We develop strong relationships with our clients, and we are passionate about their success. While their industries are diverse, our clients share a common thread. Whether it’s through their products and services, how they conduct business and/or their generosity in giving back to their communities, they make a difference in the world. And we make a difference by getting their message out and helping them thrive.
Most of Thrive PR's clients are based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but our client list also includes companies based in Chicago, Atlanta, St. Louis, Oregon, New Mexico and even New Zealand. Typically, they are small to mid-sized companies or nonprofit organizations that work with us on an ongoing basis. They find it more cost-effective to partner with us to manage their PR and marketing needs, rather than hiring a full-time staff person or a larger agency where they will not get the attention or top level talent they deserve. We are a key part of each client’s team…close enough to understand their business and truly care…yet enough of an outsider to see the forest from the trees and leverage our experience, knowledge, resources and relationships.
Some of our past and current clients include:
