MPA Strategies, a statewide public relations firm, has opened a new office at 2025 State Street in the City of Cayce. The firm, founded in 2011, offers clients a wide range of services, including strategic digital marketing, association management, media relations, project funding and procurement, grant writing, crisis management as well as website and social media management.

“Even during a pandemic, seeing the success of the businesses locating in the Cayce River Arts District; as well as the collaborative, creative efforts between the City, the amazing artists and the businesses drew me in. This is exactly where we wanted to be,” stated MPA’s Chief Executive Officer, Ashley Hunter.

While the firm has staff, partners and clients located across South Carolina, moving their headquarters from Columbia to Cayce made sense.

Hunter explained, “The setting is beautiful and historic, yet industrial and eclectic. We are located next to a coffee shop, an art gallery, the largest brewery in the Midlands and the Cayce Riverwalk. Frankly, the cost of doing business is lower in Cayce and the location is convenient for all of our clients given the proximity to three major highway systems, the Airport, USC and the Statehouse.”

Some of the other Cayce River Arts District businesses include: Swatch Graphics, Sharpe Creations, State of the Art Gallery, Piecewise Coffee, Steel Hands Brewing, Greener Habitats, Inc, the Cayce Artists Guild, Dialed Bicycle Repair & Service, Southern Essence Distilling and Henry’s Restaurant & Bar.

Art by local Cayce artists will be displayed throughout the new MPA Strategies space.

MPA will announce the plans for their ten year anniversary and the launch of their newest venture in the Spring.
