ABOUT The Founder: Public Relations & Media Production

Meet The Public Relations & Media Production Professional

I am Patricia Hardison, a public relations professional, strategic communicator, and media producer passionate about helping businesses, nonprofit organizations, entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives communicate their stories.

My background in public relations and media production allows me to see communication from both sides, the strategy behind the message and the creative execution that brings it to life.

For me, effective communication is about more than gaining attention. It is about building credibility, creating meaningful connections, and making sure the story being told reflects the purpose behind the work.


My Foundation
 

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Digital Cinematography, where I developed a strong foundation in visual storytelling, narrative development, media production, and audience engagement.

I later earned a Master of Arts in Public Relations, strenthening my expertise in:


• Media relations and pitching
• Press release writing
• Public relations campaign strategy
• Crisis communication

• Strategic Communications

• Brand messaging

• Reputation and image management


This dual background of media production and public relations strategy allows me to approach communication from two perspectives: developing the strategy behind the message and creating compelling ways to bring that message to life..

PATRICIA HARDISON

Beyond the Title


Originally from Orlando, Florida, and now based in Georgia, I am also a devoted mother of two. Resilience, faith, discipline, and determination influence both my personal journey and the way I approach my work. 

I understand what it means to building something from the ground up — to keep moving when progress feels slow, to learn through challenges, and to remain committed to the vision.

 

I bring that same determination and intentionality to the brands, organizations, and individuals I have the opportunity to serve.

My Philosophy


Visibility is earned.

Credibility is built.
Influence is cultivated.
Elevation requires strategy.

 

I believe meaningful public relations is about more than publicity. It is about understanding your story, communicating it effectively, protecting your reputation, building relationships, and creating opportunities for your audience to see the value of what you bring.

If you are ready to position your brand with clarity and confidence, I welcome the opportunity to work together.

The Heart Behind Climb & Maintain

Climb & Maintain Public Relations Group was created from the belief that meaningful stories deserve the opportunity to be seen, heard, and strategically positioned.

What began as a vision rooted in hard work, faith, and determination has grown into a public relations and media production company committed to helping businesses, nonprofit organizations, entrepreneurs, artists, creatives, and professionals how they communicate and present their work.

Climb & Maintain was built for those who may not always have the largest platform but have a story worth telling, work worth recognizing, and a mission worth amplifying.

Through strategic communications and creative media production, we help transform those stories into opportunities for greater visibility, credibility, connection, and growth.
