AIP Funds

"Under JCPR’s media guidance, in just under six years, AIP went from a one-fund startup, with only $12MM in AUM, to a multi-fund platform with almost $1 Billion in AUM. JCPR demonstrated a unique grasp of both the financial industry and the investment advisor community that is our primary target market.  The cumulative effects of the ongoing campaign yielded the greatest benefits, and paid for itself many times over."

Lee W. Schultheis, CEO and Co-Founder

American Beacon Advisors

 "We are an Institutional Mutual Fund family attempting to build a retail presence almost exclusively through public relations and JCPR. JCPR’s style and the team’s work ethic and professionalism match our company perfectly. From the minute we began working with JCPR, and their considerable number of media contacts, the feature articles, expert commentaries, TV appearances, and fund mentions started rolling. The team is very easy to work with and caught on quickly to what we were trying to accomplish. We are extremely pleased."

Brian E. Brett, VP, Director

 

Direxion

 "As a provider of sophisticated investment products, Direxion is challenged with a significant educational effort to ensure that information about our products is accurately disseminated to the public. The JCPR folks are  extreme experts on our products, and tirelessly work to deliver this product knowledge to the media community. The quality of the professionals at JCPR is extremely high and consistent throughout the entire organization. We are so grateful to the team, and it's a true pleasure to work with them day in and day out."

Andy O’Rourke, Chief Marketing Officer

 

Easter Seals New York

"Easter Seals New York is grateful for what Jennifer and the team at JCPR has brought to us. The difference in media relations, visibility and public relations before and after Jennifer joined the Easter Seals New York Board is night and day. By offering her pro bono support, our message has reached a much larger group. In addition to her professional expertise, we are indebted to Jennifer's personal dedication to the people we help. We wouldn't be where we are without her."

John McGrath, Senior Vice President of Development

 

ETF Trends

 "The JCPR team has taken our PR from the minors to the big leagues; they have taught that having a strategy and building a brand are critical to sustaining growth. I unequivocally trust their guidance in planning, strategy and execution. In today’s fast changing market place we have many opportunities to chime in with the press. The key is having an advocate with a finger on the pulse who can act quickly on your behalf. If you’re thinking about hiring JCPR call me."

Folio Institutional

 "When it comes to serving clients JCPR's actions speak much louder than any words. You keep the focus squarely on the client, and while the results are highly visible, JCPR is almost invisible to those on the outside looking in. Much of the work I see from other PR firms seems to draw attention to themselves. JCPR, on the other hand, seems content to be the unseen wizard behind the curtain, the "Intel" inside that makes the whole process work. You don't let ego get in the way because you know that when your clients look good, JCPR looks good."

Greg Vigrass, President

Gemini Fund Services

"Gemini has seen a direct correlation in new business in the form of new clients and assets as a result of JCPR’s campaign. JCPR has been an integral part of our sales process and success over the last 6 years. JCPR established our brand and works every day to manage and protect it.  We used to joke that Gemini was the best company that nobody knew—the latter is no longer true. We couldn’t be happier with JCPR and the remarkable results."

Andrew Rogers, President

 

HighTower

"JCPR is a firm of consummate professionals with deep industry connections and financial services expertise. We are thrilled with the strategic and tactical work developed by the firm, and most importantly, they have earned the respect and admiration of our executives, financial advisors, and members of our Board. Jenn and her team at JCPR deliver time and time again."

Elliot S. Weissbluth, CEO

 

InvestmentNews

 "I was introduced to Jenn Connelly in 2005 and was immediately impressed with her direct and honest approach to this business. Jennifer values the time of journalists and has only passed along reliable industry contacts who are suited for our audience. From my experience, prior to having one of JCPR’s clients contacted and interviewed as a source for a story, her team pays careful attention and does their homework in an effort to understand the editorial direction of a financial publication."
