"Growth in terms of number and caliber of clients, and quantity and quality of media and influencer coverage, is one thing. But our tremendous growth over the last three years has been something different," said Kathleen Tomes, president and founder of Brilliant PR & Marketing. "Our growth in integrated marketing, strategy and campaign development, influencer marketing, video production, social media and creative has helped us become an entirely different type of agency than I ever imagined when we started fifteen years ago."

"For the last three years, we've been floating under the radar, building this agency into a strategic, integrated marketing powerhouse," said Clark Nesselrodt, executive vice president of Brilliant PR & Marketing and finalist for the Platinum PR Award for Agency PR Professional of the Year. "Watching this grow our clients' brands, their businesses and our own has been exhilarating. On behalf of both Brilliant and myself, we are so grateful for this acknowledgement of our development."
