Just when
Jason Brown is starting to think his public relations business might be ready to slow down, it picks up again. These new clients have added up to a 25-percent jump in revenue for the Beverly Hills-based firm.
"It's been an interesting year," says Brown, principal & founder of
PublicCity PR. "Once you get stagnant a few new clients walk through the door." These new clients were drawn by the firm's reputation. "It's been organic growth," he adds. "There have been no advertising dollars toward attracting clients. It's all word of mouth."
PublicCity PR has grown from Brown as the sole employee three years ago to a full-time team of three and a summer intern today. He hopes to add one more position in the near future and find some traditional office space.
Brown started the company as an alternative to the larger public relations agencies in the region. Before going off on his own, Brown, a graduate of Michigan State University, worked as a journalist.
