Pierpont: The Right PR & Marketing Partner for Arizona Businesses

Our decision to open a Phoenix office reflects a clear strategic opportunity in one of the fastest-growing business markets in the country.

When it’s your home, it hits different.

Arizona, and Greater Phoenix in particular, are undergoing a remarkable transformation. Building upon legacy industries such as healthcare, tourism, and real estate, the region is now a national leader in biosciences, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing, clean energy, aerospace and defense, and technology innovation. Phoenix is the fifth-largest city in the U.S., anchoring a metro area of nearly five million people and some of the fastest-growing industries in the country.

Greater Phoenix’s growth is fueled by decades of intentional investment and close collaboration among economic development organizations, city, county, and state leaders and elected officials, as well as Arizona’s higher education institutions, all working together to drive innovation and opportunity statewide.

The region’s vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem is further energized by strong venture capital momentum, with startups raising over $1.2 billion in funding in 2024 alone, supported by a network of industry groups, accelerators, and business associations that foster innovation and collaboration.

After 30 years in Phoenix and 14 years as a PR and communications practitioner, I have had a front row seat to the transformation and growth, which is where the opportunity to lead Pierpont’s Arizona expansion meets my personal passion to make an impact on the place I call home.
