WELCOME TO JS2 PR

We are seasoned public relations and marketing professionals, specializing in the Food and Beverage and Hospitality industries, whose shared strengths are raised to the second power on our clients’ behalf.

THE POWER OF TWO

In the beginning, “The Power of Two” represented the shared strengths of co-founders Jeff Smith and Jill Sandin, working together to produce exceptional results. Today, the phrase has evolved to include the power of great partnerships — in particular the side-by-side associations with our clients in the Food and Beverage and Hospitality industries, and the deep, long-standing relationships we enjoy with local and national media.

WHO WE ARE.

JS2 PR is an integrated communications and consulting firm comprised of a close-knit, experienced, passionate and hard-working group of professionals who believe that what we do for our clients is vitally important to the success of their businesses. Our work is informed by our love of eating, drinking and cooking. We are always thinking about our next meal.

FEATURED CLIENT

Juniper & Ivy

“Chef Anthony Wells has been the driving creative force behind Juniper and Ivy since 2017, putting supreme care into each dish. He takes it upon himself to butcher his own lambs, pigs, poultry, and seafood, and prefers to meet the local purveyors of his wares in person to ensure that everything is to the utmost standard of this fine establishment. In true culinarian fashion, Chef Wells is constantly pushing the limits of creativity to make a night out at Juniper and Ivy a truly extraordinary experience.”

JS2, while being incredibly effective in the traditional PR function, has become an indispensable part of our brand development. The team truly understands who we are and what we are seeking to accomplish. They are always accessible, they are on top of everything they do on our behalf, and they are an absolute pleasure to work with. Their advice and guidance has been a vital contributor to our growth and success.

I approached JS2 to handle dineLA's PR needs and they really helped to increase the awareness for our Restaurant Week and Happy Hour Week events. The entire team goes above and beyond to ensure the job gets done and done well. Their positive attitude also makes it very easy to work with them. I would recommend JS2 to anyone in the restaurant or hospitality industries looking for a PR firm who will give you their full attention.
Stacey Sun, Director, dineLA
I love working with JS2. They have managed campaigns for two of Los Angeles Times’ signature events, Festival of Books and The Taste, and they bring passion, creativity and accountability to each project. They are both a pleasure to work with and incredibly effective in reaching earned media goals.
Hillary Manning, Communications Director, Los Angeles Times
I can honestly say that my restaurant would not be what it is today without the support and teamwork from JS2. They worked at getting us placements in our first two months that most restaurants never get after years!! Working with them has been one of the best partnerships I could ask for.
Ted Hopson, Chef/Owner, The Bellwether
Since hiring JS2 in 2013, I have been impressed with the team’s passion for the Dog Haus brand as well as their creative, forward-thinking and strategic consumer and business PR approach. Over the years, JS2 has become an integral part of the team we can depend on which is important as the brand expands. We can count on them to deliver every time.
