Please find me a list of PR firms that have experience in NJ special education or anti-NJ public school system.
Hello! Thanks for your question about list of PR firms that have experience in NJ special education or anti-NJ public school system. The most useful sources I found to answer your question are O'Dwyer's PR Directory, Furia Rubel and CB&A. In short the answer is that while there are no PR based firms in New Jersey that have experience in special education or anti-NJ public school system, CB&A and Furia Rubel work nationally and have experience in special education. Below you will find a deep dive of my research.
METHODOLOGY
There aren't any New Jersey based firms with an explicit specialty in special education or anti-public school work. However, the ones I have listed meet at least one of the following criteria: they work with non-profits, they work with individuals and families, they have experience in education and healthcare, they are based or have a branch located in New Jersey.
Overall, there is no specific list of PR firms with experience in New Jersey special education or anti-public school system. There are, however, two PR firms located outside of New Jersey (who work nationally, not only within their specific state): one specializes in PR for special education (C. Blohm's) and one has explicitly stated on their website that they have experience working with special education (Furia Rubel). There are also several PR firms based in New Jersey which have experience in education (in general) and non-profits (ranked firms on Odwyer PR).
In addition to these sources, I have listed New Jersey based advocates for special education; these people will work with the media in a similar way to PR firms. The lists I have provided (SPANNJ and Advocates for Special Education) have names, titles, and contact information. Additionally, SPANNJ also includes all of the government departments for special education (including their PR department) with names and contact information. I have also included two lists of PR freelancers- this Indeed source is specified to New Jersey and this Cloud Peeps source is specified to experience in special education. In some cases, I added LinkedIn profiles below for additional insight.
LIST OF PR FIRMS
(1) C. Blohm & Associates, Inc. (CB&A): C. Blohm & Associates, Inc. is an integrated public relations firm specializing in visibility campaigns for the education and special needs industries. Although they are not based in New Jersey, C Blohm has an extensive national network of companies, and is familiar with working across many platforms and media.
(2) Furia Rubel Communications: Although they are not based in New Jersey, this PR firm does work with clients all over the US. Their site also include a testimonial from a special education law firm who used Furia Rubel to launch their firm.
(3) Coyne PR: By far the most extensive PR firm with a New Jersey location which also has specialties in education and non-profits.
(4) R&J Strategic Communications: R&J Strategic Communications is a full service integrated marketing and public relations agency with communications agencies in the Greater New York/New Jersey metro region. This is the work that R&J has done with non-profits.
(5) Stern Strategy Group: Stern Strategy does not have a list of their clients like the other firms do. However, they are the only firm that specifically notes that they work with individuals. They are a small firm in New Jersey, and they do have a background in education, academia, and school related issues.
(6) Tartaglia Communications, LLC: Tartaglia Communications has worked with many leading scientific, philanthropic, health care, nonprofit, and academic organizations. Their long list of non profit clients is available here.
ADDITIONAL COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF SPECIAL EDUCATION RESOURCES, ADVOCATES AND FREELANCERS
(7) SPANNJ: This is a comprehensive source for all of New Jersey's special education inclusion resources. Here you will find lists like "New Jersey Resources: Government Agencies", "New Jersey Resources: Non-Profit Agencies," as well as national and web-based resources. The bottom of this page also includes a map of names, phone numbers, and job titles for people working in New Jersey special education advocacy.
(8) Advocates for Special Education: This is a list of special education advocates in New Jersey (some attorneys, too, but mostly advocates).
(9) This Indeed Link includes Public Relations Freelancers from New Jersey who specialize in education.
(10) CloudPeeps: This is a source of PR freelancers with experience in special education. Although they might not be physically present in New Jersey, depending on what the client is intending to use, a cloud-based resource could prove just as useful as a local one.
CONCLUSION
To wrap it up, while there aren't any PR experienced in special education and anti-NJ public school system within New Jersey, CB&A and Furia Rubel do have the right experience required and they accept NJ clients. Additional notable mentions of PR within New jersey include Coyne PR, R&J Strategic Communications, Stern Strategy Group and Tartaglia Communications. I have also provided links to advocates and freelances experienced in special education. I hope you find these helpful.
Also, we called C. Blohm (CB&A) and spoke with the receptionist, who confirmed that they would take a client located in New Jersey. Based on our research, they are one of the best options because their entire firm is dedicated to special education.
