Ripley PR lands JunkStart account

Ripley PR has been appointed as the public relations agency of record for JunkStart, supporting the franchise’s expansion and raising awareness of its pay-by-weight junk removal model.

The partnership will focus on building brand visibility and communicating the business model to prospective franchise owners across both consumer and commercial markets.

Supporting franchise growth strategy

JunkStart operates with a pricing model based on weight rather than volume, using onboard truck scales to provide immediate and transparent pricing. The company aims to position this approach as an alternative within the junk removal sector, where pricing structures can vary.

Ripley PR will lead communications to highlight the franchise opportunity, with a focus on attracting entrepreneurs interested in a model that combines B2C and B2B revenue streams.

Daniel McCarty, founder of JunkStart: "As we bring a transformative approach to an established industry, we need clear communication to educate potential franchisees about what makes our model so streamlined and easy to scale. Nobody is better suited for this job than Ripley PR, an agency with unequalled experience in the residential service and franchising sectors."

Leveraging sector expertise in communications

Ripley PR specialises in public relations for skilled trades, franchising and manufacturing, with experience supporting brands in the home services category. The agency will use this expertise to position JunkStart within a competitive and growing market.

The franchise, based in San Antonio, is targeting expansion by promoting its pricing model and the resilience of the junk removal sector across economic cycles.

Heather Ripley, founder and chief executive officer at Ripley PR: "Our depth of experience in the franchising world, combined with our specialization in home services, puts us in a unique position to promote JunkStart and drive awareness for opportunities with their brand. This is the kind of story we love to tell, one that involves innovation, grit and singular opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs."

Industry recognition and positioning

Ripley PR has built a presence in the franchising and home services sectors, including recognition from industry bodies and membership in global networks. The agency will apply its experience in earned media and sector-specific communications to support JunkStart’s growth plans.

The appointment reflects ongoing demand for specialist PR support among franchise brands looking to scale and differentiate their offering.
