Our Services & Capabilities
Public Relations
Public Relations is at the heart of J. Marie Agency. We love connecting great people with other great people and watching everybody get excited about innovative and progressive products and companies. We help articulate your businesses and products, delivering messages unconventionally and gaining exposure through local and national magazines, newspapers, television, radio, and e-media by knowing the right people, the right places and the right times.
Grassroots & e-Marketing
Crucial to a complete integrated marketing plan today, grassroots, e-marketing and creation of a web presence is a necessity. We help you create a web community with your own site, help you cross market, learn and align with top blogs and sites for your demographic, keep an open line of communication with your customers via e-newsletters and help inspire others to “Google you” with supplemental public relations.
Events
Whether it’s a pow-wow of the year, a subtle eco-event or an educational seminar or speaking engagement, we know how to gain brand visibility and nurture relationships with your customers via face time and a good signature cocktail! J. Marie Agency events are tailored to your specific demographic and geared towards building awareness, devotion and excitement for your brand offerings.
Focus Groups
J. Marie Agency recommends conducting informal focus groups as way to gain invaluable opinions of what’s resonating and what may be missing from your brand. We employ qualitative research methods, international recruitment, participant qualification, questionnaire development, conduction and group modification, as well as final reports of the research.
Deskside Tours
J.Marie Agency believes in launching brands via face time with national media several times a year. In the "Age of Information" this service has become especially important for growing and nurturing media relationships.
About Jill Logiudice, President, J.Marie Agency
With a background in investigative journalism and creative writing, Jill transitioned to work for marketing and public relations agency GolinHarris International, followed by Edelman Public Relations Worldwide. This agency experience gave her the opportunity to work with clients such as Wrigley, Nestle Purina, H.J. Heinz and The American Lamb Board, as well as with acclaimed chefs Jim Botsacos, Pano Karatassos, Melissa Perello and Brooke Vosika. Eventually Jill was brought on internally as a "one-woman-PR-band" for client InterfaceFLOR, a sustainable modular carpet tile company.
Privileged to work for FLOR over the past several years, Jill helped to nearly double their business each year and garnished over 14 million dollars worth of media exposure through public relations, marketing support, and designer incentive program outreach. This buzz helped to merchandise and sell the web/catalog brand to high-volume retailers such as Target, CB2 and Land of Nod as well as over 150 notable boutique retailers.
Inspired by many emerging brands and innovative, sustainable, holistic companies, Jill began J. Marie Agency in 2006. Specializing in ongoing marketing and public relations, Jill works with local and national campaigns, having worked on projects ranging from domino magazine co-branding “bashes”, to media segments on OPRAH and HGTV. Since J. Marie’s inception, Jill has worked with clients not exclusive to C2 Paint, Colori Chicago, Living Design Studio, and Adler’s Hardware, along with many fung shui designers, newly budding fashion houses, epicureans, photographers, hardware boutiques & paint store owners across the country.
