| Introduction | Recently retired after 50 years in advertising, marketing, pr, research with 150 companies and institutions-- small, medium, large in every field, and local, national international. Great experiences, a few not so great. <-> Journalism degreed, 12 years ad/pr with NYSE-listed global manufacturer, 2 with large advertising/pr firm and CEO of small advertising/pr agency for 36 years. Paying back is important to me; I’ve helped pro bono 40 non-profits with pr and fund- raising and doing same in retirement. <-> My bottom-line: share ideas, mentor those who ask, pass the torch and enjoy a laugh or two. |
