Where strategy finds its rhythm and creativity hits the right note.

Some stories are meant to be amplified. Others need a trusted partner behind the scenes to help shape the message, refine the details, and keep everything in tune. Either way, Off the Record, LLC (OTR) is here to help.

Founded by seasoned communications professional Molly Gillespie, OTR blends strategy, creativity, and thoughtful insight to help organizations, campaigns, and small businesses communicate with clarity and confidence. With more than a decade of experience leading communications, branding, engagement, and media relations for dynamic public-sector organizations, Molly offers a Swiss-army-knife skillset and approaches every project in a thoughtful and versatile manner that aligns with your goals.

The name “Off the Record” is inspired by Molly’s work as a spokesperson with the media — where trust, honesty, and context matter — and by her love for live music, specifically the My Morning Jacket track that’s been the soundtrack to countless creative sparks. It’s a reminder that the best work often begins offstage, in the conversations where clients can be candid, open, and real.
