North Shore Communications Group, Inc. was founded by Barry O’Brien in 2000.

North Shore Communications Group, Inc. evolved from Media For Business (1998 – 2000), which grew out of Stable Communications (1986 – 1998), which was the expansion of Audio Visual Services (1977 – 1986). In essence, it’s been one, long evolution of successful communication companies evolving with ever-changing technologies and services to help clients employ media to communicate more effectively.

Barry O'Brien has extensive experience in reviewing, defining and managing communications strategies for corporate clients. He has been the director of a corporate communications department. He has managed large-scale communications projects. He is recognized for his “can-do” philosophy, creative problem solving and the ability to explain complex technologies simply.  He has provided communication tools for companies in retail, medical, pharmaceutical, financial services, high-tech, construction, health care, manufacturing, and defense.

Barry O’Brien received a Bachelor in Science in Film & Television Production and a Masters in Science, Cum Laude, in Instructional Technology from Rochester Institute of Technology.

Barry began his career as media specialist for the Drug Education Program for the State of Florida. At the completion of the ESEA Federal Development Grant, Barry became the Director of Communications for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, responsible for production of all company meetings and events, including sales, training and marketing. As Liberty Mutual was the leading provider of workman’s compensation insurance, the communications department also created a stream of environmental safety programs for many of the major corporate policyholders.

In 1977, Barry struck out on his own to found Audio Visual Services, an outsource for Boston-based corporations. In the intervening years, two other independent marketing and media businesses evolved from AVS to provide compelling presentations for sales meetings, satellite shows, product roll-outs, infomercials, retail displays, web sites, interactive media, and e-Learning systems. Barry has tracked the changes in the nature of communication from ballroom sales meetings to web-based communication.
