Forbes said "These are the Women Dictating Where You're Traveling," and Inc. Magazine featured J/PR in an article titled, "How Two Millennial-ish Women Built a PR Powerhouse." This is in addition to numerous awards like PR News Best Places to Work, New York Observer PR Power 5 for five years in a row, The PR Net 100, Forbes Five Star Agency, PR Couture Spotlight Agency of the Year, and Crain's Best Places to Work (to name a few).
At J/PR, we're incredibly intentional about our company culture, and we whole-heartedly believe in a work-life blend, where you'll be empowered to continue learning and growing through travel, mentorship, training and retreats, along with a connected company culture.
Who are you?
Creative, collaborative, connected. You strive to be your best, and help others be their best. You're driven, savvy, and solution-oriented. Motivated and passionate, our teams continue to find ways to ideate and innovate, bringing client service to a whole new level.
Culture at J/PR
Culture has always been a core priority at J/PR. As a woman-owned and woman-led agency, J/PR practices a culture of celebration, support and inclusivity; and exercises a dedication to advancement and achievement, as well as flexibility for all-from working mothers, to team members eager to travel the globe and work while doing so-and commitment to fearless feedback.
Since the agency's inception, we have consistently re-evaluated what culture truly means in the workforce of today, and that of tomorrow. Today, that means implementing cultural practices that benefit each and every individual.
The agency is organized to promote collaboration-from client accounts to internal leadership committees. J/PR is dedicated to fostering a culture of celebration, not competition-a "got your back," not "watch your back" environment (the latter being common in the fiercely competitive PR industry). We regularly decline new business opportunities that don't serve us, and we walk away from clients when the relationship no longer benefits our team. We approach scopes of work from both a financial and staffing perspective, continuing a people-first approach to the work we do each day.
The company's dedication to advancement and achievement means consistent upward mobility for all team members. Our agency has long-standing employee and client retention statistics, which remain a testament to J/PR's overall cultural health, and something to celebrate in a creative and competitive industry where both employee and client turnover are typically high. In 2022, our employee retention rate was 10% higher than the average for US PR agencies.
Meet Our Partners
J/PR was started by two longtime best friends, the spirit of lasting friendship can be felt throughout the agency and is the glue that binds us together.
Jamie Lynn O'Grady founded J Public Relations in 2005.
As the visionary leader of J/PR, Jamie has built the powerhouse agency, combining an exacting mix of methodical media relations, unrivaled strategy and next-level service to transform clients into brand pillars. Jamie's two-fold philosophy that relationships always come first, and PR and social campaigns should forever speak for themselves, has catapulted J/PR to become one of the most respected agencies in travel, tourism, real estate and lifestyle today.
Sarah Evans, NY Business Partner, joined Jamie in the expansion to New York City in 2009.
Sarah Evans is one of the most powerful names in the public relations and social media world, having built J/PR into a bicoastal force with global reach with offices in New York City, San Diego, Los Angeles, London, Toronto and Nashville. The agency specializes in full-service publicity and story-telling including PR, social media, brand partnerships and influencer relations. She is a trusted industry resource, and her deep-rooted relationships are the foundation of many long-term clients (160 clients on 6 continents), an a-list media network and the global JPR team.
