Jim Beasley Email and Phone Number

Simply put: I conduct media relations and public affairs. My specialty: crisis media relations.It has been my duty to inform the public about public health and environmentally sensitive situations, dangerous events, associated risks and actions to be taken to help avoid danger. I formerly served as the CDC's designated lead trainer for Crisis and Emergency Risk Communications in South Carolina.I am skilled in the National Incident Management System, National Response Plan and Joint Information System/Center operations --- putting those skills to use to protect the health of both people and the environment. It has been my responsibility to help people understand what is happening and how they can be part of a solution. My responsibilities have also included managing sizeable (> $1M) annual advertising budgets to disseminate messages helping millions of people understand and respond to potential risks.Additionally, my corporate communications experience involved proactive worldwide public and media relations exposure for my NYSE-traded employer; as well as marketing and publicity activities --- such as proactive media placements and media/analyst tours --- for my agency's clients. Through my growing background, education and experience, I have become a skilled counselor in media relations and publicity. For the record, I started my communications career with 20 years of broadcast experience. Therefore, I'm comfortable in front of cameras and microphones. I use those skills to counsel others in effective media relations.Specialties: Media RelationsCrisis and Emergency Risk Communications (per U.S. CDC)Media InterviewsMedia TrainingPublic SpeakingWriting for the ear as well as the eye
