Name: Ron Cohen Title: Chief Marketing Officer Company Name: Besen & Associates Inc. Q: The approximate number of years you have been a subscriber and/or how the NYREJ has been a benefit to you and/or your business: A: We have been subscribers and advertisers for probably about ten years now or so, and we greatly appreciate the exposure NYREJ has provided via both paid advertising and editorial. Beyond print, the online presence featuring our news has been helpful as part of our overall P.R. efforts. Kristine Wolf has been a huge supporter and one of our favorite media people! Q: The approximate year you discovered the NYREJ and what business you were in at the time: A: I first discovered NYREJ when I entered the business in 2003, and they ran a Q&A/profile that helped get my name out there. Q: Your most memorable or favorite "15 minutes of fame" in the NYREJ: A: The "Executive of The Month" piece that profiled Michael Besen and the company in the early days was excellent, also the coverage of the recent $53 million Pelham Parkway multifamily portfolio sale was beneficial to us.
