As a show host, my passion was to discover and highlight local people, businesses, and non-profits to help them get the publicity they deserved. As the Contact 6 problem-solving reporter for nearly 18 years, I managed the team interacting with thousands of viewers who felt they had been wronged by a company or organization. As a negotiator, I was in constant communication with large corporations, community leaders, and state agencies.While I'm honored we won many awards, including a regional Emmy, my greatest accomplishment was helping viewers get back nearly $2 million dollars.It was an honor to be continually promoted at FOX 6 because of my ability to clearly communicate and connect with viewers and colleagues to produce and write exceptional shows, stories, and commercials.What we were able to accomplish shows your brand is built from the inside out. You have to have internal buy-in before you'll create external buzz.Now as a professional speaker and public relations consultant, I share so much of what I learned about finding unique stories to define your brand. Stories that will be irresistible to the media and ultimately help you reach your audience and your goals.katrina.cravy@katrinacravy.com(262) 229-1555
