Digital Marketing - MLS2ATX
ECPR (formerly Elizabeth Christian Public Relations) is a public relations firm specializing in projects involving media relations, video production, legislative and grassroots efforts, social media planning and execution, business development, event planning and crisis communications. We are dedicated to developing and delivering measurable communication strategies that align with our clients’ objectives.
If our clients’ businesses aren’t growing because of our work, we’re not doing our job.
ECPR was founded in 1995 by Elizabeth Christian. We grew over the next 25+ years from a couple of employees and a handful of clients to one of the largest public relations firms in Texas. In 2022, ECPR was acquired by long-time President Kristin Marcum. Following the acquisition, Marcum was named CEO. Christian remains involved in an Of Counsel role.
We are known for handling successful, results-oriented projects that employ a wide array of communication tools, including media outreach, creation of collateral materials, planning and implementation of social media strategies, video production, public meetings and celebrations, direct mail, e-marketing, website updates, development of speakers bureaus, public service announcements, coalition development and polling.
We have won numerous awards from public relations and community organizations. More importantly, many of our clients have been with us for years, a real mark of pride among our team.
