The Moore Agency

What The Moore Agency does

The Moore Agency (legal entity Moore, Inc.) is a privately held, women-owned integrated communications agency founded in 1993 and headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, with team members positioned nationwide. The firm operates a vertical-specialized service model across Public Affairs (Top 10 nationwide), Healthcare & Medical, Agriculture, Education, Workforce Development, and Environmental Services (Top 5 nationwide), supported by an 11-member Reputation, Issues & Crisis (RIC) team. Its client base spans large enterprises (Bristol Myers Squibb, Meta, BASF, Ford, PhRMA), state-level government and nonprofit organizations (Florida Chamber of Commerce, CareerSource Florida, Florida Sheriff's Association, Association of Florida Colleges), and specialized institutions (FL Specialty Hospitals for Children).

The agency's core technology stack is the Moore AI platform, which layers proprietary tools on top of human strategic work: SeeSparks™ for real-time trend detection, Strategic Intelligence Engine™ for strategy-process-technology integration, and AI Agents for content development, monitoring, and engagement, plus adjacent services like AI Readiness & Policy Development and Crisis Simulation & Risk Modeling. Additional proprietary IP includes Magenta Studio (a content customization tool launched October 2021) and the M.Cast™ Trends Report (annual predictive insights publication). Service offerings are organized into Creative Services, Integrated Media, Public Affairs, CRM & Loyalty, Crisis Communications, and Advisory Services.

Commercially, Moore operates a professional services model with quote-based engagements directed through direct sales and a dedicated VP of Client Development. The agency joins the Public Relations Global Network (PRGN), which extends delivery capacity to 50+ offices across six continents without organic international build-out. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; no external funding rounds have been raised, and the company remains founder-owned under Karen Moore (Founder & CEO) and Terrie Ard (President & CEO). Reported performance indicators — 98% client retention, multi-year analyst rankings, and the 2025 Ragan Zenith Agency of the Year award — frame a firm in an accelerating growth phase despite a deliberately small 11-50 employee footprint.
