Where We Came From

GrandPR was established by a group of Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) members with the intention of taking their public relations skills to the next level. Therefore, GrandPR was founded in the fall of 2007, launching with less than 10 core staff members and a faculty advisor. Two years later, GrandPR began a rebranding process, including restructuring campaigns in order to become a nationally affiliated firm by PRSSA. 

Today, our staff is made up of C-suite members, Coordinators, Account Executives, Account Associates, and a Design team. We are passionately dedicated to serving the needs of our wide variety of clients, including campus organizations, local businesses, and more.
