Dedicated to Seniors and to Senior Living Providers

CEO Jeff Bell founded Bell PR & Marketing in 2020, right as Covid was reaching full impact. Already a savvy senior living PR veteran, he saw that senior providers were going to need a special level of messaging support. He was right. The young agency quickly added new clients who needed smart, agile communications, while they fought to maintain their existence.

Besides top “big agency” experience,  Jeff brought a sincere heart and a seasoned mind to serving his senior living clients.  Since Jeff didn’t have to support a huge building and a large number of staff, he was able to deliver top results for a fraction of what his competitors had to charge. That proved to be an irresistible combination and Bell has grown quickly, only adding top talent with major experience in senior living industry.

Like you, we see our work as equal parts mission, ministry and methodology. In fact, we are radically committed to staying ahead of the curve to deliver “best practices” in senior PR and marketing, as well as being an industry “bellwether,” providing thought leadership as well as solid results.

Though committed to affordable solutions, we never compromise bringing advanced ideas and tech-savvy techniques to keep you ahead of the curve as well. That enthusiasm for excellence seems to attract like-minded clients. Nothing gives us more pleasure than helping them become bellwethers in their own right. That’s why our slogan is: Never Follow. Be a Bellwether.

Jeff Bell and the Making of Main Street Values

In a world full of faceless corporations, Bell PR & Marketing brings a down-home set values to every project we do for you. Please take a few minutes to listen to Bell CEO Jeff Bell share how growing up in a multi-generational family of entrepreneurs shaped his perspective on doing business. Jeff understands that success is about making his clients successful–whatever it takes. Because with us, all business is personal, just like it was for Jeff’s Granddad and his lumber and hardware store in a small town in Kansas.

“At Bell, we believe that you shouldn’t have to compromise on quality in order to get truly attractive pricing. We know that if we do extra ordinary work, at budget friendly prices, everyone wins. We are the model for the future.”
