Atomic
Alternative PR Energy
Team
Atomic Public Relations was founded in 1999 by an eclectic team of senior advertising, IT and PR executives with top brand experience spanning technology, consumer and entertainment markets — from Apple, Earthlink and Oracle to America West Airlines, BankOne, and Fine Line Features.
From those beginnings Atomic has built its team from highly experienced and motivated public relations executives, hand–picked from top agencies and client companies across the country for their track record, enthusiasm for our practice specialties, and the ability to think, learn and execute within our unique and high–expectation work environment.
All Atomic teammates are huge technology and gadget geeks; with great backgrounds in software, networking, on demand services, embedded systems, storage, security, data integration and web services, emarketing, media, Web 2.0, social media, social networking, telecom, mobile, wireless, audio/video, gaming and various hardware technologies among others.
In addition, many have big brand experience in consumer goods and services from action sports to luxury products, from food and beverage to high end retail, and from cosmetic products to travel, hospitality and more.
And we're all culture and entertainment fans with related experience spanning large entertainment properties such as IMAX and hit broadcast TV shows like Queer Eye, to web based and mobile entertainment destinations, to arts organizations and individual artists.
