John + Maroon.
Drive Growth Through Relationships
Longtime public relations professional John Maroon started the firm in 2006 with a specific goal in mind: to drive growth for clients through meaningful relationships. Even though the public relations landscape has evolved over the years, relationships remain at the center of our company.
At our core, this means we work to build and maintain positive relationships with media outlets and journalists, but it also means so much more.
We facilitate positive partner relationships between our clients and like-minded businesses. We are building relationships with online influencers. We encourage clients to use social media to build meaningful relationships with online communities. We use tools like video and podcasting to bring client stories and relationships to life.

Driving Growth Through Relationships
For 17 years, Maroon PR has been driving growth for our clients through relationships. With relationships at the center of all we do, our creative communications agency continues to evolve with the media landscape. Today, we focus on doing more for our clients through integrated owned, earned and paid media strategies. Watch to learn more about our growth over the years.

We had the great honor of working alongside Brooks Robinson on many occasions over the years. His kindness and generosity were unmatched. We were lucky to know him, and Baltimore lucky to have him.
Rest in Peace, Brooksie
