Taking my experience at a fast-paced agency and coupling that with my time as an in-house staffer, I worked with clients in all industries and growth stages to create content strategy, media relations plans, executive influencer relations programs and lead-driving collateral material.

In addition to the responsibilities I managed as Assistant Account Executive, I also managed client content programs, fostered influencer relations, designed and executed media plans, assisted in analyst relations outreach, and drove creative ways to increase the profile of our portfolio of funded, high-growth B2B start-up clients.

Drawing on my experience as in-house PR staff in both B2B and B2C settings, I wrote client collateral, designed communication plans, conceived and executed social media initiatives, pitched to relevant press, and initiated new exposure opportunities for Ubiquity's primarily technology-based clients.
