When John Rosica, Bill Mulhern, and Marilyn Rosica launched Rosica Communications in 1980, they were trading on experiences and skills they had developed and fine-tuned in the music industry. Rosica quickly made its mark by setting and leveraging trends, staging memorable media events, and becoming one of the PR industry’s first cause marketing firms. In fact, Rosica helped make two brands nationally known, strictly through PR (without the benefit of advertising- Literary Volunteers of America and Wally Amos, a high school dropout and his company Famous Amos Cookies. In a textbook program that still serves as a case study in PR and marketing classes, Rosica developed grassroots media events and a strategic cause marketing tie-in with to elevate the brand’s story. Famous Amos Cookies became a household name, and when Keebler purchased it in 1998, the company was valued at $200 million.

Rosica was ahead of the digital marketing trend and one of the first PR agencies to embrace online marketing, fusing traditional media capabilities with the latest online and social media strategies and practices to deliver “360°” PR and marcom programs. We did this in 2008 when we co-founded Interact Marketing, LLC to ensure our clients had access to strategic digital marketing capabilities services.
