Top executives from Broadway press agency O&M Co. have joined DKC to create DKC/O&M, billed as “the first national Broadway and Live Events public relations agency.”

Rick Miramontez, O&M Co. theater press agent and its sole principal, will join the company, along with O&M's creative director Andy Snyder and theatrical division VP Molly Barnett, as well as other key staffers.

DKC/O&M will be integrated into DKC’s national entertainment practice, and will operate out of the agency's New York office, with access to regional offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Miami. The new events division will also offer its expertise to DKC’s event production team. It will report to DKC executive VP and entertainment director Joe Quenqua, who came to DKC in 2013 from Walt Disney Studios.

Referring to the new division as a “major transformational move,” DKC’s forays into Broadway PR give the full-service agency a unique foothold while allowing its existing entertainment practice — which includes clients at studios, production companies, networks, media tech companies, and music labels — to provide a new armory of services.

“This opportunity will allow us to provide our clients with all the resources of a leading, beautifully-run national agency, while still allowing us to maintain the quirky, boutique spirit we’ve built our reputation on,” Miramontez said in a statement.

O&M’s client roster of Broadway productions includes “Eclipsed,” “Beautiful-The Carole King Musical,” “Hand to God,” upcoming show “School of Rock,” and others. The agency has the distinction of representing the last three Tony award winners for Best Musical: “Fun Home,” “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder,” and “Kinky Boots.” The agency made headlines in 2011 when it came to the aid of troubled musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.”
