What we do

Blue Medium is a New York–based public relations company serving the visual arts, architecture, and design communities. Over the past 20 years, we’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the best, like-minded clients in the world.

The right skill sets, the right teams and our unique media relationships allow us to provide a values-driven approach in results-oriented campaigns. Our clients range from museums, foundations, festivals, and galleries to architecture and design studios to educators and commercial enterprises.

How we got here

Founded in 2000 by John Melick, Blue Medium has earned a reputation for professionalism, fair-mindedness, and clear-cut procedures and protocols. In turn, we attract team members and clients who value the same principles.

Crucial to our success is our relationship with the media. We have always strived to treat our media colleagues as autonomous, independent voices, and we value the coverage and critical thinking they bring to our communities and clients.
