Assist Communications helps organizations create and distribute their content across multiple channels and platforms to boost branding, media exposure, leads and revenue. Unlike other PR and marketing agencies, Assist draws upon the best practices of journalism while employing the latest methods of content marketing. We are based in Northern Virginia, just outside the beltway of Washington, D.C. OWNER: Mark O'Keefe is a six-time Pulitzer Prize nominee who has won more than a dozen journalism awards. Websites he created and managed have been honored three times by the Webby Awards. In May 2012, O'Keefe fulfilled a long-time entrepreneurial dream by birthing Assist Communications. MISSION: Create and distribute branded content to help organizations inform, inspire, influence and win. MOTTO: "We pass. You score." NAME: Unfortunately, dunking a basketball has never been an option for Assist owner Mark O'Keefe (unless you include that "Nerf" hoop he set up on the door of his childhood room). But passing a basketball has. As a player, a sportswriter, a coach and now a fan, O'Keefe has delighted in the creative, unselfish pass that sets up a teammate to take and make a shot. That, sports fans, is called an assist. It's what we do for our clients.
