  I joined M. Silver Associates in April 2012, and it later merged with Finn Partners, to become one of the largest public relations firms in the country. This evolution has allowed me to work within two completely different agency settings-a small boutique agency and a larger, multi-faceted agency. I was on the team that successfully launched the opening of the brand new Hyatt Times Square hotel, with an additional focus on its diner and rooftop bar, which secured feature and round-up stories in top outlets such as The New York Times, The New York Post, Conde Nast Traveler, The Daily Meal and About.com, amongst many others. I also worked on creating and implementing two international tourism campaigns for Turkey, which have played a vital role in educating the North American market about the country and in driving international travel there; tourism in Turkey has increased by about 13 percent, and Istanbul was recently listed by TripAdvisor as the world’s top destination. My other responsibilities included: - Fostered valuable relationships with journalists from top-tier outlets such as Forbes, CNN, Manhattan Magazine, Travel + Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler, The Daily Meal, Hotels, Hotel Management, Meetings Focus, and Corporate & Incentive Travel - Maintained social media presence of clients through strategic postings about news, recent coverage or events - Coordinated press visits to client hotels and restaurants - Assisted with coordination of press events - Researched trends and topics for targeted media pitching opportunities - Developed and edited content for client print and online marketing/press materials - Updated and maintained client press kits and image libraries - Wrote press releases and pitches - Conducted daily media monitoring - Compiled targeted media lists - Prepared monthly media coverage reports and quarterly PR activity reports Show less
