Public Relations; Publicist

Personal summary

I am responding with great interest to your ad. I am a publicist, with excellent contacts and a proven ability to pitch and place stories, plus the necessary skills to impress editors and producers within all media platforms. I am a seasoned public relations professional well versed in translating messages to the press and developing a well-rounded public relations campaign and have also had great success in event marketing and promotion. With many years of public relations experience, and an MBA in Marketing, I went out on my own after many years on the agency side. I have several clients, who are not for profit, food/hospitality, fashion, lifestyle, education, consumer product and health/wellness. One of my greatest assets is generating an original “hook” for a story and then selling the story to the media. I have been very successful in garnering top tier media in national outlets like Forbes, Women’s Wear Daily.com, PureWow, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Urban Daddy.com, Refinery 29, Redbook, Oprah.com, Modern Bride, Seventeen, Small Business Trends, Today Show, Good Morning America, The Talk, and podcasts like Green Connections Radio and more. Before going out on my own, I was the Director of Media Relations WAA, an investor relations agency, before that a publicist in house at Sci Fi Channel and prior to that, an Account Executive at R. C. Auletta managing the Perdue Farms account including all promotions, events, spokesperson tours and general pitching. Please see my top tier placements at www.suebolenpublicity.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Sue Bolen Education: Masters in Business
