When Worlds Collide

I love when things come together the way they’re supposed to. A few months ago, a long-time colleague and I were starting to collaborate on a project. The more we dove into it, the more apparent it became that our teams had a synergy that should be explored. They were great promoters and marketers, well known in the film industry. We were great writers and public relations practitioners, experienced in hospitality/tourism and development. They handled PR for an education account that intrigued me. Our digital media prowess intrigued her. So….we talked. And we talked. And we talked some more.

Three months of “how the heck do we do this” discussions, and here we sit, in new offices with 14 savvy practitioners (and five interns!) buzzing around us, doing what they do. Meet my new vice president, Mary O’Hanlon, formerly of Barclay Communications, which is now part of Olson Communications. Barclay, 28 years young, is best known for its work in the film and entertainment industries, but it has had several high profile PR accounts as well. It counts among its coveted clients Walt Disney Studios and Home Entertainment, Universal Pictures and Home Entertainment, Mesa Gateway Airport, Connections Academy K-12 online schools and many other accounts.

We’re excited about this new chapter in the life of our company, and hope you will be too. When the next Business Journal ranking comes out, we’re hoping to be in the top 5 PR firms in Arizona. But you never know. We’re just getting started.
