President

• Apr 2008 - Present

I provide strategic counsel and services to the firm's clients that enables them to effectively communicate (inform, motivate, change perception, enhance value, etc.) with audiences of importance. My specialties are media relations (traditional and social), crisis communications, and content creation, but, in reality, I'm a jack-of-many ("all" sounds so presumptuous) trades, effectively using a wide variety of tactics to advance agendas. Healthcare systems, nonprofit organizations, financial services firms, and celebrities seeking speaking engagements are part of my firm's current roster, but I'm happy to make strategic introductions and assist the efforts of those in my extended network, whether formally engaged or not.

Vice President

• 1999 - 2009

I was the firm's lead (and sometimes only) public relations person and point-of-contact for clients and media during a time of tremendous growth within the division. Hired at a time when "PR" at the agency meant writing a new-hire announcement if an advertising client requested, media relations campaigns created and implemented through my efforts resulted in goals being met for clients and consistent revenues for Ambit. During this time I also: - Led the PR portion of an effort to reach hard-to-enumerate communities that was recognized for its impact by the United States Census Bureau - Created and carried out strategies that enabled several clients to emerge from crisis situations with their businesses and reputations intact - Spearheaded outreach for nearly 100 retainer or project-based accounts, including nonprofit organizations, civic and government entities, retail companies, authors, individuals, and many others.
