Hello and welcome to Peacock PR! We are a dynamically talented group of communication professionals ready to share our skills with the world.
Peacock PR was formed in Spring 2017 during an International Public Relations course at the American University of Paris, led by PR veteran David Macdonald. While examining the key frameworks and developments in communications theory and practice, we quickly realized our shared passion for public relations. Through the innovative efforts of group members Lianna Bass and Amanda Taylor, Peacock Public Relations was formed as a way for these graduate students to not only stay connected, but to also to encourage one another to succeed in all aspects of their respective careers and ambitions.
Take a look at our Bios to learn more about our group members' individual talents, along with contact information.
