John O'Hara

Partner, Director of Public Relations, EMA Group B2B

Developing a compelling story in any form — video, print or social media — requires knowledge, experience and shoe leather. John goes the extra mile by visiting jobs sites, distributors, and contractor tradeshows year-in and year-out. John insists on seeing first‐hand where contractors use our clients’ products, and how they are developed and built. He believes this is critical to framing up winning strategy, creating thought‐provoking content and activating it through editorial relationships and news bureaus. John helps manage an impressive team of contractor‐focused PR professionals and works with a variety of great brands.

Legran Pass & SeymourTwist. Click. Screw. Done.

LenoxGo for the Gold!

Newell Rubbermaid's LENOX® brand leads in premium cutting tools and accessories. A new product, a box‐cutter‐type utility blade, featured a titanium‐coated golden edge. Yes, much longer life, but at three times the cost. Would contractors and users pay more?
