Introducing Library Card

AN EXCLUSIVE PASS
connecting INTERIOR DESIGNERS with TOP TIER MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES

“Within 24 hours of being published in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), I already received a new client inquiry.” - Alex Yeske Interiors, Library Card Member

 
 
 
 

From House Beautiful to AD to The Wall Street Journal, we help you land press that builds real credibility.

Our Library Card program gives interior designers a simple, flexible way to land national media through expert quotes, and photo inclusions—without going all-in on a full-time PR team. You'll receive a curated stream of media opportunities straight to your inbox—ranging from expert quotes on design trends to calls for project photography in national stories. You'll choose which ones you want to pursue, and we’ll guide you with tips on how to respond in a way that gets you noticed.

While it does take a little effort—like answering editor questions thoughtfully or pulling project images—you’ll be working smarter, not harder. No cold pitching. No wondering where to start. Just real opportunities to build visibility and credibility in the design world.

Features like these are not just great for expanding your name recognition—they also boost your SEO and give you ready-to-post content for your marketing and social media channels.

Real examples of placements include this Wall Street Journal piece (also ran in print!), this House Beautiful trend story and this print feature in American Farmhouse.

 

This is for you if:

Stack of design and interiors magazines on a cement floor, with "Luxe Interiors + Design Los Angeles" magazine on top, reflecting in a mirror.

✓ You want to dip your toe into PR without making a major commitment.
✓ You want to build press momentum while waiting for projects to be completed and photographed.
✓ You want to legitimize your design firm and attract higher-end clients.
✓ You see your competitors getting media coverage—and you’re ready to claim your own spotlight.
✓ You don’t have the media connections (or the time) to consistently pitch yourself.

What you get and how it works.

This is not a DIY program.

The Storied Group team uses our relationships with the media to bring you press opportunities, serving as your liaison, tracking the press and sending it to you when it comes out.

What our members are saying…

  • "I have loved working with The Storied Group and being part of Library Card. In the two months I've been a part of it, I've landed 4 press mentions, with one of them being in the Wall Street Journal in print. Within 24 hours of it being published, I already received a new client inquiry!"

    -Alex Yeske, Alex Yeske Interiors
    Wall Street Journal article

  • "Becoming a Library Card member this year has been a game changer for my business. As a relatively new interior design studio I was struggling to get the access to publications to get featured, and this bridged that gap. I was able to get featured in Homes and Gardens, Forbes, Martha Stewart and many others and it’s always such an honor and pinch me moment when I am. The team are so attentive and helpful and I’m truly so grateful I came across The Storied Group and this new initiative, and am excited for what’s in store next year!"

    -Isy’s Interiors, Inaugural Library Card Member

  • "This was a great option for our small business, as we weren't quite ready to jump into a full service commitment. It still allowed us to experience the opportunities and benefits of PR services and get our name out there, dipping our toe into the water so to speak."

FAQs

How does this differ from Full Service PR?

Full Service PR is our most exclusive service, where we serve as an extension of your in-house marketing team. For Full Service PR, we typically work with clients who have a number of completed projects ready to be pitched to the media, are legacy focused or have something specific to promote like a book launch, store opening or upcoming product line. Library Card gets you quote and photo inclusions in trend stories, roundups, as well as some brand opportunities.

Is this the right service if I want to get a home tour for a project that hasn’t been published?

Library Card does not include pitching your full projects, but take a look at A Design Well-Placed, our project placement service for interior designers. Many of our clients do both!

Do the photos we submit have to be exclusive?

Not usually. Sometimes we get print opportunities that require exclusivity, but most digital opportunities won’t need it. We will let you know if they require exclusivity when we send the email.

Can I still get quoted in the media without a specific photo?

Yes! More often than not, a writer or editor is looking for a quote to accompany a trend story. If you have a photo that works, we will absolutely submit it for consideration, but you do not need to have a photo to be quoted in the media.

Is there a guarantee that we will get press?

No, but so far everyone in Library Card has gotten press! The effort you put in is the effort you will get out. How many inquiries you respond to is up to you. Sometimes the articles require photos to accompany the pieces, but often times they don’t. The media wants an interesting point-of-view and thoughtful responses. Our newsletter will give you tips on how to up your chances of having your quote be chosen by an editor.

How many opportunities do you send per month?

This, of course, varies, but we are generally sending 15-20 opportunities per month. Outlets lately have included Veranda, The Washington Post, AD, House Beautiful, Homes & Gardens and many others.

Can I join Library Card and work with another PR firm?

No. The Library Card membership is built for those who do not currently have PR. This is because we wouldn’t want to risk double pitching the same photos and having conflicts of interest.
