Axia Public Relations sponsored the Newsroom Street Fight, a dodgeball tournament inspired by Anchorman Ron Burgundy. The event pitted print, broadcast, and online newsrooms against each other. The event funded five two-year college scholarships for Police Athletic League students.
What We’ve Built
In 2002, upon leaving his vice president of communications and marketing position, Jason Mudd founded Axia in his den without a single client — but with a clear commitment to creating a better public relations agency experience for clients and employees.
Jason is a trusted adviser and dynamic strategist to some of America’s most admired and fastest-growing companies, including American Airlines, Budweiser, Dave & Buster’s, H&R Block, Hilton, HP, Miller Lite, New York Life, Pizza Hut, Southern Comfort, and Verizon. He’s also an award-winning professional public speaker, accredited public relations practitioner, published author, podcaster, and entrepreneur. In 2023, the World Communications Forum named him North America's Best PR Leader.
Twenty-some years since our agency’s start, our team and clients are nationwide. Our expert team is small and highly effective, with unwavering commitment to clients. We have a great reputation (client and employee net promoter scores range from 98-100), our clients are industry thought leaders, and we are positioned for significant growth. Our culture score is 94, representing our excellent-ranked accountability, engagement, purpose and values, vision, and teamwork and trust.
Our core values reflect who we are and what our clients need to succeed. We believe that when we follow these core values, we will have near-perfect client satisfaction and retention. That’s why we recruit, select, develop, reward, and maintain our client and team relationships based on how well they represent our core values.
We believe in hiring the world's most talented public relations professionals, regardless of where they live, work, and play.
Every employee receives an annual budget for professional development and a quarterly professional development plan. This may include investing in programs from the Public Relations Society of America, Agency Management Institute, Toastmasters International, HubSpot, and other certification and training programs.
We prioritize maintaining a healthy balance between personal and professional responsibilities.
We also support the rights of all individuals and oppose all forms of discrimination.
"When we treat people like mature adults, professionals, they respond accordingly."
- Ken Jacobs, Jacobs Consulting & Executive Coaching
