is a bicoastal communications firm dedicated to social change.
At Pro-Media, we’re your advocates first. Everything we do is infused with our commitment to justice, equality and progressive issues. We’re a close-knit team of passionate, high-energy individuals who love our work. We closely monitor the media and we speak your language.

Since 1986, our firm has helped hundreds of social change agents hone strategies, find their audiences, shape their messages and have an impact. We represent some of the most widely-respected organizations and individuals in the fields of economic and social justice, intellectual freedom, women’s rights, health care, criminal justice reform, philanthropy, education and other progressive social issues. We have close relationships with journalists who speak to your audiences: writers at national bureaus and at your local paper, editors in the ethnic press, bloggers around the globe and producers on the radio and t.v. shows most popular with your stakeholders.
We are easily accessible and take pride in working closely with you to enhance your work and make your job easier. When you partner with Pro-Media, you work directly with our team of communications managers, public relations professionals, former journalists, strategists, social networkers and writers. We work hard to help you or your organization change hearts and minds in your community and around the globe. We help organizations influence policy, frame the debates and set the record straight. We turn your complex issues into clear messages that move those who matter to you most, whether you want to reach policy-makers, donors, academics, public intellectuals or your internal and external stakeholders.
