c3 communications

Twenty-five years into its run, c3 Communications built its San Diego practice around a single conviction: media relations is the core of public relations work, not an afterthought. The agency has championed events and tours annually, securing coverage for clients such as Belmont Park, the Pacific Coast Sportfishing Tackle, Boat, Travel and Outdoors Show, and Mazda North America.

Services cover media relations, crisis communications, corporate communications, thought leadership PR, event strategy, and press release and newsroom management. Social media work includes producing and editing video content, running live feeds, and placing strategic ads, all folded into multi-channel campaigns that pair traditional PR with digital and social components. When organizations face a crisis, c3's executive team steps in with strategic counsel and hands-on support, and thought-leadership engagements focus on positioning executives as authoritative voices within their industries.

Coverage generated for clients has landed on NPR, MSN, Yahoo Sports, and United Press International, alongside regional and broadcast placements on KTLA, FOX 11, Spectrum, and the Orange County Register. One campaign secured placement across five TV broadcast networks — FOX 5, NBC 7, CW, CBS 8, and Univision — the kind of broad-reach media relations result that underpins the agency's event and tour promotion work.
