Obsidian PR

When Lava Meets Water,

Something Magical Happens.

When Lava Meets Water,

Something Magical Happens.

Obsidian is the dark natural glass that forms when molten lava meets water and is rapidly cooled. This is what strategic public relations can do for your company — it tempers fires and gives you a solid, impenetrable foundation in an ever-fluid business environment. Known as The Great Stabilizer, Obsidian the mineral is widely regarded for its mystical power of insight. And so is Obsidian the firm. Based in Memphis, Tennessee, Obsidian is known as the go-to firm for companies and not-for-profit organizations alike.

The Wizard Behind The Curtain

For far too long, public relations has been the invisible and mysterious cousin to advertising and marketing. But, it’s really easy when you think about it. When an organization connects to the people it cares about, that’s PR. When your story is told (in whatever lovely and purposeful fashion), that’s PR. Pure and simple.

Seeing is Believing

Oh, yes we did!

Amazing events require stellar teams, and our HOPE team worked incredibly hard to pull off the organization’s Rural Policy Conference in the Mississippi Delta! This annual conference challenges the greatest minds in our region to consider the economic nuances that rural communities, including those in our own backyard, face. Whitney and Jenna supported the planning team and attended the conference as logistics support. The event was deemed an enormous success!

Public relations is like a fine wine

Let’s talk wine for a bit. I’m not an avid wine drinker, but I appreciate a nice glass of red wine from time to time. As I was thinking about a lovely glass of Malbec I had, I wandered down a rabbit hole that I couldn’t help but share with […]

As Stacy, the company’s CEO, said, “Obsidian has not only provided the education necessary for ServiceMaster by Stratos to understand the way to go to market, but they have also helped us refine the message and create the channels to distribute the message.”
You gotta start somewhere!

A tenured OPR intern spreads her wings

We hate to see interns go, and that’s especially true when they’ve been with us for so long! Two-time intern Jenna has embarked on her career path outside of Obsidian, but she learned so much from her time with our team! She shares what she gained as an OPR intern here.
