Castella Media Group is pleased to welcome Jay D. Schwartz and his firm, JDS PR, as a new client.
Four Decades in Entertainment PR
With more than four decades of experience in entertainment public relations and a firm operating under the JDS PR name since 1995, Jay has built a respected career rooted in strong industry relationships and a personal, hands-on approach. From his early work in Broadway productions to representing an extensive roster of well-known actors, musicians, and public figures, he has maintained a steady commitment to fairness and long-term client partnerships.
In an industry where PR firms churn through clients and turn over staff constantly, JDS PR has built its reputation on the opposite — keeping the same clients, returning their calls personally, and treating publicity work as a relationship rather than a transaction.
A Boutique Approach in a Big-Agency Industry
JDS PR is deliberately structured as a boutique firm. That means:
- Direct communication — clients work with Jay, not a junior account manager
- Month-to-month service model — no long-term contracts that lock clients in
- Personal attention — manageable client roster, not the assembly-line model of larger firms
- Industry relationships — built over 40+ years across Broadway, film, TV, and music
It’s the kind of PR firm that works for clients who want their publicist to actually know them — and who prefer hiring a person with a long track record over hiring a brand name.
JDS PR Services
JDS PR offers services including:
- Securing interviews with print, broadcast, and digital outlets
- Developing press kits that tell the client’s story compellingly
- Writing and distributing press releases for new projects, milestones, and announcements
- Coordinating photo shoots with the right photographers and outlets
- Managing ongoing media and interview requests so the client doesn’t have to
The firm combines this hands-on approach with a strong work ethic rooted in industry relationships.
What Castella Media Group Does for JDS PR
Castella Media Group is currently developing and maintaining the official website for JDS PR, supporting Jay as he continues to strengthen his digital presence. As a boutique PR company recognized for its direct communication style and month-to-month service model, JDS PR benefits from a clear, modern platform that reflects both its professionalism and relationship-driven philosophy.
“I’ve been in PR for over 40 years and I’ve worked with plenty of vendors. Castella Media Group is the rare one that gets the entertainment industry’s pace and discretion. They built and maintain the site so I can stay focused on the clients.”
