Barry Silverman of PressBox stopped by the Maroon PR office at 6940 Columbia Gateway Drive to spotlight our team and the journey of Founder and president John Maroon’s journey to building an agency rooted in trust, teamwork, and buulding relationships. Here’s a snippet from the article titled, Creating a Public Relations Juggernaut The ‘Maroon Way’
“First impressions can tell you a lot about a person. Sometime they even make for good openings to a newspaper story.
For example, one’s first impression upon entering the Maroon PR offices is an unexpected one to say the least. The door opens and you’re greeted by a sleek, black greyhound named Jack. A fine animal that never jumps or barks but gently nudges you down the hallway as if to say, “Make yourself at home while I introduce you to the big, friendly guy who humanely rescued me from a nondescript greyhound racetrack in Ireland, John Maroon.”
For the record, this is Maroon’s third greyhound rescue, a fact revealed in a conversation not with him, but with one of his longtime employees. This bit of info provided a slight but telling glimpse into his psyche and why since 2006, Maroon PR has redefined what it means to be a strategic public relations and communications partner in the world of sports and sports tourism and more recently in such diverse genres as hospitality, healthcare, gaming, festivals and nonprofits.
And while that sounds like verbiage off of a website, which it is, Maroon attributes his agency’s success to building and nurturing great relationships with clients, the media and the people who work in his office.”
