About BML Public Relations (BMLPR): A full-service, award-winning PR + social media agency located 30 miles outside of New York City in Florham Park, NJ. Candidly, we do everything every other PR + social agency does, we just do it greater than the rest (we even built our logo around it)! As a full-service communications agency, we’ve repped 27 Fortune 500 brands. We operate in a fun, casual and collaborative environment, with a work hard, play hard philosophy. We love what we do and require our colleagues to bring the same passion to the office (virtually or in-person) every day. Our all-hands-on deck approach will allow you to do more as part of our team than at most agencies. You will have the opportunity to learn by doing, not by watching, daily.
