique perspectives in their industries, mindset, beliefs, and how they prioritize fitness in their demanding schedules. Aryan is the successful founder of "Mind & Body Mastery". He lost 70+ lbs, rebuilt his health, and now he coaches other business leaders to do the same. It was truly a pleasure to be on the show.

Budgie PR celebrates its first anniversary
October 26, 2023
Guess what - Budgie PR turned one today. What a crazy year it has been.
Our stories have now reached an audience of over 50 million!
We have landed high-quality coverage in leading global, regional, and local media.
We have listened to (and saved) enthusiastic voice notes from clients who couldn’t believe their work was featured in those publications.
We have offered private label services for other agencies, ghostwritten on LinkedIn on behalf of CEOs we never even met.
We have crafted a ton of personalized, timely, and relevant winning pitches on behalf of our clients.
We entered a heavily saturated PR market here in Dubai as the new challenger budgie on the block.
We have upset several influencers, content creators, and influencer agencies with our inquisitive questions about their ROI and reporting methods.
However, we strongly believe those questions are the ones you should be asking ANY marketing or PR agency you hire for your brand.
That’s why we advocate #HonestPRTalks and urge our industry peers to have these important conversations.
We have stayed true to our values and set new standards when it comes to transparency, clean data reporting, and digital-first storytelling in PR.
We are not just press release generators or mailrooms. We are visual storytellers and brand consultants.
We have created newsrooms and lookbooks that have stunned clients as well as architecture and design editors.
We have been told by editors that we are “totally KILLING it” with our gorgeous platforms that make everything accessible 24/7 for journalists.
We have flown very far during our first year, but we will keep working hard to redefine PR and serve our customers.
Thanks again to all our followers, clients, friends, and everyone who supported and believed in us from day one.
