Our mission: To break free from the concept that PR professionals work at press release factories. We’re putting the personal relationship back into public relations.

How can we do this? By working with one client at a time and producing strategic marketing plans that put them in touch with their audience in a variety of ways, whether it’s online or offline. Keeping you connected with your clients, customers and constituents in a personal way is what we’re all about.

Meet the leaders that make it all happen. They run a strangely similar and parallel life but complement each other in amazingly unique ways.

Liza Jones, President

A wanna-be journalist with more than 10 years of experience in public relations, Liza always searches for the most interesting news angle to pitch to the media or most creative event opportunity to make her clients the superstars in their industries. Really, she’s like a stage mom for her clients, because she knows it’s more important for them to take home the glory – while she coaches and applauds from the wings.

When she’s not running her PR business, she’s chasing after her two sons and hanging out with her husband, friends and family. She’s an avid Clemson Tigers fan, loves watching the Food Network and HGTV, and feeding her addiction for all-things-news.

Kim Banks, APR, Director of Client Services

With more than 10 years of experience in the public relations industry, Kim has a strong agency background, which brings a deep love for clients within all industries.  She speaks your language, your company’s language and your industry’s language – and can tie it all together for your special audiences. While her brain never stops thinking about PR, she takes time out to go on road trips with her husband and their overly excited lab-mix, as well as spend time with friends and family.

Caitlin Greeley, Account Coordinator

When Caitlin joined Full Circle Public Relations, we added another Clemson fan and Snuggie owner to the group. Liza and Kim actually met Caitlin in her senior year at Clemson University when she was conducting a research study about corporate culture in communications firms.  And they were thrilled  when she decided to stay in the area after graduation to join the team.

Caitlin now applies the communications skills she learned in school (and from her days as writer for the Tiger, Clemson’s student publication) to support day-to-day client and agency activities.  We also found out that her nickname is Cati-bug, but we aren’t telling anyone.

Shelley Addis, Account Coordinator

When Shelley joined the Full Circle PR team, we added a third Clemson Tiger and communications major (only the best, right?). Before graduating cum laude in May 2010, Shelley racked up marketing and PR experience as auction chair of Clemson University’s Division of Student Affairs and as an intern with Duke Energy and The Cliffs Communities.

Born and raised in (and commuting from) Seneca, Shelley has a life-long love of the Upstate and its vibrant business community. Outside of becoming Greenville’s next PR professional, she enjoys spending time with her family and is an avid reader (We’ve been raiding her bookcase since her first week).

Laurie Fontenot, Social Media Consultant

Laurie Fontenot, president of L’Acadian Communications, assists Full Circle PR’s clients with social networking strategy and execution from her home in Crowley, L.A.  With a background in public relations and interactive marketing, Laurie has also cultivated a passion for developing online strategies and measuring social media engagement for a variety of clients.

As the world of marketing continues to talk about tweets, apps, Fan pages, You Tube hits, blogrolls, widgets and all of that other “stuff” you are discussing around the water cooler, Laurie lives and breathes it. And, she makes all of it work to ignite the growth of online communities.  In the moments she’s not “updating her status,” she’s cooking with her husband, playing with her daughter and pulling for the Tigers…of LSU!
