about me

Yes, there are still some men in public relations.

With experience in lifestyle, hospitality, education and non-profit
sectors, I pride myself on being able to study a client’s business,
determine its position in the market, and think of new ways to
enhance its image in the eyes of the public.

Past accounts I’ve worked on include the King of Prussia Mall, the
School District of Philadelphia, VISION 2020: Equality in Sight, Phillips
Seafood Restaurants and GoldOller Real Estate Investments.

Local publications I’ve placed stories in include The Philadelphia
Inquirer, Philadelphia Weekly, Philadelphia Magazine and Main Line
Today. Publications outside the Philadelphia area include AC Weekly,
The Baltimore Sun and niche/trade publications such as Curated
Magazine and Globe St.

I excel in the area of media relations – from building media lists and
pitching reporters, to getting placements for my client. Last but not
least, I’m very comfortable with social media, and have successfully
worked with the all-important mommy blogger demographic in the
past.

Included in this portfolio is an overview of my skill set, as well as select
media placements that I feel show what I’m capable of producing.
Writing samples, additional media placements and references are all
available upon request.

skills & capabilities



PRINT MEDIA
Newspapers, magazines, trade publications – I’ve worked with them all, and have
cultivated a network of contacts that I can call upon to get the word out fast. By
creating customized, targeted pitches tailored to each outlet, I’m proud to have a solid
track record of getting “ink” for all of my past clients.


TELEVISION
Broadcast media work with short lead times, and they demand that their pitches be
timely, relevant, and newsworthy. Far beyond emailing a media alert and hoping for the
best, I make a point to study each broadcast station, see what kind of stories they’re
working on, and tailor my pitch to grab the assignment editor’s attention.


BLOGS
Not all blogs are created equal. Some barely have any readers, while others might
demand handouts or other “pay-for-play” scenarios that can damage an agency’s
reputation. By using services such as QuantCast or Alexa, I can determine a blog’s
readership, determine whether or not it’s worth pitching, and garner the kind of quick,
media-rich placements that make clients smile.
skills & capabilities



COPYWRITING & EDITING
Press releases, media alerts, pitch letters and biographies are just some of the materials I’ve
written. In addition, I’ve helped draft “advertorials” as well as copy-edit existing documents
before they went to print. From stray typos that need correcting to summarizing information in
a clearer and more coherent matter, I’m always eager to start new writing projects.


COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
Analyzing one’s competition is a crucial and often under-utilized way to effectively market a
brand or product. From determining where a competitor is advertising and placing editorial
content, to monitoring how they’re using social media to grow audiences, I can provide
thorough and detailed reports to stay one step ahead of the competition.


MARKET RESEARCH
From growing existing consumer insights to gathering data for RFPs, I’ve conducted market
research for a variety of education, technology and lifestyle clients. By having the most accurate
and up-to-date data available, senior staff can create the best strategies for current or potential
clients.


NEW & SOCIAL MEDIA
There’s a lot more to new media than creating a Facebook or Twitter page and waiting for the
audiences to pour in. One must continuously provide content, interact with audiences and give
a compelling reason for people to keep visiting. Strategies to build and retain audiences include
creating special product promotions, sharing company news as well as encouraging visitors to
share their thoughts and opinions for a truly “social” experience.
