What was your most notable project, deal or transaction in 2011?
My most notable project was putting on the first same sex marriage in New York when it became legal on July 24 at Viana Hotel and Spa in Westbury. This was a great achievement and I'm proud of it.
My greatest accomplishment was the success I have been able to achieve for Lifespire Inc a $100 million non-profit in NYC who felt my prices were too low and my team would not be able to effectively market them and promote. They had been using major PR firms in NYC and not getting results. When I had the opportunity to come back and do their website I did their PR for them at the same time at no extra charge and was rewarded with an annual agreement. Biggest is not always the best and attention from president on a daily basis is always there from me. Customer service is our motto.
My resolutions for 2012 are to continue to get my message out to major companies that they can pay less and get better value by going with a smaller but more focused PR company. I am working towards establishing an office in NYC at some point in 2012 where working with more professional executives are a pleasure.
