HOW WE STARTED
The Morris + King Company (MKC), based in New York City, was founded in 2001 by Andy Morris and Judith R. King. These two accomplished professionals established the firm to create world-class public relations and strate- gic marketing campaigns for a diverse client roster. Through flawless execution and by bringing the highest level of innovation, client service and accountability to all of its assignments and projects, MKC has become one of the leading independent communications firms in the industry.
Since its inception, MKC has experienced explosive growth, transforming itself from a full-scale public relations firm to a multifaceted company that specializes in communications planning, integrated marketing and branding. Today MKC serves more than 25 clients in such categories as luxury goods and services, digital entertainment, new media, magazines and publishing, music and real estate. The company’s extensive capabilities include media relations, brand marketing, crisis management, event planning and analyst relations. As MKC has successfully attracted new clients with wide-ranging needs and priorities, it has expanded its services to include, among others, media training and direct marketing.
MKC’s integrated approach includes developing and implementing marketing-based public relations and branding programs that are focused on surpassing clients’ goals and expectations. MKC executives work closely with clients to define strategic objectives and devise dynamic, creative and original ways to achieve them. As part of this process, MKC leverages its relationships with a network of business contacts spanning various industries to create new opportunities for clients. In addition, MKC’s principals are actively involved with the planning and execution of every client’s campaign.
MKC’s extraordinary track record in providing its diverse client roster with singular results is a testament to the vision and insight of Mr. Morris and Ms. King, the firm’s founders and principals. Mr. Morris is a highly respected public relations executive with more than 15 years of experience in creating and executing marketing campaigns for a wide range of clients. He also provides crisis manage- ment counsel for high-profile individuals and companies. Ms. King is a marketing and branding expert known for her unparalleled creativity in developing advertising campaigns, crafting targeted messages and producing collateral materials. Furthermore, she serves as MKC’s resident wordsmith and media trainer.
Moving forward, Mr. Morris and Ms. King, together with a skilled team of professionals, will continue to provide its expanding and varied client list with fresh ideas, exceptional communications initiatives, memorable events and outstanding results.
