WHAT WE DO.

JSY PR & Marketing is a full service firm that helps technology startups, nonprofits, and professional athletes harness the power of media by telling better stories. We position, engage, and inspire our clients to simplify what they do so that their grandmothers can understand it.

This is where we start after we determine whether we’re a fit. The PR Narrative Workshop will anchor the rest of the engagement if we feel that it makes sense. This typically takes half a day on site with the client.

We have found that it pays off big time to have a full-on plan for how to hook prospects, build customers, and payoff advocates by keeping your story straight. That’s why we started building a framework called The Story Funnel.

The Story Funnel along with the Brand Story Guide will be the macro view of your whole brands story.

We position brands to reach target audiences through proactive product placement. Our expertise enables us to help products break through the clutter in a crowded, distracted market. Seeing a product in a magazine, television show or movie directly influences consumer opinion and increases buzz and sales. We are skilled at brand integration in all aspects of media, increasing brand awareness and driving consumers to purchase.

At JSYPR, we understand that a successful campaign requires strategy, direction, and focus. We will identify and analyze short and long term goals, as well as examine where your company is right now.
This analysis allows us to take a holistic view of your needs, and will allow us to determine the most powerful way forward, which includes:

  • Strategic Positioning Materials and Positioning Statements
  • Industry Research & Analysis
  • Strategic Partnerships & Co-Branding Opportunities
  • Spokesperson Management
  • Trade & Retailer Relations
  • Forecasting

We know that the majority of nonprofits are under incredible amounts of monetary pressure: decreases in government funding, and an increasingly challenging fundraising environment means that having someone help connect the media and donors to each other is even more important ever.

We’re flexible when it comes to the needs of our clients. In some cases, a client might have specific needs that aren’t PR & Marketing in the traditional sense. Let us know what you have in mind. If we can help, great. If not, we probably know someone that can.

EVENTS.

We have done a ton of events for clients. From fundraising galas to football camps to product launches. What we have found is that events can accelerate an organizations PR & Marketing efforts by providing a focal point. Our proven process makes events both fun and predicable.
