Great teamwork, impeccable client focus, professional writing, skilled media relations and impressive results have distinguished Caryl Communications as one of New Jersey’s top public relations firms for four decades.

Leadership
Sandy Crisafulli
President, sandy@caryl.com
Following her career launch as journalist, Sandy Crisafulli joined Caryl Communications in 1992 and served as the company’s Vice President in the mid-1990s. She subsequently focused on account management, writing and media relations as a freelance contractor before her appointment to the company’s executive team as Chief Operating Officer in 2020. Sandy became Caryl Communications’ second owner in 2022 following the retirement of Founder Caryl Bixon-Gordon.
“Not everyone has the advantage of learning the PR business from one of the industry’s best, and it’s certainly a rare chance – 30 years later – to be given the opportunity to continue that mentor’s legacy. I am incredibly grateful for Caryl’s influence, and so appreciative of the outstanding clients and talented team that are carrying the company into the future.”
Testimonials
We take great pride in our clients and their successes. Here’s what they have to say about us!
Our marketing department has worked with Caryl Communications for more than 25 years, so the team there truly knows our business and culture; they understand the “Levin Way” and all that we want to achieve. As PR and communication specialists, they really are an extension of our in-house team – it’s a special relationship.
Caryl Communications is our go-to PR agency for projects in northern New Jersey, including planning and publicity for high-profile grand openings and other events. Time and again, I have been impressed with the Caryl team’s professionalism, responsiveness and creativity – and the results they achieve.
Since IBS’s earliest days, we have relied on Caryl Communications as our public relations and marketing partner. They are experts when it comes to anticipating our communication needs and conveying our company’s unique story. That’s not always an easy lift, as our software products and support services are complex and very industry-specific. They do a great job making our ‘news’ accessible and interesting to a broad audience.
I have been working with the Caryl Communications team for 15 years. They are creative, proactive and trusted partners.
