about maroon pr
The Agency You Want to Have a Beer With
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. From media relations and social media strategy to creative content development and targeted media buying, we deliver tangible results tailored to each client’s unique goals.
When John Maroon opened Maroon PR 20 years ago, his sights were set on being a sports agency as that was his area of PR expertise. Shortly after, we started gaining new clients and experience across many industries and grew exponentially in the years to come. As we continue to evolve, we have seen the majority of our work focus in the Nonprofit & Healthcare, Hospitality , Sports and Professional Services sectors. While we continue to do effective work outside of these areas, we invite you to explore our core capabilities under the areas of Maroon Cares, Maroon Gathers, Maroon Plays, and Maroon Works.
Our agency thrives on building meaningful relationships —with our clients, the media, and each other – to drive growth. We’re a team of approachable, values-driven professionals who genuinely care about the work we do and the clients we serve.
Maroon PR is the “non-agency agency”—creative, collaborative, and rooted in trust. We’re the team you’d want to have a beer with, all while achieving big wins and helping your brand grow.
