Atomic
Alternative PR Energy
Team
Atomic Public Relations was founded in 1999 by a mix of senior advertising, IT and PR executives with experience spanning technology, consumer and entertainment markets — from Apple, Earthlink and Oracle to America West Airlines, BankOne, and Fine Line Features.
From those beginnings the agency has built its team from experienced and motivated public relations and communications people, hand–picked from top PR agencies and client companies across the country for their track record, category knowledge and commitment to executing within Atomic's alternative approach.
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 marketing campaigns, social networking, telecom, mobile, wireless, audio/video, gaming and various hardware technologies among others.
In addition, many have name 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.
