OUR STORY

Germinder + Associates, Inc. is a woman-owned strategic communication and public relations agency that helps organizations tell their story to new and existing customers. The company was founded in 1998 by Lea-Ann O’Hare Germinder, M.S. APR, Fellow PRSA.

Lea-Ann Germinder is both an innovator in digital communications and a veteran communicator in traditional and crisis communications. In fact, her iconic award-winning “Pets Need Dental Care, Too!” campaign built the oral care category for pets.

But pet products isn’t the complete story. She and her teams have created award-winning results in niche categories for companies from A to Z, communicating about important issues to the public in healthcare, food & beverage, sporting goods, real estate, transportation and more. If you have a product or service to promote, an issue to educate about, no matter what category, we would be pleased to work with you.

Based in the New York City area and Kansas City, we have two ideal entry points for companies and organizations interested in entering or already in the U.S. market. We look forward to helping you.

Contact us at 917-334-8682 or Lgerminder@germinder.com.
