Point B Communications
Branding
THE POWERS THAT B - At Point B, our story is rooted in more than 45 years of understanding what moves people. Our heritage in travel, destination, and hospitality marketing has taught us how to inspire action of all kinds. We know what motivates someone to explore, to purchase, to plan, to stay, and to choose the experiences and environments that feel right for them. We have learned what builds trust, what sparks excitement, and what creates comfort, whether someone is selecting a weekend escape, making an important purchase, or choosing their next place to call home. We are intentionally and proudly nimble. Our success has always been tied to helping others achieve theirs. We are hands-on marketers who measure our impact by your results, not the size of our trophy case. We dig in, listen closely, and immerse ourselves in your world. Then we bring together research, insight, creativity, and intuition to shape ideas that are compelling, confident, and impossible to ignore. Across hospitality, lifestyle, senior living, B2B, and every sector we support, our strategic, digital, and creative expertise helps ambitious brands cut through the noise and meet people where it matters most. We spark momentum. We guide journeys. We move people from point A to you. That is the Point B way.

Pietryla PR & Marketing
Public Relations
TALK TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT PLACES - Pietryla PR & Marketing is a boutique B2B communications consultancy founded in 2002 that works differently than traditional agencies. We're known for our anti-agency approach, which means our clients get direct access to senior-level strategic thinking without the typical agency layers and junior staff doing the heavy lifting. We specialize in packaging, manufacturing, and clean energy sectors, where we've built deep expertise and strong media relationships over more than two decades. Our work spans the full spectrum of communications needs, from media relations and thought leadership to crisis communications, fractional CMO services, and corporate strategy development. We're particularly focused on helping mid-market companies punch above their weight in competitive industries. What sets us apart is how we work. We become true partners with our clients' marketing leaders, operating as an extension of their teams rather than a vendor checking boxes. Our client relationships reflect this, many spanning five, ten, or even fifteen years because we're focused on driving measurable business outcomes, not vanity metrics. We work best with companies facing pivotal moments, whether that's a major product launch, facility opening, merger or acquisition, funding round, market repositioning, or a strategic shift that needs to be communicated effectively. We're also at the forefront of AI brand intelligence, helping companies understand and manage how AI systems represent their brands as these platforms increasingly influence B2B purchasing decisions. Based in the Chicago area with global reach, we bring senior-level expertise, industry knowledge, and a collaborative approach to every engagement.

O'Keefe Reinhard & Paul
Advertising
ABOUT US - Big brand creativity with startup ingenuity. We started our agency because we saw a void out there. Traditional agencies have the resources to give their clients big ides, but too often the working of these agencies gets in the way of the work itself. Start-ups are progressive and agile but can't seem to get past a boutique mentality when it comes to creative. Our answer is to deliver big brand creativity with the prowess of a start-up, sticking to these four rules: 1. Be nimble. Be quick. Be prolific 2. Practice "the high art of selling." 3. Put the "agent" in advertising agency. 4. Have soul.
