WHO WE ARE

JAC is a public relations and marketing agency that creates thoughtful, artful and impactful communications for hospitality, travel, and lifestyle brands. We're based in New York City where we partner with clients  looking to launch their brands, raise their media profiles and increase market share.

Just as authors are encouraged to write what they know, we are inspired to work on what we love. Our team is comprised of foodies, world travelers, design and wellness lovers and all-around culture aficionados who bring these passions to their work on brands in these arenas.

We believe in the brands we serve and we are passionate about enhancing their success. From the moment you first meet with us and through every initiative thereafter, we bring integrity, energy and expertise to raising your brand awareness with measurable results. We’re strategic in our thinking, innovative in our execution and practiced in exceeding goals.
