Public Relations / Communications

The fundamental mission of State Farm’s Public Affairs Department is to manage relationships and create, develop, and communicate messages in a way that advances State Farm's brand and reputation and drives business results.  The department is comprised of the following five areas:

Business Technology Services
The technical support needs of the Public Affairs Department are handled by the Business Technology Services unit.  We help with hardware and software acquisition, installation and support for Corporate Public Affairs, and assist zone Public Affairs departments with the workstation application reporting and tracking. 

Community Alliances
Being a Good Neighbor is both a business and a social responsibility.  Through the products and services we offer, and through our involvement in and commitment to the communities where we live and do business, we are a Good Neighbor, in words and in deeds.  The focus of Community Alliances is to help create a healthy business environment through relationships that build safer, stronger and better educated communities.

Media Relations
The goal of the Media Relations team is to tell the State Farm ‘story’ so State Farm policyholders and the public understand our business and the value of our brand. We pride ourselves on building relationships with reporters so we can provide them with information and timely news about State Farm and the insurance industry.

PR/Marketing
The PR/Marketing arm of Public Affairs works closely with the Media Relations team, Community Alliances and the Marketing Department, securing positive earned media for State Farm.  We help build the State Farm brand and drive sales by getting media interested in the many positive things we do.

Strategic Communications
This area of Public Affairs provides communication consulting, strategy, online and print communications, as well as speech support. Through collaboration with other communication efforts throughout the Company, Strategic Communications informs, educates and motivates employees and agents.

Public Affairs Representative
In addition to the Public Affairs Department at our Corporate office, we also have Public Affairs Representatives in many of our local offices around the country.  A Public Affairs Representative typically provides assistance with local public relations efforts and may also have responsibility for project and program implementation in one or more of these areas:  Legislation/Politics, Community Relations/Education and Safety, Media/Communications.
