Infiniti has selected JMPR Public Relations, based in California, as its Agency of Record for the brand’s product and lifestyle communications efforts in the United States. JMPR will be responsible for media relations activities and provide strategic brand-building counsel as Infiniti continues to broaden its product line and presence in the competitive performance luxury automobile segment.

“Infiniti is entering an inspired era and we are so excited to be a part of it,” said JMPR President Joseph Molina. “We look forward to down the road, when we’re able to say ‘we were there when it happened,’ which is exactly what we’ve done for international brands for years.”

Joe Ciarallo — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:27:08 +0000

Music industry focused PR and online marketing agency Shore Fire Media sent out invites to their annual holiday party today. Appropriately, they riff on the Kanye West MTV Awards fiasco meme. We’ve removed date and location info so all you grubby PRNewser readers don’t go attacking their open bar. We kid. We love our readers, but we just can’t spread this invite to the entire Internet.

Shore Fire current and recent clients include Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Paul Simon and Diana Krall. The company also has branched out into corporate work with companies like TuneCore, Toyota, Heineken, Dunkin’ Donuts and Sirius Satellite Radio.
