Small Adventures Communications
Public Relations
Small Adventures Communications is a PR agency that helps entrepreneurs, small businesses, non-profits, and large organizations build smart public relations plans that drive real results.
In nearly 20 years of working with non-profits that are household names, we have built communications and public relations plans that have changed legislation, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for the mission, driven health behavior change, and brought fresh event participants and donors to the table.
We've advised major consumer brands on ways to use PR to impact sales, counseled entrepreneurs and subject-matter experts on messaging, and provided trauma-informed media training to people sharing their health stories.
Impact starts with improving consumer understanding and driving action by building trust and credibility through earned media and public relations. We're here to provide expertise on public relations to help your organization shine.
Small Adventures Communications is led by Alexson Calahan, who has nearly 20 years of experience in communications research, planning, implementation and evaluation. She holds degrees in Marketing and Management from Drake University, as well as a Master's of Communication Leadership from Drake University. Much of her work centers around health care communications and focused on simplifying complex medical issues for patient education. Her professional experience includes time at leading local and national non-profit organizations, a marketing agency, and the sales department for a regional news leader.
She has led national and local public relations campaigns, securing key media wins including GMA, Today, USA Today, Dr. Radio, CNN, CNN en Español, NPR as well as niche outlets.
