Welcome!
JLIEU PR is a Los Angeles-based communications consultancy founded by me, Jessica Lieu. From startups to household name brands, I’ve spent the last 17 years helping my clients share their stories to a captivated audience - locally, regionally, nationally, and everything in between.
After over a decade of working in leadership and managing director positions for some of the most competitive global PR and communications agencies - where I worked on campaigns for Red Bull, Hershey, Nestle, and more - I started my own consulting business because it gave me the freedom to do what I love: working with experts and small businesses to elevate their presence, awareness, and share their compelling stories. In addition to developing successful consumer-facing programs, I also specialize in thought leadership PR for business executives, healthcare providers/medical professionals, wellness experts, and more.
Together with my seasoned team, we’re able to provide the type of thoughtful, personalized senior-level strategy and execution that often gets lost at bigger corporate agencies. Whether we’re working with a startup on a shoestring budget or a national brand with serious marketing dollars, we always take a strategic, results-driven approach to working with our clients.
Feel free to check out my LinkedIn page to see what clients, colleagues, and journalists have to say about working with me.
