public relations and marketing strategy
As business owners, we want to do it all. Especially in our first years in business, we’re the salesperson, accountant, janitor, administrative assistant, marketer and more. The problem is that we’re all uniquely qualified for our craft, but not every single job that comes with owning and managing a business. If you’re struggling with marketing and don’t understand public relations, I can help! I design and execute public relations and marketing plans that cover paid, owned and earned media. I can work with you on a short or long term basis depending on your needs. I’ll help you determine the right strategy to get your brand in front of media partners and influencers.
crisis communications planning and counsel
No one wants to experience a crisis. Unfortunately, almost every business and organization will have to work through a difficult situation at least once. It’s not in everyone’s nature to prepare for or manage a crisis situation, but it is in mine. I can help you plan ahead for potential crisis situations, prepare how to react, set up a communications command center, and train you to speak confidently with media and key partners. I can also serve as on-the-ground counsel, provide strategy and spokesperson services if a crisis were to strike. Having a crisis plan and practicing it with your team offers great peace of mind. I can help.
public relations, marketing and social media workshops
I love helping business owners who want to learn marketing, public relations and social media management. Not every business can or should hire a consultant, but everyone can benefit from training. My workshops are currently online and topics include: How to Create and Execute a Marketing Plan, Basics of Public Relations, Media Relations 101, Media Training for Business Owners and Executives, Building a Social Media Content Plan and Strategy, Communicating with Customers During a Crisis, and more. Workshops are perfect for associations such as community development organizations, convention and visitors’ bureaus and chambers of commerce to offer as member bonuses!
featured speaker
I love speaking on topics related to communications and women’s leadership. With nearly 20 years of experience in public relations and marketing, I enjoy sharing my expertise in media relations, crisis communications and community relations. I believe in the power of personal branding, especially for women, and speak about how to set yourself apart in a crowded space. I share about the importance of letting your personal brand change and flow as your priorities and career goals change. I also encourage bringing other women to the table if you’re fortunate to have a seat.
