Media coverage holds the ability to take a business in front of hundreds of millions of audiences in an incredibly short span of time.

No review, no refund, not a real business
Promised us a review. Needed 50% payment upfront, even though their pitch is that we would only pay on success. We paid. Nothing happened. Shame on me.
Jit was responsive for a bit, but has gone missing recently, and we are writing off our 50%.
You should write off these guys too, but do so before giving them any money.

Absolutely FAKE PR, don't waste your time and money
First, read the 5* reviews. You will easily notice they are written in the same style and almost for sure they are fake. Other reviewers already noticed it.
About my experience. They promised me to write a marketing article and have it published in 4 good reliable resources.
The article they have prepared was absolutely illiterate lame bunch of keywords. It was full of mistakes, tautology, and super primitive school level language. I'm not a native speaker and I hoped they had marketing gurus who would write something cool, but they outsourced it to someone who barely spoke English. I had to rewrite everything!
As far as publishing the article. They promised that the campaign (including writing the article) would take 6 weeks, but it took 6 months with no real results. At the beginning they promised that our article would be featured in TechCrunch, TheNextWeb, Daily Mail, Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Fortune (the list is from their email). In fact, all articles have been posted on some crappy websites specifically created for posting paid articles. Some are so bad that links are not even properly highlighted and you cannot find a link to your website in the article you paid for. Interesting that all these websites include fake number of facebook shares and number of views. When you see all that, you feel yourself a scammer too.
Extremely bad experience! Promotehour are scammers.
UPDATE:
March 15, 2023. Nobody contacted me. They keep lying and throwing dust in the eyes. Their "3x growth" was obviously 3x growth of scam.
Dec 31, 2023. Still no news from Promotehour, nobody got in touch. They are surely scammers, never trust anything they say.
Dec 10, 2024. Still nothing. Liars and cons :)

Hey Andrey, I am Jit, cofounder of Promotehour. I am sorry for your experience and would like to fix it. We indeed made lot of mistakes in 2022 to push 3x growth. The team took shortcuts to meet the KPIs and that’s the reason behind recent poor reviews.
We have been quietly working to fix the mess and did few changes:
1. No upfront payments - client pays only when he gets results.
2. Narrowed our focus on one or two categories for PR
I will reach out to you personally to discuss how we can make it upto you for the poor experience.

Stay away from them, don't let their money back guarantee fool you!
Firstly they don't deliver what they promise and then they don't even refund the deposit we paid as per their money back guarantee. It's been 3 months we have been following up with them for the refund but no response. STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS, don't waste your time and money here.
