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 clientβs unique goals.
When John Maroon opened Maroon PR nearly 20 year ago, his sights were set on being a sports agency as that was his area of PR expertise. Shortly after, we started to discover new clients 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 on three somewhat broad sectors: Nonprofit & Healthcare, Hospitality and Sports. 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,Β Maroon GathersΒ andΒ Maroon Plays.
Our agency thrives on building meaningful relationships βwith our clients, the media, and each other β to drive growth. Weβre not just about the numbers or the buzzwords; weβre a team of approachable, values-driven professionals who genuinely care about the work we do and the clients we serve.
Maroon PR is the βnon-agency agencyββcreative, collaborative, and rooted in trust. Weβre the team youβd want to have a beer with, all while achieving big wins and helping your brand grow.
