About the agency
&co. pr is a Napa Valley boutique public relations firm led by founder and head of PR Jamie Tobin. The agency specializes in food, wine, wineries, restaurants, hotels, chefs and culinary experiences. Its approach emphasizes the people, preparation and craft behind a brand rather than only promoting the finished product, drawing on Tobin's family connection to cooking and her personal experience working with food and hospitality companies.
Tobin's official biography says she earned a journalism degree from the University of Missouri–Columbia, moved to San Francisco and worked in communications roles at large agencies, smaller firms and as an independent consultant before founding her Napa practice. Her career portfolio includes James Beard Foundation Taste America and Eat Drink SF, as well as food products, wineries, hotels, chef personalities, apps and other culinary ventures. The firm also develops marketing, positioning and earned-media strategy for industry clients.
The website publishes testimonials attributed to food and wine professionals and a roster encompassing both past and present work. These names and testimonials should not be described as all-active contracts. The source does not provide a clear exact founding year for &co. itself, so the biography avoids guessing one from Tobin's experience. Its geographic wine-country focus and founder's journalism and hospitality background distinguish the agency.
