About

O'Connell Communications was founded in 1993 by Dan O'Connell, a veteran of several Chicago public relations agencies. Rather than target growth for growth's sake, the agency has made the delivery of tangible, bottom-line results its focus. Every client is aggressively marketed with a strategic plan to reach the right media and the right target audience. By listening to our clients' needs, we gain invaluable insight and create a trusted extension of their marketing department. We are proud to have contributed to the success of a number of companies, having crafted the public relations strategy of start-ups and industry stars such as Toshiba, Mustek, Valspar, Honeywell and Emerson.

The Internet has radically changed the way we do business. Today, PR is not about getting the word out with a press release or a phone call to a reporter. It’s about leveraging new technology that stimulates compelling conversations across a global media landscape. The agency now plays the dual role of publicist and publisher. To some, it may be an overwhelming picture of chaos. To us, it’s an opportunity to lead our clients into a brave new world by creating informed, inspired strategies that drive perceptions and behavior while delivering measurable sales results.
