In the heart of Chicago, a national powerhouse PR firm is preparing for a milestone anniversary that’s as remarkable as its founder. Laura Orrico, a force to be reckoned with in the world of publicity and on screen within the esteemed SAG-AFTRA, transformed personal tragedy into success with the emergence of Laura Orrico Public Relations, LLC (LOPR), and commemorates eight years of excellence.
Founded amid the shadows of adversity, LOPR is a testament to its resilience and unwavering determination. Founder and President Laura Orrico’s journey, fueled by the memory of her late husband Ryan’s courageous battle with brain cancer, stands as a tribute to him on his birthday, April 4th, with her resilience, and an unyielding heart. Initially, Laura immersed herself in PR, lending her expertise exclusively to close friends within the entertainment sphere, a move prompted by her need to temporarily step back from her acting career to provide care for Ryan.
Following his passing, PR became Laura’s sanctuary, igniting an undeniable passion within her as she navigated the delicate balance between grieving widow and career woman. Relocating from the glitz of Los Angeles, a city she frequently visits, to Chicago, LOPR’s trajectory remained steady, evolving into a nationally recognized, boutique firm. With Laura and her steadfast assistant, LOPR’s client roster flourished, attracting industry luminaries alongside emerging talents seeking their moment in the limelight.
Laura’s dedication to her clients is unmatched, with each success story woven into the fabric of the firm’s remarkable journey. Through eight years of perseverance and passion, LOPR has become synonymous with success and prosperity. Each client’s journey, from unfamiliarity to prominence, mirrors Laura’s own path to greatness. As the anniversary approaches, LOPR shines brighter than ever, a testament to the indomitable spirit of its founder and the transformative power of perseverance. A resilience that knows no bounds.
Laura continues her career as an actress, juggling exciting roles and auditions while balancing the responsibilities of leading a renowned PR firm and now, back in the role of caregiving, this time for her mother, who battles both Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s. Laura credits her beloved husband Ryan for inspiring her to persist in her passions, finding the strength to navigate the delicate balance between her professional and personal responsibilities. From a young girl performing Saturday Night Live-style skits in the backyard for her family, Laura has evolved into a woman striving to make a significant impact for herself and her clients.
Apart from her acting credits, including appearances on shows like Kevin Can Wait, King of Queens, and CSI: Miami, Laura’s prowess extends to her firm which has garnered acclaim in esteemed international publications such as GREY Journal, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Deadline Hollywood, USA Today, StarCentral Magazine, a regular feature on NTD News and various other media outlets. She has also received the prestigious Impresa Award for her work in acting and entrepreneurship, honoring resilient, independent, and inspirational Italian-American women in Chicago.
