I’m a strategic communication pro who brings years of experience as a journalist, PR agency partner – and, currently, independent consultant – to helping businesses and accomplished individuals position themselves for success. Here’s what I do to make that happen: ✦ Communication Strategy: I listen acutely, ask probing questions and guide top-level discussions to zero in on the “stories” clients need and want to tell – then who needs to “hear” them, and how. ✦ Exceptional Writing: Even in this digital age, good writing is an audience-moving difference maker. Whether it’s media story pitches and news releases, bylined guest columns, web content, speeches, blogs, social media posts, resumes or bios, my writing helps drive success.✦ Media Expertise: Over a career in journalism and PR consulting, I’ve come to really know how the media works – and how to work with them. I don’t just chase headlines; I win story placements that result in critical positioning and message delivery.✦ Services and Issues Focus: While accomplished across the full PR spectrum, my talents are particularly well suited to service businesses and organizations. I am adept at plugging them into, and developing thought leadership on, high-profile issues and trends, as well creating innovative, core mission-related public service programs. ✦ Personal PR Guidance: It’s not only companies that need PR. Increasingly, I am helping individual executives, consultants and professionals develop strategic communication plans, resumes and bios, and personal marketing portfolios. I develop web site content, create and place bylined media articles, engage professional speaking opportunities, and provide media/presentation coaching.
