About Maroon
Maroon PR is a creative communications agency redefining what it means to be a public relations partner. Based in the Baltimore-DC corridor, we specialize in earned, owned, and paid media strategies to amplify the stories of clients in the sports, hospitality, and nonprofit industries.
