J/PR

This year marks two decades of J/PR. From our roots in San Diego, to launching in New York and then the UK, our affiliate agency 20Two Studio and many U.S. cities in between, it’s unbelievable what we’ve all created—a true testament to our team, clients, media and friends who make this much more than a company and a job. Relationships and longevity are at the core of who we are today, with 14 team members who have been with J/PR for over 10 years and 19 clients who have trusted us for over a decade. 43 J/PR team members started as interns, and 8 of those now hold leadership positions. We’ve watched 22 team members become parents, traveled to 6 continents, and launched 11 offices. We started J/PR before social media and at a different time for the media industry altogether. We’ve continued to learn, evolve, and push the envelope in every possible way, creating something more with J/PR than we ever thought possible. Now, we've grown to a global agency specializing in Luxury Travel, Lifestyle Brands, Real Estate, and more, as we tell unique and inspiring stories through public relations, brand collaborations, social media, and content creation. Through all this growth, we never lost sight of who we are at our core—it’s the people who make J/PR what it is today. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our story, past and present. We celebrate how far we've come and look to a very bright future. Jamie Sigler O’Grady | Sarah Evans | J/PR

“What does your partnership with J/PR mean to you?” We asked our decade-long clients this simple question and we were blown away by their heartfelt responses. We are proud to have 20 clients who have been with J/PR for over 10 years. They are a core part of our agency and our story. Thank you to all of our incredible clients who have grown with us over the years.

The positivity and energy at The PR Net #FutureFocus2025 was truly unmatched. Thank you to everyone who joined the "Future of Travel & Hospitality Marketing" panel with Sarah Evans, Jamari A. Douglas and David Zapata, moderated by Co-Founder and Executive Editor of Dossier, Erin Dixon. The discussion touched on ultra-high-net-worth tourism and the rise of hyper personalization; the intersection between fashion and travel; experience-driven storytelling and much more. J/PR Partner Sarah Evans shared, "Luxury is such an ambiguous word today. It's different for everyone. So, what we need to do now is storytell—it's not about what's new or what's hot, but about placing storytelling at the forefront". Congratulations to Lisa Kay Smith and the PR Net team for another successful Future Focus - we can't wait until next year!
