Allen Hall Public Relations is a student-run public relations firm at the University of Oregon. Allen Hall Public Relations is a public relations agency unlike any other. With 32 members and more than seven years in business, we’ve provided services ranging from media relations to event planning. We’re a full-service agency for a fraction of the cost of the “big boys.”
The client I work with is the Eugene Center for Community Counseling. I've written blogs, created business cards, and media kits, as well as worked on event promotion for their 30th anniversary celebration.
