Accent Public Relations: Boston Food and Lifestyle PR

Originally published January 2021. Updated October 14, 2026.

What is Accent Public Relations?

Accent Public Relations is a Boston boutique PR and marketing agency led by founder Daniela Puglielli. It focuses on food, nutrition, health and lifestyle clients and produces the Mediterranean Diet Roundtable, a think tank and event series about the Mediterranean diet. It is not the same firm as Accent PRojects in New York.

Who founded and leads Accent Public Relations?

Puglielli is principal of Accent PR and founder of the Mediterranean Diet Roundtable, according to the roundtable's website, which says she holds dual Italian and U.S. citizenship and lives in Boston and has received the Dean Martin Award. A 2020 interview describes her as a specialist in international relations, marketing and strategic relations who runs her PR and marketing agency in Boston. These are her own biographical statements.

What is the Mediterranean Diet Roundtable?

The roundtable describes itself as a think tank meant to inform and promote ingredients and cuisines of the Mediterranean and to translate the diet's benefits into commercial opportunities in the U.S., noting UNESCO's 2010 recognition of the Mediterranean diet as intangible cultural heritage. Accent PR produced a New York edition, according to an Italian-American cultural site, and in November 2020 Puglielli moderated a Med Diet Talks event organized with the Italian Embassy in Washington.

What does Accent Public Relations do?

The firm lists media relations, integrated marketing, strategic partnerships, event planning, influencer relations, social media and branding. These service descriptions come from EPR's earlier profile and the firm's materials. EPR's food and beverage PR section covers its main category, and Boston PR firms covers its home market.

Which clients has Accent Public Relations worked with?

No client could be verified, so none is listed.

What recognition has Accent Public Relations received?

The roundtable's biography says Forbes selected Accent PR as a leading PR agency in the country, and a 2020 interview refers to a 2021 Forbes ranking. This is the firm's statement and was not confirmed with Forbes.

How does Accent Public Relations compare with other Boston PR firms?

Accent is a small food and lifestyle specialist, so compare it with BigFish PR, Inkhouse and the firms on EPR's Boston PR firms page.
