Helping Economic Development and Tourism-Based Organizations Thrive
Every community has a characteristic sense of place. At Platinum PR, we add the polish and make it shine. For nearly two decades, the Platinum PR team has helped economic development and tourism organizations discover their potential, attract new investment, and elevate their identities.
Over the years, Platinum PR has grown from a one-person operation to a talented team of professionals in the Mid-Atlantic. We’re strategists, writers, and media mavens, but we’re also consumers, adventurers, and devoted citizens. Reimagining places is our passion.
