🎉 Big news: The Key PR has never been better positioned to serve a wide breadth of clients — and we've got the senior counsel to prove it.
We're thrilled to welcome Jodi Maroney as Principal at The Key. Jodi joins us after a 25-year run at Access Brand Communications, where she was most recently SVP and partner. Throughout her career, she's led agency teams for B2B and consumer tech clients — everything from scrappy Series A startups to Fortune 100 brands — and built a reputation as the go-to strategic counselor for C-suite executives. She's steered high-stakes product launches, thought leadership platforms, executive visibility campaigns, and the kind of earned-media storytelling that actually breaks through.
For us, Jodi's arrival isn't just a new name on the team page. It's a signal: The Key has the bench, the bandwidth, and the senior counsel to take on a wider breadth of clients than ever — which means we're open for business and actively looking for the next ones.
Why Jodi’s Addition Matters for Prospective Clients
- More senior counsel, more capacity. Jodi's two decades of C-suite-level strategy work means The Key can go deeper - providing our clients with senior counsel throughout the engagement -not just on day one
- A wider lane, especially in B2B tech PR. Jodi will focus squarely on driving growth in this space — good news if you've been looking for a PR agency partner who already speaks your language.
- The same independent, no-BS approach, now with more horsepower behind it. Adding proven leadership doesn't change what The Key believes in; it lets the agency deliver it to more people.
Industry Recognition
The move already caught the industry's attention — O'Dwyer's, a leading trade publication covering the PR industry, reported on the appointment, noting Jodi's focus at The Key will span growth, mentoring the team, and hands-on client leadership. The Key PR founder and CEO Martha Shaughnessy told O'Dwyer's that Jodi choosing The Key is "a great validation of what we've built," one that will only accelerate the agency's path forward.
We're so excited to have Jodi on board!
