OC Public Relations is exactly what you’ve always thought a PR firm ought to be: We are a broad-based, active force to bring you, your company, or the cause you work so hard for right up to the top of the public consciousness.
OCPR makes your news newsworthy, and does it with teams of highly skilled professionals organized to provide expert specialized service in everything from media relations to planning and publicity for special events; to making your voice both heard and important on the social media front; to email marketing for business, social affairs and philanthropic causes so vital to the Orange County experience.
OCPR’s founder, Sue Grant, is also exactly what you’d expect from a high-powered PR executive. She’s a charming and ebullient ball-of-fire; fast-moving and bubbling-over with good ideas to make her clients the topic of everyone’s conversation. Known throughout the industry for skills that put those good ideas into unbeatable effect, she backs them up with more than 25 years of successful experience; a devoted and expert support staff, a massive personal business, philanthropic, and journalistic background, immense practical knowledge directly applicable to her clients’ needs, and – in this industry where who you know can easily be just as important as what you know – she knows, has worked with, has done favors for, and is admired by practically everybody!
What you might not expect is that — for all of the real ability of Sue and our staff to influence the media and to make what you need to happen, happen — in some respects we act just like a “Mom and Pop” organization. We’re solidly committed to our clients, both “on” and “off the clock”; have total integrity; constantly search-out new ways to help with new projects and new opportunities; and do it all for far less money and often in far less time than any less specialized and less connected national firm could ever hope to do.
OCPR’s clients are 50% corporate businesses, 50% nonprofits, and 100% satisfied.
