ABS Communications

Founded in 2020 by Audrey Smith, ABS Communications emerged from a desire to offer a more thoughtful, hands-on approach to public relations. Smith brought over a decade of experience from agency, tech start-up, and higher education environments, where she observed that many clients needed more than just press releases—they needed a partner who could help them articulate their story with clarity and purpose. Based in Raleigh, United States, ABS Communications was built on the premise that effective communication starts with understanding, not templates.

For businesses in Raleigh and beyond, this means a PR firm that prioritizes listening over pitching, and strategy over volume. The agency’s focus on content strategy and communications strategy reflects a dedication to building narratives that resonate with target audiences rather than chasing fleeting media hits.
