From our beginnings in the shadow of the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee, Ackermann PR has maintained an impressive roster of national and regional clients. Building on her experience as the World’s Fair’s Director of Corporate Marketing and Promotions, Cathy Ackermann launched a full-service public relations firm with a diverse client base of Fortune 500 companies, as well as local and regional businesses. As the firm built a reputation for delivering high-quality, strategically-sound work, its exponential growth was recognized by Inc. Magazine, Working Woman magazine, industry observers, and professional awards and honors.
The agency has built a diverse and collaborative team of experienced marketing and communications professionals, a client roster that includes well-known brands, and a track record of outstanding performance and superior client service.
Today, Ackermann PR provides a wide range of services, including public affairs, tourism and economic development, digital and social media marketing, cause branding, creative services, corporate and crisis communications, and more. The agency’s client base covers a wide spectrum from entrepreneurial start-ups and billion dollar companies to non-profit organizations and government initiatives.
