Beyond Fifteen Communications, Inc., a full-service public relations and digital marketing agency based in Orange County, Calif., closed out the first half of 2026 with significant momentum marked by new client partnerships, standout campaign results and the addition of seasoned communications leader, Mackenzie Martin, as senior client advisor.
The minority- and woman-owned marcom agency added several notable new clients to its national portfolio in the first half of the year, including CPS Products and TalentForce among others, further reinforcing its reputation for delivering integrated public relations, digital marketing, branding and demand generation solutions that drive measurable results.
"The first half of 2026 has been about building momentum with the right partners and delivering meaningful outcomes," said Leslie Licano, co-founder of Beyond Fifteen. "From scaling global visibility for established brands to helping emerging organizations build their identities from the ground up, our team continues to prove that strategic, integrated communications can be a direct path to meaningful business growth."
Beyond Fifteen's multi-year relationship with the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), the world's largest corrosion and materials protection association with more than 40,000 members and over 180 professional and student Chapters worldwide, continues to evolve, with the agency recently expanding into PR, video production and thought leadership on behalf of the organization.
When AMPP identified an urgent need to address the corrosion industry's workforce shortage and made the decision to launch TalentForce, a dedicated nonprofit to tackle it, they tapped Beyond Fifteen to build its new charitable brand from the ground up. With a hard deadline of 90 days ahead of TalentForce's public debut at AMPP's Annual Conference in Houston, the agency developed a complete messaging framework, website, video suite and digital presence — while simultaneously executing a full PR and awareness campaign leading up to the launch. The result: Six published articles within 45 days, placements in key industry publications including Pipeline & Gas Journal, Informed Infrastructure and Highways Today, and a combined estimated audience reach of more than 182 million impressions — establishing immediate credibility for a brand that didn't exist three months prior.
For CPS Products, Beyond Fifteen has been fully embedded since the start of the year, leading the company's full-funnel, omnichannel marketing strategy and execution. Since January 2026, those efforts have driven a 167% increase in social media followers, nearly one million total social engagements and more than 8.8 million impressions across digital channels. Website traffic from relevant, engaged audiences has grown 277%, while an average cross-channel return on ad spend of 5,114% demonstrates the campaign's ability to convert awareness into measurable business results.
To support continued growth, Beyond Fifteen recently announced the return of Mackenzie Martin as senior client advisor. Martin was previously with the agency from 2019 to 2021, earning recognition for her strategic thinking and ability to deliver earned media results, before going on to serve as a director at a mid-sized New York City-based agency where she led integrated communications strategies and managed high-performing teams.
"Mackenzie is truly a marcom powerhouse — equal parts strategic, creative and execution-focused," said Lauren Ellermeyer, co-founder of Beyond Fifteen. "When someone chooses to leave a director role at a New York City agency to come back to you, it means you've built something people want to come home to and that's incredibly rewarding as a leader. We're equally excited about what her return means for our clients as we head into this next phase of growth."
