WHO WE ARE
About Our Company
Do you believe people find each other for a reason?
We do. From the people we work with to the clients who hire us, we truly feel that everything happens for a reason.
We created bluePRint to blend eclectic interests with wide-ranging expertise to provide clients with a one-stop shop for public relations, marketing, design, social media, video and photography, and event production.
We believe it takes the right talent and the right team of people to reach client goals. What sets us apart, aside from our results-driven approach, is that we take the time to create long-lasting relationships with our clients. We believe that to gain deep understanding and genuine insight into the brand, image, and story of our clients, it's important to take the time to really do just that.
We use modern technology and a new-age approach to reach our goals combined with good old-fashioned communication skills to cultivate and solidify our relationships with clients, press, and vendors. During a time when social media and texts are leading how we communicate, we find that in-person meetings, phone or Zoom calls, interviews, and face-to-face teamwork will always prevail. We love what we do and we do it with passion.
