Ronald Trahan Associates, Inc.

Founded in 1992, Ronald Trahan Associates (RTA) Inc. specializes in building media and investor relationships for big and small companies, both public and private. The firm was founded to provide experienced counsel in a timely fashion while garnering the right kind of attention for clients, all at an affordable price. Headquartered just outside of Boston, RTA serves companies in the Biotechnology, Medical Technology, and Pharmaceutical sectors. From English teacher to journalist, author to public relations counselor, Ron Trahan has been a professional communicator for nearly four decades. Counseling clients at the highest corporate level (CEO, CFO and VP/Marketing), Ron has developed expertise and experience in strategic communications planning, writing for publication, media relations, investor relations, crisis communication, speech writing and presentation coaching.

Before founding his own firm in December 1992, Ron spent five years as senior vice president at Boston-based Sharon Merrill Associates, Inc. (SMA), where he played a major role in evolving that financial public relations agency into one of the dominant corporate communications resources for New England-based companies. Prior to SMA, Ron was director of public relations at a fast-growing Boston-based advertising agency that was turning away public relations business from its ad clients because the agency had no in-house PR expertise. Ron was recruited by the ad agency to develop strategies and PR programs as a one-person department for the ad agency’s clients.
