Have New York City Talent, But Crave Hudson Valley Heart? Impact PR is Hiring

March 26, 2018

At Impact PR & Communications, five signs that represent our values hang on our office walls. They guide our work ethic and are the basis for decisions about who we work with (and who works with us). We:

• Collaborate and communicate
• Build bridges
• Invest and immerse
• Act with integrity, always
• Look forward, think forward

We like to think we do things differently at our boutique public relations and marketing agency based in Poughkeepsie, NY, in Dutchess County, a short commute from Westchester, Putnam, Orange, Ulster and other nearby counties, as well as many parts of Connecticut. Our client roster includes nonprofit, wellness and fitness, real estate and construction, food and beverage, and corporate/professional services organizations. Last year, Impact PR was recognized for its stand-out work by being awarded the gold Stevie Award for Women in Business in 2017, for Top Women-Run Workplace of the Year (10 or fewer employees), a global recognition.
