Welcome to Jerry’s blog
This blog site has been up only a short while however I thought it would be a quick resource for reporters and those interested in my professional work, so I will periodically update this with any new information that can be beneficial to all. First a little about me:
With more than seven years experience in strategic marketing communications and public relations for the technology, non-profit, healthcare and consumer fields, I have served as a senior account executive responsible for day-to-day account management and I am actively in touch with high-level editorial contacts at trades and members of the press. (Perhaps you are one of my contacts reading this, so I extend a thank you for keeping in touch with me)
I has secured national and international editorial coverage and provided members of top-tier media with unbiased opinions and interview subjects for print, trade and broadcast media. Some of the markets in which I have conducted media tours include many major US cities, as well as Israel, Croatia, Lithuania, Germany, Morocco, Indonesia and Poland, and Australia.
Through media interviews and conversations with company spokespeople, I value placements of key messages and thought leadership, which translate into successful customer-centric strategies.
I am currently a public relations/media relations specialist and have worked at organizations including Avalanche, Shandwick and long ago held a position with DWJ Television, where I booked video and audio news coverage (VNRs) with interviews via satellite (now done primarily via the Web)
I have managed accounts such as The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, Zalul – Association for Environmental and Preservation of the Red Sea, SELAH – Israel Crisis Management Center, Tekmark Global Solutions, Albridge Solutions, dotPhoto, Inc., Hear USA, and Nikon USA.
My current focus has been divided between clean & green-technology accounts, some health/science related and non-profit/public affairs work. Click on the link “expert/sources” for additional details.
Should you require additional information on any of these current organizations/companies, feel free to be in touch with me.
