R&J Strategic Communications has welcomed a new account coordinator to its real estate practice area, the Bridgewater-based firm announced.

In his new role, Steven Jerkovich is responsible for supporting, developing and executing marketing plans for several of the agency’s real estate and financial services clients. He comes to R&J after serving as a property manager with Fort Lee-based Mack Management & Construction Corp., where he managed warehouses and distribution centers in northeastern New Jersey, serving as the point of contact among the company’s vice president of real estate, tenants and all necessary officials.
“Steven’s prior experience in real estate property management and marketing make him a great addition to our commercial real estate team,” said Scott Marioni, president of R&J Strategic Communications. “Steven brings firsthand industry knowledge and experience along with a new and fresh perspective to the team. We’re confident he’ll play a major role in helping our clients and the agency continue to thrive.”
R&J has served the real estate industry for nearly 35 years. It was recently featured as one of Mid Atlantic Real Estate Journal’s Best PR and Communications Firms and named to GlobeSt Real Estate Forum’s Influencers in Marketing and Communications list.
Jerkovich graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in public relations and recently earned a master’s in public communications from Drexel University.
