How and when did the company get started?
It was March of 1998 when Jim Farrell opened the doors to PRfirst. With a career that included editor and publisher of two weekly newspapers on the South Shore of Massachusetts, and vice president of a public relations firm, Jim’s solid reputation as a journalist and public relations specialist was well established. Starting with just a handful of accounts – several that remain as clients to this day – it didn’t take long for Jim to build a customer roster that represents a wide range of industries, from financial institutions to health services, property management companies to construction/architectural firms.
What products or services do you offer?
Public relations campaigns, comprised of strategies such as press releases, thought leadership articles, interview opportunities, organizational profiles, and events including ribbon-cuttings and anniversary celebrations.
What’s the one thing your business is known for, over your competitors and why?
Four of us came from the newspaper/journalism/ publishing world prior to PR, so we understand the difference between news and advertising – which greatly benefits our clients. We’ve been told by many writers and editors, “You really understand our industry.”
Tell us an interesting and fun tidbit about your business.
We work with a wide range of clients, which provides us the opportunity to help promote really good people making a difference throughout the South Shore and beyond. Additionally, we learn a lot of fun things about a wide range of industries and services along the way!
Why did you decide to become involved with the Chamber?
The chamber is completely dedicated to making the South Shore a better place to live, work, and play every day! That is a mission we are proud to contribute to and an organization we are proud to be a part of!

How and when did the company get started?
Our team is comprised of veterans of some of the world's leading marketing and PR agencies. Our team intentionally parted ways with those big agencies beginning in 2020 in order to be closer to our craft and more deeply embedded with clients as they tackle their most pressing challenges.

We are a one-stop marketing and communications agency offering unparalleled expertise across multiple disciplines.

Our specialist-led offerings include media relations, crisis and issues management, video production, marketing strategy, social media management, and content development. 
What’s the one thing your business is known for, over your competitors and why?
Comsint is a new kind of agency. Guided by the simple promise of providing clients with seasoned, world-class talent who deeply understand their business, our team of communications strategists is relentlessly focused on protecting our clients’ brands and driving business results. In fact, we built our business model based on interviews with more than 100 agency clients. From crisis communications to video production to full-stack marketing, Comsint brings the expertise of a global firm paired with the service and transparency of a boutique agency.
Tell us an interesting and fun tidbit about your business.
In today’s world, change is constant and complexity is ever-growing. Organizations need partners to provide senior counsel and data-driven solutions to protect their brands and drive business results. Comsint’s award-winning agency model was created to do just that. We bring the expertise of a global firm paired with the service and transparency of a boutique agency.
Why did you decide to become involved with the Chamber?
At Comsint, we strive to meet clients where they are and where we can provide the greatest positive impact. The Chamber provides our team an opportunity to understand the business environment holistically and to bring those learnings back to continually refine and improve our offerings.

Empowering Athletes LLC
75 Washington Street, Unit I
Pembroke, MA 02359

​Visit website

How and when did the company get started?
I started Empowering Athletes after spending six years touring with Broadway shows, including the Radio City Rockettes, Lord of the Dance, Burn the Floor, and Heart Beat of Home. Radio City closed their Rockettes’ touring cast in 2015 and it was time for me to start a new chapter. I began teaching at Dean College and did outreach at Dunleavy Boyle Academy of Irish Dance, South Shore Ballet Theatre, and South Shore Gymnastic Academy. Finally, in 2018, I opened up my own space and loved every minute of it!

What products or services do you offer?
Empowering Athletes offers one-on-one injury prevention, Injury evaluations, rehabilitation and sports specific training. Small group trainings focusing on sports specific needs for all athletes, including but not limited to, dancers, gymnasts, figure skaters and field players (soccer, lacrosse, etc.). We also offer group strength training and injury prevention classes for all levels and ages including adults. During individual treatment sessions, we may use modalities, including but not limited to, IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization), Cupping, Blood Flow Restriction Therapy, Electrical Stimulation, Ultrasound, Theragun vibration therapy, Myofascial and Muscle Energy work as well as Normatec which is a graduated compression system for recovery.

What’s the one thing your business is known for, over your competitors and why? 
My business is known for its individual attention to each and every client. I work with athletes at every stage in their careers and at every level of athleticism. The model behind Empowering Athletes is to be able to support you for all your needs as an athlete while teaching stretching, mobility and injury prevention techniques. Empowering Athletes does injury evaluations, injury rehabilitation and recovery, working with orthopedic doctors of Boston Children's Hospital and other healthcare providers.

Tell us an interesting and fun tidbit about your business.
Empowering Athletes trains and rehabilitates a large range of athletes from gymnasts, figure skaters and all forms of dancers to traditional sports such as basketball, soccer and lacrosse to equestrians (athletes who ride horses!) These athletes often find it difficult to find good sports specific treatment. I have worked not only with performing artists, but I spent two years working with D1 college athletes and have been a certified Athletic Trainer for over 15 years.

Why did you decide to become involved with the Chamber?
I am looking to network with other companies. I also want to get into the community more and see how I can help spread knowledge about youth and performing artist sports that are sometimes overlooked in traditional settings.

Did you miss one? You can hear their stories and get to know these women leaders through our YouTube channel (don't forget to subscribe!).
What are the challenges for women in leadership today? 
"We need to be careful that we are not inadvertently creating more roadblocks for more women. I think that is a unique challenge as we get into positions of power. We need to be careful not just to take on the persona of the status quo... women were expected to look like men and to act like men. You were successful if you did that and you rose through the ranks. But how crazy is that? If I look like the guy in power, dress like the guy in power and I do all the things like the guy in power, I must get power. I think it's easy to forget that that's a really bad thing. You need to show up as yourself. And if you can't, it's not the right company for you."
