O’Keeffe & Company Celebrates 14-Year Anniversary
One of the leaders in full-service marketing celebrated 14 years Thursday

The tech community rejoiced as O’Keeffe & Company celebrated their 14th anniversary. The full service marketing company has been a leader in marketing services in the mid Atlantic region for the last decade.
What started as a home-based operation in Falls Church, has now grown to have offices in Atlanta, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, Providence, and Rochester.
“We’ve grown over the years from a one person household in Falls Church to today we’re at 80 people,” said Steve O’Keeffe, founder of O’Keeffe & Company. “When we have a party we want to have a party where everyone can advocate for it. For our 10 year anniversary we had Bo Derek, for our 11th year we had Buzz Aldrin and for our 12th we had Joe Frazier. This year we wanted to switch it up a bit, since 7 is lucky and 14 is twice as lucky somebody here will win a Shelby Cobra.”

The Washington Business Journal named ranked them fifth amongst top earning public relations firms in the greater metropolitan area. They’ve represented Comcast, Adobe, and Cisco among other industry leading firms.
Recently, OKCO has been the marketing engine behind Transurban-Flour projects in and around Tysons Corner.
“The goal for any program is that we should be focused on outcomes,” said O’Keeffe. “Its all about working with where the market is going and finding the best approach for our clients.”
O’Keeffe’s journey from a one bedroom house in the City of Falls Church to one of the full service marketing industry leaders is impressive, if not inspiring and he hopes for many more to come.
