Hello, CORI + Risi Team.

Here are a few project examples that show how I can assist CORI + RISI in its continued growth and success. 

Strategic Communications & PR

I am a seasoned Public Relations  and Marketing professional with a background heavy in  Cause Driven Campaigns, Sustainability and Emerging Technologies. 

After 12+ Years of both in-house and agency experience, I am looking for a new place to call HOME and put all of my passion towards.

Public + Media Relations

Throughout my career I have managed successful media relations campaigns for both target and mainstream media. Each campaign is targeted for specific company goals and KPIs, much more than just run-of-the-mill outreach.

Operational Management

Alongside Public Relations, I also have experience in developing operating procedures and processes to ensure a healthy workflow for internal communication teams. By inviting me to your team, I will ensure we operate as a well-oiled machine.

Thought Leadership

All effective communications campaigns include thought leadership. I have experience in drafting technical speaking abstracts, award nominations as well as ghostwriting pieces for top-level executives. All of which can be further leveraged in future marketing and campaigns.

Digital Advertising

Whether it’s social media or other online advertising, I have you covered. I have successfully managed growth marketing strategies for numerous companies in various industries.

Social Media Management

While numbers and growth matter – so does your branding. As social media plays so heavily into PR, I also have extensive experience in this field. I often utilize social media as a way to continue rapport with media professionals and influencers.

Content Marketing

Good content – blogs, videos, abstracts, white papers and more – can be utilized in numerous capacities. They can be used in digital marketing funnels, social media posts as well as used during a PR push. This is another area I’m proud to have worked in.

About Me.

 

 

I began my career with Sony Global, assisting in thought leadership, public relations and digital branding.

In 2014, I joined a notable PR firm focused on clean technology. Throughout my time there, I had the pleasure of working with clients in sectors such as fleet electrification, solar and storage, consumer EV tech and utility software solutions. My work with these clients surpassed general media relations and also touched on thought leadership, technical writing and digital marketing management.

My clients during this time included companies such as AMPLY Power, Axiom Exergy, PXiSE Energy Solutions, energyOrbit, OutBack Power and more. Through these efforts, I also managed outreach for partner campaigns that included Honda Motor Co., Whole Foods, The State of Delaware, The State of New York and others.

As a long-tenured member of the team, I also assisted the agency in it’s project management, and development of its standard operating procedures. As a consultant, I would later take this knack for process creation to other agencies and in-house teams to aid in impactful marketing and PR flows.

In 2020, I joined Bankers Healthcare Group to assist in forming an in-house communications team, managing communications for not only Bankers Healthcare Group but their various subsidiary companies as well. I would later play a pivotal role in their rebrand to BHG Financial, which also contained massive positioning changes as the company was branching out beyond healthcare. My responsibilities included internal and external communications, as well as thought leadership, PR, and social media.

How I’m a Fit for CORI + RISI.

One of my favorite things about my time in sustainability was that every project had a distinctive social-good element. Our philosophy as an agency was to ensure that our client’s technology wasn’t only being used in affluent areas. Therefore, a large portion of our work was managing campaigns that had clean energy and sustainable technology installed and introduced to rural and low income areas. 

This was seen in projects with AMPLY Power (now BP Fleets) who introduced their electric fleet vehicles throughout rural New York and Hawaii, Enersys who introduced microgrid storage batteries throughout the Australian bush, and enel X who took part in Brooklyn’s Micorgrid project, which helped to provide affordable energy to low income areas. 

This passion of ensuring innovative technology was delivered to rural spaces, seems to be in perfect alignment with your mission. 

From a technical standpoint, I have over a decade of experience in managing integrated campaigns that bring together earned media, paid media, social media, thought leadership and more. Similarly, I have extensive experience in project management and process development which will allow our communications team to grow, and create an “always-on” cycle, that will free up room for creativity and campaigns.
