Mary Ann Sabo President Sabo PR $0-$1.49 MILLION
W
hen Mary Ann Sabo began her second career, she started from the top — on her own, in an office in her attic, with a handful of clients. Now 14 years later, Sabo PR boasts a ledger of 45 clients, a staff of seven and a large, loft-style office space, complete with photo studio. “We have achieved excellent growth while managing to maintain a stellar relationship, both with the media and with our clients, in an industry that often struggles for respect,” Sabo said. The Sabo PR clientele list includes clients from a variety of industries, including professional services, health care, municipal, education and nonprofits. In some cases, work is provided to those nonprofits on a pro bono or reduced rate, Sabo’s way of
giving back to the community. In addition to her entrepreneurship, Sabo also serves as president of the Legacy Trust Award Collection, which hosts annual arts competitions for adults with disabilities. Previously, she’s served on the board of the GVSU Business Ethics Committee, Grandville Avenue Arts & Humanities Inc., and Deaf & Hard of Hearing Services, formerly Deaf Inc. A graduate of the University of Tennessee at Martin, Sabo also has her master’s in English from Ohio State University. She previously has worked as an awardwinning reporter with The Grand Rapids Press and a partner at Lambert, Edwards & Associates. She was previously honored as a Top Women Owned Businesses finalist in 2015.
