Getting Creative to Help JPR Expand Their Office Spaces

J Public Relations (JPR) is a global creative communications firm specializing in public relations, social media, and content creation. Double-digit growth over a 15-year period prompted the company to expand its presence with buildouts of new offices in New York City and San Diego. To keep pace with their expansion goals and allocate their resources accordingly, the company sought to finance upscale, trendy furniture and office equipment for these new spaces.

To keep up with their rapid growth, JPR sought to finance upscale, trendy furniture and office equipment for their new spaces.

“Out of all the stress that can go into expanding an office, this is the one thing that I felt super confident in."

– Lindsay Head, CFO, JPR

Financing From First American Adds Touches to Buildouts

For the office buildouts, JPR reached out to their City National Bank relationship manager to discuss their needs. When JPR asked about options for financing, City National® brought in their subsidiary, First American, which proposed a fixed purchase lease to cover furniture, desks, and computers.

 

The most important part to JPR about working with any financial provider is the relationship and after getting to know their dedicated team at First American they felt confident in the proposed solution. First American made the process easy by consolidating the financing for multiple types of equipment into one monthly payment and assigning a dedicated Project Manager to coordinate funding and delivery with 20+ vendors. 

Streamlined Buildout Success Brings JPR's Vision to Life

With the help of First American, JPR has expanded into new locations and brought their vision alive with trendy and inspirational furnishings, while also keeping their cash position strong. Since the relationship began in 2016, First American has financed three office upgrade projects for JPR totaling $600,000.

"First American and City National Bank are personable, they really care, and they make everything about my job very simple."
