About JBW
You’ve seen our work. You just haven’t seen us.
JBW Public Relations is the quiet firm behind the stories that move the country. We don’t chase headlines for ourselves. We earn them for our clients.
We are headquartered in Miami and Los Angeles, with offices in New York, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, and Seattle and a team in London. In every one of those cities we keep boots on the ground: crisis communications teams, event and project coordinators, and people who know the local press and the local community. Since we opened our doors in early 2022, we have built trusted relationships across national and local broadcast, cable news, print, digital, and podcast media. When a story needs to break, a guest needs the right chair on the right show, or a crisis needs to be contained before the next news cycle, we already know who to call.
We represent public figures, celebrities, authors, professional athletes, brands, and causes, along with the community organizers and networks working to build a fairer, more just future. Our work spans earned media and placement, talk show and podcast booking, crisis and reputation management, narrative strategy, executive positioning, and campaigns that move the needle on awareness.
The best public relations is rarely seen. It is felt in the headline, the interview, and the shift in public opinion. That is where you will find us: in the background, working.
Quiet firm. Powerful reach.

“To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.”
Sun TzuThe Art of War, c. 5th century BC (Lionel Giles translation)
The best campaigns are won before the other side knows there is a contest.
On the Ground
Boots on the ground, in every city we serve.
Our people live and work in the markets we cover. When a story breaks or an event goes live, a JBW team is already there, not waiting on a flight.
Crisis Communications Teams
Local crisis teams who can stand beside a client, brief reporters on site, and manage the story where it is happening.
Event & Project Coordinators
Coordinators who know the venues, the permits, the press risers, and the people. From press conferences to premieres, they run the day so our clients can own it.
Local Media & Community Liaisons
Relationships with local newsrooms, organizers, and community leaders, built over years of showing up in person.
