If “fearless PR” was a Webster’s dictionary entry, you’d see one name there: Nicole Rodrigues—as founder and leader of LA-based NRPR Group Inc. (NRPR), an award-winning, full-service public relations and creative marketing agency that is radically committed to reshaping and elevating the PR industry, she has defied odds and emerged as a leader in an era where AI threatens traditional PR and marketing roles.
This year, her firm proudly marks its 10th year of empowering brands and redefining industry norms. Despite shortcuts and quick solutions being prevalent in the minds of brands and customers, NRPR stands firm in its commitment to strategic brilliance and thoughtful execution, knowing that true success in building brands and their reputations comes from authenticity and passion..
In an environment where female-owned businesses often struggle to stay afloat, NRPR not only survives but thrives, cementing its position as a leader in the industry. According to a blog post on SCORE.org titled ‘State of Women Entrepreneurs,’ “49% of businesses owned by women were 0-5 years old (vs. 52% on average).” This statistic underscores NRPR’s longevity, doubling the average lifespan of a female-owned business.
As NRPR commemorates its milestone ten-year anniversary in 2024, its enduring excellence in PR and marketing shines bright. Offering a comprehensive range of services, the agency continues to cater to a diverse clientele, spanning industries such as technology, entertainment, healthcare, gaming, and web3 innovation.
“Our milestone ten-year anniversary is something I’m so proud of and I’m thrilled to have led and experienced such a powerful evolution,” said Nicole Rodrigues, NRPR’s CEO and founder. “In an industry characterized by constant change, our team’s ability to adapt and innovate has been our cornerstone. As we reflect on a decade of navigating change and seizing opportunities, I’m immensely grateful for the collaborative spirit that defines NRPR.”
