MEDIA RELATIONS
I build relationships with media partners and find strategic media opportunities that make an impact.
Media Support for Leaders
Engaging with media, especially on camera, can be daunting. Even the most experienced, capable leaders need support.
I provide media preparation and communications support so senior leaders, executives and board members can get out of the weeds and focus on showing up on camera at their very best.
I support leaders in a variety of ways, including:
Interfacing with members of the media
Screening media inquiries for greatest ROI
Guiding video production and managing logistics
Writing scripts, speeches and talking points
The end result is shareable media content that educates, raises awareness, and drives your organization’s story forward. (Not to mention showcases your confident, compelling leadership to a wider audience.)
