For over three decades, businesses and nonprofits in Northern Arizona have relied on advertising strategies to effectively reach their target audiences.

Public Relations and Community Engagement
Building strong community ties is crucial for any business. Helken & Horn’s public relations efforts are designed to help businesses connect with their community and foster lasting relationships.
Through strategic PR campaigns and community engagement initiatives, they enhance the public image of their clients, positioning them as integral parts of the Northern Arizona community.
Their approach not only improves brand perception but also builds trust and loyalty among stakeholders.
Press releases, event coverage, and media outreach for businesses that need to land in regional press. Whether the story is a Yavapai County Contractors Association partnership announcement or an event at Sharlot Hall Museum, the work is the same: package what’s newsworthy so local outlets pick it up cleanly with more than 30 years in the regional market, the agency has built the relationships that make a press release stick instead of vanish. The work covers press kit assembly, spokesperson prep, event-day coverage, and the follow-up calls editors expect.
Ad Campaigns
Print, TV, radio, and digital advertising that work together as a single campaign — not four separate tactics. For instance, a 30-second TV spot will run alongside the print ad in local publications, and radio script will be the same message; the spots reinforce each other and reach the same customer in three places. For more than 30 years of running this kind of integrated work for Northern Arizona businesses means the buying schedules, rate card quirks, and creative handoffs are second nature. Most clients come to us when their split-vendor work has stopped feeling like one campaign and they need it back.
Brand Development
Brand identity work for businesses that have outgrown the version they started with.
Brand development isn’t about a logo refresh in isolation; it’s about every place the business shows up looking like the same business. Three decades of doing this for the Prescott area and Yavapai County anchor businesses and taking a strategic approach to brand development means the agency knows when to evolve a brand and when to leave well enough alone.
Branding
Visual identity systems — logo, color palette, typography, brand voice — built for businesses that need to look like themselves across every channel. A brand like Blind Brothers Arizona has to read the same on a Quad Cities billboard, a Yavapai County trade show booth, and a digital banner ad; the system has to be built for that from the start, not retrofitted later. Logo design is the visible part; the more important work is the rules underneath — what the brand says, how it says it, what it never says — so a marketing intern or a print vendor can produce on-brand work without checking.
Thirty-one years in the regional market means the agency has a working list of which color combinations age well in Prescott light and which don’t.
