Shore Fire Media is a public relations and media management firm, based in Brooklyn, New York, that specializes in entertainment and popular culture.[1][2][3][4] According to Variety, in 2017, Shore Fire Media had the largest number of Grammy Award nominations, with 21 nominations for 2018, of any public relations firm.[5]
History
Shore Fire Media was founded in 1990 by Marilyn Laverty in a small office in Brooklyn, New York with one employee and two desks, and future company senior VP Mark Satlof as a consultant.[6]
Laverty previously had worked for 13 years at Columbia Records, rising to become VP of publicity.[7][8] In 2016, Billboard named Laverty one of the music industry's most powerful female executives in its annual "Women in Music" issue.[9] She has a long-standing relationship with musician Bruce Springsteen.[10]
While the company originally focused on the music industry, it later branched into a wider client base including venues, businesses, websites, books, and non-music events.[6][11] Other clients include entertainers, authors, comedians, apps and services, non-profit organizations, and trade associations, as well as health and lifestyle brands.[12]
Shore Fire appeared on The New York Observer’s "Power List 50" of New York's top public relations firms in 2013, 2014, and 2015 and was listed as the city's top arts/culture/media firm by the publication in 2016.[1][2][3][4]
In 2013, Shore Fire opened an office in Nashville, Tennessee.[13][14] In 2015, Brian Mansfield joined Shore Fire as its content director.[15]
Notable campaigns
Shore Fire Media has run public relations campaigns for musicians such as Bruce Springsteen, Norah Jones, Bon Iver, and Elvis Costello.[7][13] Other current and past music clients have included Carole King, Bonnie Raitt, and St. Vincent, as well as Summerfest, Brooklyn Bowl, and Fare The Well: Celebrating 50 Years of the Grateful Dead.[citation needed]
In July 2002, the company gained recognition with the launch of the Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's The Rising, which was Springsteen's first studio album with the band since 1984.[7] According to a story about the release in The New York Times, Shore Fire released only ten copies to selected listeners before the release, as compared to the industry standard of releasing hundreds of promos.[16]
In 2014, the firm represented Maria Rodale, CEO and Chairman of lifestyle publishers Rodale, Inc.[citation needed]
Shore Fire Media worked with A2IM.[17]
