We could not be successful without partners like Dan O’Connell. He is a PR pro who works endlessly to promote what he’s passionate about. We partnered on several very successful projects together.

Having communications support on the client’s side is key in our marketing success at AS+GG, particularly when launching a new project. It was a pleasure working with Dan O’Connell during the roll out of the new Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) in August 2018. He was a true partner and valuable mentor for me during the process. From crafting a message and determining social media assets to organizing press opportunities and a stellar launch party, Dan kept the marketing team on task, directing a myriad of tasks on a tight timeline and mirroring AS+GG’s marketing intents by drawing attention to the project through educating the public.

Dan has a unique ability to capture the energy, tone and aspiration of a project and shape it into impact. He makes it easy to tell a story, explain why it matters and get people to pay attention. He’s also just so EASY and fun to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Dan O’Connell on the Guide to Contemporary Chicago Architecture. For a heavily-illustrated complex project, he did the heavy lifting and made the work of bringing the book into print that much easier.
