Eisbrenner Public Relations Celebrates 20 Years of Excellence

Marks Milestone with Office Expansion

TROY, Mich., Dec. 13 -- Eisbrenner Public Relations, a leading firm to the global automotive and technology industries, is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the acquisition of an additional 900 square feet of adjacent office space, which the firm has developed into a high-tech training and collaboration center to support its growing Message Coaching(SM) practice area. Opened in 1985 as Ray D. Eisbrenner & Company, the firm today employs a team of 30 professionals and services some 25 select automotive and technology clients.

"Twenty years ago, the firm planned to someday reach five employees and to support a few solid clients," said firm founder, Ray Eisbrenner, chairman and chief executive officer. "We've been blessed with a fantastic team, and a roster of great clients who we also consider great friends. I never anticipated having this much fun."

In addition to traditional public relations, the firm has grown to include four practice areas: Design Group, Events Group, Message Coaching(SM), and Outside the Book, the firm's University Outreach Program. The practice areas provide clients a talented team of professionals with the skills, knowledge and desire to drive creativity and performance to meet all PR, marketing communications, events or advertising challenges.

The new training and collaboration center houses a high-speed computer with a DVD burner, an integrated digital video recorder for instant video camera playback, video projection with surround sound, wall-to-wall white boards, and modular furniture with room for meetings of up to 20 people. The center will be used primarily for the firm's proprietary message development process, as well as media, spokesperson and presentation coaching.

"Our 20th year has been particularly special," added Tom Eisbenner, president. "In addition to solid growth, our firm was named one of Michigan's 'Cool Places to Work' in August and Ray Eisbrenner was inducted into the Public Relations Society of America - Detroit Chapter Hall of Fame in November."
