ARPR, a tech public relations agency that propels global leaders to #MakeNews and #DriveLeads, announced that it has leased approximately 2,300 square feet in Atlanta’s Ponce City Market, relocating its headquarters to the city’s hottest mixed-use development located in the historic 90-year old Sears building. With its move from the Biltmore in Midtown, ARPR becomes the first and only small business leaseholder of Ponce City Market’s office spaces, joining tech giants athenahealth, MailChimp, Cardlytics, Pinterest, Twitter and Techstars, among others.
The new office space will support the agency’s 45 percent year-over-year growth, while providing a collaborative environment for its employees to continue to push the limits of what a PR firm can achieve. Currently ARPR is hiring for multiple entry, mid and senior-level tech PR and digital marketing positions in Atlanta.
“It’s a tremendous achievement for a five-year-old tech PR agency to become neighbors with some of the world’s leading Health IT, FinTech, digital media and social media companies,” said Evan Goldberg, vice president of client service, ARPR. “Moving our headquarters to Atlanta’s hottest commercial real estate property is a significant milestone on our journey to lead the PR industry in innovation, client retention and employee satisfaction.”
“ARPR is an excellent addition to our portfolio of tech tenants that includes innovative and disruptive leaders from across the industry,” said Matt Bronfman, Principal and CEO of Jamestown, L.P. “We welcome ARPR and look forward to their integration into our thriving community.”
In preparation for the agency’s fifth anniversary, ARPR also unveiled a brand and website refresh, highlighted by a more sophisticated logo and icon, an updated color palette and a new tagline, “PRopelling what’s Possible.” The complete story behind the new logo and icon is available on the ARPR blog. The brand refresh closely follows the launch of FutureofPR.org, a brand-driven microsite dedicated to educating and discussing the future of the PR industry.

“Every element of the ARPR brand is strategically crafted to align with our culture and commitment to both employees and clients,” said Blair Broussard, senior vice president, ARPR. “Our brand refresh and the meaning behind the new logo are a testament to our growth and representative of the direction of an agency at the forefront of mapping the future of PR.”
