OUR STORY

Staying True, Embracing Change

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. Our talented team remains highly dedicated to promoting clients’ brands, expertise and successes.

Yet so much has changed since we opened our doors in 1984. The evolution of technology and shifting media channels have completely transformed PR and marketing communications. Caryl Communications has responded accordingly, and we are leveraging new tools and opportunities every day to uphold and enhance the value of our service.

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.”
