All of these services (and much, much more) are now available to Massachusetts government agencies through PRF86.
“Our selection as an approved PRF86 vendor means our clients benefit from a streamlined procurement process, saving valuable time and administrative effort,” said company founder John Guilfoil. “The expedited state contract process gives public agencies in the Commonwealth a fast, reliable way to work with JGPR, a firm that has over a decade of experience in government communication, public safety messaging, media relations, crisis management and digital media.”
From communication campaigns for capital projects to recruitment initiatives, public health messaging, and website redesign, JGPR’s inclusion on PRF86 makes our services more accessible than ever to our public sector partners.
“We built JGPR to serve the unique needs of government agencies, public safety departments, and schools,” said Benjamin Paulin, Senior Vice President of JGPR. “PRF86 makes it easier for those organizations to reach us and put our team to work without delay. At JGPR, our work has always been about helping communities — whether that’s communicating during a crisis, promoting important community initiatives, recruiting the next generation of police officers and firefighters, or supporting students and schools. This designation by the Commonwealth gives us another way to deliver timely, reliable communication support to the public sector.”
