We offer funding for students with a passion for PR.

Studying public relations in college is an expensive endeavor, and we believe students shouldn’t have to struggle financially to earn a degree. To help, Axia Public Relations offers a $2,000 annual PR scholarship to invest in tomorrow's PR leaders and enhance the profession.

Past scholarship recipient William Careri said, “Once I was awarded the scholarship, doors opened for me that I could not have considered before.” 

Another recipient, Kyle Schachner, said, “I can’t express how fortunate I am to have started my career without having to worry about… college debt.” 

Jason Mudd, CEO and Managing Partner of Axia Public Relations, earned a Measurement Master certification. 

With this certification, Mudd is now an expert in measurable objectives, survey research, media analysis, data validation, web analytics, search engine optimization, integrated dashboards, and reporting communications results. Forbes named Mudd’s Axia as one of America’s best PR firms.

As a senior at Louisiana State University, Alannie Broussard accomplished many things during her time as a public relations student. She’s the student vice president of LSU’s Public Relations Student Society of America chapter and completed numerous PR internships. This includes helping the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank raise more than $5,000 via a social media campaign, 10 times more than the previous year’s amount.

And now, she’s the 2020-2021 recipient of the Axia Public Relations scholarship. 

PR campaign to help large organizations vaccinate thousands for COVID-19

Health Hero, the nation’s largest on-site mobile mass vaccinator, selected Axia Public Relations to share its vaccination capabilities with America’s largest preauthorized injection companies and largest employers to inoculate COVID-19 as quickly as possible.

As pharmaceutical companies continue to race to bring their COVID-19 vaccine to market, Health Hero is gearing up to administer the vaccine to as many government agencies, large employers, and preauthorized injectors as possible. It desired a strategic public relations partner to guide its communications and position the company as the leader for COVID-19 mass vaccination capabilities.

“What we’ve got to do is help people prioritize and realize that great PR, great marketing comes from a big idea.”

O’Dwyer’s PR Report featured Axia Public Relations’ CEO and Managing Partner Jason Mudd in its video series PR’s Top Pros Talk. Jason spoke about improving brainstorming sessions and adapting ideation sessions from an office environment to a remote one. 

Everyone has creativity in them, and not everyone knows how to unlock it. For some, creativity comes naturally. For others, it takes a while for it to emerge. And how, exactly, do you reach your full potential with creativity? And what about in the remote environment?

“We must be disrupting the industry if our PR laser-focused agency earned a spot among the top-ranking advertising agencies without offering paid media and advertising services,” said Jason Mudd, Axia’s CEO and managing partner.

Axia earned this achievement after Forbes recently named Axia as one of America’s best PR firms.
