What do you think of when you think of "PR?"

Newspapers. TV. Radio. Right? Getting some "free ink" about your product. Or, maybe it's getting on the news to talk about your company's anniversary. It might even be simpler. How about Boo Boo the Clown giving away free balloons to kids in your lobby?

Sure, all of these things could be public relations, but we think it's far more. At Barnhart, we think of it in terms of public relationships. That is, how you interact with and are perceived by your publics – your customers, your employees, the news media, your community, the government, non-profit organizations, and any other group you touch.

Real public relations is all about understanding your audiences and building lasting, meaningful relationships. That's what we focus on and we use a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional vehicles to do it.

Let us expand your thinking about public relations. Expand your mind. And expand your business.
