Industry	Communications or Media
Occupation	Communications, Public Relations Consultant
Location	Sarasota and Tallahassee, Florida, United States
Introduction	Founder of Florida Media Strategies LLC, a strategic public relations and communications firm serving a diverse group of national and statewide clients. In a past life, I was a Pulitzer Prize finalist, newspaper reporter, editor, and political columnist. Today, I help clients create ways to tell their stories and engage constituencies in the marketplace of ideas and commerce. One client's needs might be met through publication of a quarterly magazine while another's might be as simple as a news conference or as complex as the creation and execution of a comprehensive social media strategy. Strategic communications today can utilize an almost dizzying array of media tools, technology and outreach techniques. The essential thing is to know which to use and when.
