MISSION STATEMENT

At BlinnPR, we effectively combine the focus of a boutique agency – working smarter, faster and more efficiently – with the senior-level staff experience of a large agency. Our people have counseled clients through financial and product crises; they have cut through marketplace clutter to help clients build brand awareness and through creative outreach efforts have helped position government agencies to be innovative leaders in their space. In short, our people have a single-minded focus on ensuring the long-term success for our clients.

We have provided Press and Public Relations and Graphic Design services to The National Institute of Drug Abuse, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and National Park Service, and Federal Communications Commission, among others.

These services span many dimensions, from developing local and national media campaigns to audience-specific public awareness outreach efforts. The creation of the full range of educational materials and print and broadcast public service announcements are all part of the BlinnPR communications repertoire.

COMPANY EXPERIENCE

Experience of BlinnPR and its team members:

National Institute of Drug Abuse -- Managed the multimedia Mind Over Matter drug education initiative starring Sara Bellum, the animated scientific explorer. The success of this creative approach to children’s drug education through science can be measured by the two awards it’s won, by acclaim from former HHS Secretary Donna Shalala and President Clinton, the growth in the number of visitors to the NIDA website and by the transformations in children’s thinking about drugs as a result of exposure to this work.

Small Business Administration -- Worked on SBA’s national program to target the small business and entrepreneurial marketplace based on two sound business principles: customer driven outreach and quality focused management. Through research and analysis of specific industries and bilingual business owners, BlinnPR personnel identified improved professional support methods to reach small business audiences. Groups, such as trade associations, unions, employment agencies, professional groups, and chamber of commerce conveyed the newly developed messages to the audiences.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration -- Developed and distributed Campaign materials including PSAs, tool kits and multimedia materials for Safe and Sober, Speed Shatters Life, Safe Communities, Click It or Ticket, School Bus Safety, Kids Aren’t Cargo, and You Drink and Drive, You Lose Campaign over a period of ten years for law enforcement, government, community groups, parents, educators, youth and ethnic audiences.
