Clemson Downs Selects JDPR as PR Agency-of-Record
June 3, 2014
GREENVILLE, SC — Clemson Downs, the only full-service retirement community in Clemson, South Carolina, has selected Greenville-based Jeff Dezen Public Relations (JDPR) as its PR Agency-of-Record. JDPR will consult on communications strategy with particular emphasis on brand development, media relations and social media programs.
Often referred to fondly as “The Downs,” Clemson Downs is renowned in South Carolina’s Upstate and beyond for providing a continuum of senior care that includes independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing care. The tree-lined community recently broke ground on a $9 million expansion that will add a skilled nursing facility with 16 private rooms and a 32 private room memory care unit, sometimes referred to as “Alzheimer’s or dementia care”— both first of their kind offerings in the Upstate market.
“The JDPR team will help guide us through this time of monumental growth within our community,” said Dr. John LeHeup, executive director of Clemson Downs. “We value JDPR’s ability to tell our story to seniors and their children who may be trying to find the ideal care facility for a parent. JDPR’s national-level reach and expertise in the digital sphere will be a true asset to us.”
Jeff Dezen, president and founder of JDPR said, “Clemson Downs is such an important resource for seniors and their families in the Town of Clemson, which Forbes has named a top place to retire nationally[1]. The tiered levels of care offered at Clemson Downs foster an atmosphere of togetherness and unity among family members who need varying degrees of care, and my team is eager to tell this story.”
