Home > ABOUT US > Our History

Ayers Public Relations is a descendent of one of the first public relations counseling firms in the Rocky Mountain Region founded in the early 1950s by Richard K. Ayers. Now his granddaughter, Sydney, has launched the firm anew under its original name following more than a decade of working with her father, Richard's son Rendall.  Three generations in a field as relatively new as public relations is believed unprecedented in the United States.

Our firm is a full service public relations practice with special expertise in issues management, marketing public relations and reputation management. We provide strategic internal and external communications counsel to help organizations tell their stories and manage their reputations with employees, the public and the media. 
 
The firm’s executives have successfully served a variety of clients on local, regional, national and international levels. We have served clients in a variety of industries including manufacturing, technology and professional services.  We also work with government entities, public institutions, associations and non-profits.
 
We are a team of seasoned communications professionals with more than 50 years of combined experience in issues management, crisis communications, community outreach, media relations, employee communications and leadership coaching.
 
Ayers Public Relations maintains working relationships with leading public relations professionals and agencies throughout the United States and in several foreign countries, enabling us to quickly expand on-site support as required. Also available is access to the leading press relations wire services for immediate world wide dissemination of news to general and trade media, investment professionals and selected databases.
