AUGUST 26, 2025, MICHIGAN CITY, INDIANA: South Shore Public Relations is thrilled to announce that it has solidified its roots in Michigan City with a ribbon-cutting ceremony last Thursday. The firm, a disruptor in the Northwest Indiana marketing industry, is the first and only woman-owned public relations and integrated marketing firm in Michigan City, Indiana. The celebration took place on Thursday, August 21st, in partnership with the Michigan City Chamber of Commerce.

“It’s exciting to see South Shore Public Relations celebrate its presence in Michigan City. As a Chamber board member, owner Jackie Thomas leads by example. She’s investing locally and helping strengthen the business community,” said Kurt Gillins, President of the Michigan City Chamber of Commerce. This exciting event celebrated South Shore Public Relations’ newest location in Michigan City. The firm is a fast-growing presence in the Northwest Indiana marketing industry, living up to its promise of telling a client's story before someone tells it for them. Its PR-first approach sets the firm apart from other agencies, offering clients an intersection between Integrated Marketing and Public Relations.

Owner Jackie Thomas has been working in the industry for over 20 years, but thoughtfully decided to put down roots in the heart of Michigan City's development. Thomas has a deep connection to the community, serving on the board of the Michigan City Chamber of Commerce and Dunebrook, and volunteering at local nonprofits. Her thought leadership led her to establish South Shore PR, a solution for local businesses and non-profits looking to build a stronger presence. The firm frequently undertakes pro bono work to support and enhance the entire community.

“South Shore Public Relations continues to grow due to the support of our community. We could not be happier to be a key partner in the growth of Michigan City. From volunteering our time as a company to donating our work to nonprofits, we believe in giving back. When small businesses and nonprofits thrive, our entire community thrives, and this is what drives our mission as a firm every day.” Jackie Thomas, President of South Shore Public Relations, said about the event. The business community, chamber members, clients, and friends alike helped welcome the leading Public Relations Firm in Northwest Indiana and cut the ribbon at their new location.
