Firm has received more than 60 industry awards LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. – Miller Geer & Associates, Inc., a boutique public relations firm serving national clients, celebrates its 50 th anniversary this November 2025. The agency serves a variety of local, regional and national clients in health care, higher education, county and city government, logistics and transportation as well as animal welfare. Jay Geer, president of the eight-person agency, joined the agency in 1982 as an intern and subsequently purchased the firm from its founder, Nann Miller, in 1991. Nann Miller, APR, Fellow, started the agency in 1975 and created one of the first public relations agencies owned and operated by a woman in Los Angeles. In the agency’s early years, clients included real estate development, animal welfare and hospitality. The agency would become known as the creator of many special events, including spectaculars that lead to acknowledgment in the Guiness Book of Records. Those events included the “Big Picture,” the downtown Los Angeles celebration of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, the world’s largest ribbon cutting for Shoreline Village in Long Beach and the world’s largest Ice Cream Float for Knudson Ice Cream. “Our founder, Nann, knew that a great, larger than life idea that perfectly underscored the brand and carried news value would generate buzz,” says Geer. “Her ideation, creativity and execution of earned media public relations campaigns remain in the DNA of the firm today.” Agency vice-presidents James Chisum and Sandy Rodriguez started their careers as college interns with Miller Geer & Associates and now more than 15 years later serve in leadership roles. Founded in downtown Los Angeles, the firm relocated to Orange County in 1995 and is based in Los Alamitos. The firm has won more than 60 industry awards for campaigns and is noted for its media relations and crisis communications expertise.
