OCPR offers strategic media relations with the international press in both Brussels and across Europe. We also provide drafting services for various trade associations, the European Commission and blue chip companies. OCPR regularly approaches traditional media outlets as well as new media to get its clients' messages across. Specialty areas include healthcare, environment and corporate communications.
OCPR was set up in November 2008 by Tom O'Connell who has over ten years of experience working in the PR arena with the likes of Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide and Edelman in both Brussels and Dublin. This experience has instilled in him a solid understanding of the EU-27 media landscapes. More recently, OCPR has also been reaching out to the United States, China and Australia via new media channels.

OCPR has excellent contacts with the Brussels Press Corps and regularly secures quality media coverage for their clients when required. The company takes a targeted and strategic approach, offering one-on-one interviews as well as meet and greets between its clients and key media. |
When holding a press conference, we believe that location is crucial for securing media attendance. In Brussels for example, we would advise against holding a media event outside of the European quarter – quality journalists rarely have the time to travel lengthy distances.
 |
All too often, companies and associations issue media materials that are at best confusing; at worst incomprehensible. OCPR regularly transforms complex information into digestible texts for the masses. |
 |
Knowing many respected and experienced PR people across Europe means OCPR can offer a network of experts to clients that wish to communicate across borders. We feel that this is a win-win situation for the client who will benefit from the services of seasoned professionals. |
