PR on the Go!
Whether you’re a sole proprietor, a non-profit organization, or a for-profit company, most businesses need PR occasionally or regularly to announce latest events and get media coverage.
With experience getting stories placed in local and national publications as well as television, Melanie Rubin is available as your PR Director On the Go!
Melanie Rubin was incredible to work with and was able to place major articles in the two biggest Albuquerque newspapers the week of 2017 Indigenous Comic Con. This exposure absolutely helped increase the number of local people joining us for our Convention and highlighted the work of specific New Mexican Native artists, which was also good for their business. Melanie was able to get to the heart of what was important in her interviews with myself and one of our artists. She crafted and distributed a succinct and dynamic press release with photos to make it easy for the media to generate interesting stories on our work. She also facilitated communications with reporters, which saved me time during the busy weeks leading up to the conference. Finally, she ensured that each media piece would be unique, which was better for the papers. I recommend her public relations and writing services.
