Founded in 1996, Perry Communications Group (PCG) is a Sacramento-based communications agency led by Kassy Perry, built around healthcare communications, public affairs, and nonprofit advocacy campaigns for corporate and mission-driven clients.
Under Perry’s direction, the agency leads major initiatives in the entertainment, environmental, energy, and healthcare industries — with additional depth in mental health, ongoing care, public health, and senior living communities.
A force on her own and a shrewd strategic thinker, Perry stole the limelight by allowing her colonoscopy to be televised nationally — an attempt to raise awareness for colon cancer screening. By combining unconventional and proven approaches, Perry brings monumental attention to her clients’ causes.
For her work, Perry was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Sacramento Public Relations Association. She has earned more than 75 awards for her contribution to the PR and communications space. Notable recognitions include Capitol Weekly’s “100 Most Powerful Political Players in California” — five times in the past nine years — plus recognition from the California State Assembly and Senate.
Having served as broadcaster, state legislator, chief consultant for a legislative policy committee, and advisor to three California governors, Perry brings unique perspectives to PR and strategic communication. She serves on the boards of the San Joaquin Valley Health Care Foundation, Legacy Health Endowment, California’s Jack Russell Rescue, and Capitol Weekly.
