Public Relations/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer questions about doing public relations and marketing for business-to-business, technology-based companies including software firms, small business, and start-ups. These questions can range on anything from media relations to online mrketing for high-tech firms. I also can answer questions on public relations and marketing for business-to-business industrial clients and small businesses.
Experience in the area
I have more than 25 years of public relations, marketing, and marketing communications in the business-to-business arena. In addition to working for one of New England's oldest and most respected B2B marketing communications firms, I also was a partner in a Rhode Island public relations firm, working with clients both domestically and globally. I am the founder of Perfect Pages.
Publications
Most of my writing appears under my clients names. However, I did write a series of articles for BPMEnterprise.com under my own name. And I've written several whitepapers for VendorGuru on VoIP that will be coming out shortly.
Education/Credentials
I have a BA in English from the University of Rhode Island, a BS in Communications from Rhode Island, and an MBA from Providence College, with a specialization in marketing.
