JD/PR Joins The Public Relations Collective Nationwide PR alliance

The Public Relations Collective has announced its official launch as a nationwide alliance of senior-level public relations and communications professionals who built their careers at leading global agencies and major U.S. brands before establishing successful independent PR consulting practices.

Jeffrey Davis, head of J. Davis Public Relations (JD/PR), is one of the organization’s 13 founding members.

According to the announcement release, “The Public Relations Collective gives organizations access to the depth, reach and specialized expertise of a national agency without the layers, staffing handoffs, fixed team structures and overhead commonly associated with traditional agency models. Clients work directly with the senior professionals responsible for strategy and execution.”

Created in response to growing demand for more agile and efficient communications support, the Public Relations Collective enables clients to engage a single specialist or assemble a customized team around a specific business objective, initiative, event, market or communications challenge.

“Organizations should not have to choose between senior-level expertise and a flexible, efficient communications model,” said Jo Trizila, founding member of The Public Relations Collective. “Our members bring deep experience, specialized expertise and established working relationships. That allows us to build the right team quickly while giving clients direct access to the professionals accountable for the strategy, execution and results.”

Strategic Support for Agencies
The Public Relations Collective also serves as a strategic resource for public relations, marketing, advertising and digital agencies seeking additional expertise, expanded capabilities, geographic reach or senior-level support.

Members can integrate into existing agency teams, provide specialized or executional support and work openly or confidentially on a white-label basis. This allows agencies to pursue new business, manage workload fluctuations and expand capabilities without adding permanent staff or infrastructure.

The founding members of The Public Relations Collective represent independent public relations and communications firms and boutique agencies across the United States, providing senior-level communications expertise tailored to each organization’s unique goals, opportunities and challenges.
