Linda Ruck (Top Linkedin)’s Summary

Consummate & results driven PR professional with international experience. Track record running PR, media campaigns & events in APAC. Proven expertise in brand building & increasing client's market visibility in preparation for expansion, franchising or buyout.

Extensive business & media network. Previous PR consultant to Marriott Group & Govt experience dealing with high levels contacts.

Background: Resigned from the Aust Govt to move to Vietnam. Volunteered in children's charities earning funds as an international writer on human interest & conservation.

From Vietnam, moved to Singapore with Wilbur my Vietnamese cat who I rescued on his way to the cooking pot.

In Singapore established an entrepreneur startup magazine. As Editor, I interviewed some of the world's most high profile people. From Rudy Giuliani & Robert Kiyosaki to sharing personal thoughts with Anita Roddick to having a tête-à-tête over coffee with Al Ries & Tom Peters. Wandered around Asia, jumped out planes & climbed mountains in the quest for a good story.

Started my own PR & Event Management company in 2004 with a focus on personalised service.

The language of commerce goes beyond saying, “G'day mate!” In Chinese there is a word for business connections called, "Guanxi" which means, “It is not about what you know. It is about who you know." In Indonesian & Malaysian it is, "Abang, ada baik?" which means, "Brother, how are you, how can I serve you?" In Thailand, it is "Sawadee Kap!" In the Philippines it is, "Mabuhay. Selamat Po!" & Singapore, "Ni hou! How are you?"

If you wish to expand into Asia, require creative PR, a media campaign or special event contact me.

In the meantime, stay tuned for my first book “Travels with Wilbur”

Philanthropist: Board Member/Fundraiser. To me it's about making a positive difference to a child, animal or our beautiful planet.

At the time of writing both Linda & Wilbur were hoping to be adopted by Bill Gates.
