About Gonder Public Relations

Gonder Public Relations is a communications and marketing firm that specializes in the healthcare, technology and energy industries, professional services, education and government. We use research, strategy and communications tools to position companies as leaders, build understanding among customers and constituents, and drive behavior change.

Media relations can raise visibility and build credibility for companies and their products because such coverage is an implied endorsement from a third party – the news media or a trade group. We help clients tell their story through news releases, articles in trade publications, web sites and social networking sites.

Research does not have to be expensive. Carefully targeted interviews can reveal much about a company’s reputation with key constituency groups. With that background, action plans are developed that address weak spots and reinforce strengths.

Firm president Peggy Gonder is an experienced, accredited professional who works with every client. Without the overhead of a large agency, we help clients cost-effectively by tapping into a team of highly skilled professionals on an as-needed basis.   

Gonder Public Relations has twice won the coveted Small Practice Award from the Colorado Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America for comprehensive, year-round communications programs.
