PRESS COVERAGE / PRESS RELEASES

Adventures in shameless self promotion and being your own public relations specialist.

As a young performer, I quickly grew tired of working in dead-end productions. Still desperate for attention and eager to flex my creative muscles, I became my own producer and publicist. After years of obsessively devouring free trainings from marketing masters like Neil Patel, while juggling the promotion of multiple theater events, I can now claim to be a self-taught specialist in most things marketing.

When you don’t have much money, you learn to go hard on what’s called ā€œearned mediaā€ (press) as opposed to ā€œpaid mediaā€ (advertising). Whether earned through a thoughtful press release or wild media stunt, I have garnered a bunch of press exploits. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!


I’ve boiled down 15 years of Public Relations experience into a playful, 30 minute class on Skill Share. Use the button below to check it out. Please review and share with your friends. Thanks!
