Founded in 2009 in Jackson Hole, WY, Purple Orange LLC produces small batch, high quality brand communications mixed with creativity, modern mediums and a respected authentic voice. Our professional influences range from publishing, large and small agency work, and former in-house marketing; we like to think we see the whole picture for our clients. Specializing in outdoor and active lifestyle brands, our clients have spanned industry-leading performance apparel brands, food and beverage, outdoor tech, and non-profit work. We strive to create, execute and deliver customized communication platforms that meaningfully connect brands with their audiences.

We don’t believe in a shotgun approach to PR, but rather a deliberate process matching up appropriate pitches with interested journalists. We use old fashion best practice combined with modern mediums. Our communications are never seen as an annoyance or associated with spam. We’re well known for being timely, thoughtful, personal and real with all our communications. Sometimes it takes more time, but we’re into doing it right.

If you are looking for a workplace that offers perks like powder mornings, lunchtime bike rides and a dog friendly work environment, while working along side people who take as much pride in their professional career as they do in how many days a year they ski, Purple Orange may be the perfect place for you.
