Welcome to Open Line

Open Line provides strategic and tactical support for corporate and project publicity, public relations, marketing and special promotions. We work primarily for the diverse disciplines of the real estate development industry—builders, developers, architectural and design firms and marketing consultants—and our skills and experience transfer to other professional fields.

In addition to content creation and media relations, we offer specialized services for awards program management, event planning and feature stories for client bylines. We maintain a strong regional presence in California and the Western states, and a national reputation within the building industry.

Open Line was established in 1986 by Rebecca Hardin, whose reportorial experience informs all initiatives. Whether for single commissions or long term collaboration, the firm’s expertise and professional commitment benefit all clients. Open Line is based in Santa Barbara, California.
