About Us

Overview

BazanPR is an independent full-service agency that provides clients with a wide range of public relations and marketing services. Our strengths are in the fields of entertainment, event marketing, publishing, and corporate PR.

Working from our offices in New York and Los Angeles and with affiliates throughout the United States and Toronto, BazanPR combines business savvy with a creative flair to put our clients in the media spotlight. We produce strategic results for clients as diverse as Spike Lee and DaimlerChrysler.

Since our founding in 1994, BazanPR has developed strong contacts with mainstream media while also effectively reaching out to the African-American market to produce targeted public relations and marketing campaigns.

BazanPR offers our clients unparalleled expertise, enthusiasm, and professionalism. We’re proud to say we maintain long-term relationships with our clients, with talent, and with the media, based on trust, dependability, and a stellar track record.

Our Approach

Experience. Integrity. Attention to detail. Hard work. These are qualities that BazanPR brings to its relationships with clients, large and small.

As an independent agency, we're nimble and responsive which insures that our clients get personalized attention. We are always proactive but also quick to capitalize on opportunities.

BazanPR has the experience, the contacts, and the industry clout to make things happen locally, nationally and internationally. Our carefully crafted campaigns cover every possible angle to blanket both mainstream and specialized media with our client's message. We generate high consumer awareness, whether it's a movie premiere at the Cannes Film Festival or a Ben & Jerry's store branding in New York City.

BazanPR understands the minority market. We give our clients access to the minority community by drawing on our thorough and ongoing research of the African-American market: consumer interests, preferences, and habits, as well as the latest trends and fads.

BazanPR brings business to show business. We give our corporate clients access to celebrities and the entertainment world. By creating marketing opportunities for cross-promotions, product tie-ins and openings, we link our clients to high-profile events and publicity.

BazanPR is sensitive to the individual needs of talent, whether it's a celebrity or a corporate executive. We understand and respect the creative temperament and the demands placed on celebrity and we work closely with the talent to help them realize their vision and marketing objectives.
