I started this company, officially, one year ago. I rushed it into existence because I had an amazing opportunity in Morrocco. I needed to put structure underneath JBrooksPR for the project. I&#8217;ve dreamed of owning my own Design and Public Relations Firm for a long time, so I took the plunge. The big opportunity turned out to not be so big but it was still the catalyst that got me to start on my JBrooksPR adventure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-circle-mask\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-006-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1672\" width=\"192\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-006-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-006-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-006-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-006-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-006-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-006-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 192px) 100vw, 192px\" \/><figcaption>Hassan II Mosque is a mosque in Casablanca, Morocco.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So what do you do with a business that you built sooner than you expected? You go out and get some clients. I also work as a Public Relations professional, in the government sector, so I am free to take risks and to try things I wouldn&#8217;t be able to if JBrooksPR didn&#8217;t start the way it did. I&#8217;ve had some pretty interesting adventures in building this business informally. I worked with a few podcasts, some performers, I&#8217;ve entered filmmaking contests, I&#8217;ve done promotions for local entertainment scene and some other really fun and outrageous stuff. Turns out I love working with innovators, rebels, and those who think outside the box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-007-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1675\" width=\"173\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-007-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-007-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-007-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-007-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jbrookspr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/20181209-JEB-007.jpg 1469w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 173px) 100vw, 173px\" \/><figcaption>Mosaic on Hassan II Mosque Casablanca, Morocco.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What I realized from this experience is that more than half the fun is in the creative risk-taking. I am a planner and strategist by nature. Look at my profile on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jbrookspr\">Linkedin<\/a> if you want the details. Jumping in with both feet, even for an opportunity that didn&#8217;t pan out, was an amazing growth experience and allows me to take more chances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now is the time to formalize JBrooksPR further. I love to take innovative risks and build my creative muscles. I&#8217;m adding structure now to turn my 15+ years of experience, years of education, and blood sweat and tears into making JBrooksPR a brand rather than a side project. Welcome to the beginning of the formal JBrooksPR. I look forward to building great things together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the new site for JBrooksPR.
