OurStory

Barefoot PR was founded in 2010 by Cori Streetman and Sarah Hogan. Our founders believed strong reputations were built through a commitment to doing the right thing and vowed to never dress up clients to be something they are not. We remain dedicated to this philosophy in our work to build reputational capital through public relations and design with purpose.

OurCommunity Commitment

We are passionate about the role nonprofits play in dismantling systemic barriers and improving quality of life for all. This drives our work and our commitment to community investment.

We encourage our team to serve on nonprofit boards and committees. We show our support by providing time off to volunteer, making financial contributions, offering training and leadership development opportunities, and showing up as a team for fundraisers, events, volunteer days and other activities. Looking for a board or a committee member?

Pro Bono Work

We have contributed thousands of hours in pro bono or discounted services to nonprofit organizations. We select our pro bono clients based on the passions of our team and our company’s relationship to the organization. We focus our pro bono work on projects that can transform an organization long-term. Often, this is a research-based messaging project, a communications roadmap or a program launch. If you are interested in applying for pro bono support, get started by sending us your information.
