ABOUT PUBLICITY YOU

“After many years living in Hollywood, working in publicity and helping brands large and small succeed in their marketing I have learned a really great solid proprietary formula of how to bring businesses of all sizes into the winner’s circle. I did all of that while turning my company into an award-winning boutique PR & marketing agency.

During that time many individuals approached me for help but I wasn’t able to do it one on one. Because of that I was driven to create a place where people could learn the basic tenets of good publicity and marketing. I have started the Publicity You academy so that people can educate themselves while they are living their busy lives, and do it in their own time and on their own schedule. I want to bring them in the winner’s circle too.

Specifically with Fresh After Forty I have watched so many talented people with so much to offer over 40 either give up or sit on the sidelines because they didn’t grow up in the ‘selfie generation’. They didn’t understand the technological changes in the modern business world and many of them couldn’t see how they could fit in and thrive. But they can fit in, and their experience and mastery is much needed, so I’m here to show them how to succeed with confidence.”
