Our Story
In 1994, an idealistic young post-graduate set out with a simple belief that she could make a difference in her community and help build a better world. More than 30 years later, that vision lives on as Arellano Associates. Watch our short film on the beginnings of Arellano, told by founder Genoveva L.

AI statement
Technology and innovation have always been at the forefront of Arellano Associates. Leveraging digital tools to help our clients communicate more clearly, reach underserved communities, and enhance project delivery.
AI isn’t a trend; it’s a revolutionary pivot in the marketplace that will influence how we create, connect, and communicate. We are integrating AI carefully and deliberately into our workflows. Our aim is to provide our clients with the most premiere services possible and AI is helping us enhance efficiency, spark creativity, and elevate the human connection at the core of public engagement.
We are committed to being thought leaders and helping our clients navigate AI for better service to our communities. Our responsible use of AI is guided by three principles:
Our clients and communities deserve to know how AI supports our work.
We use AI in ways that respect privacy, reduce bias, and protect public trust.
AI is a tool to enhance communication, not a shortcut. People remain at the center of everything we do.
