PR Consultant
Greater San Diego Area
I have more than 15 years of experience in the high tech PR and marketing industry. After 4 years of consulting through my own company, Scribner Communications, I returned to the agency world and worked at JHG (formerly Townsend PR) as an account manager. I returned to manage Scribner Communications full-time in March 2009. Over my 15 year career, I have acquired a great deal of acumen in marketing B2B, as well as B2C companies, especially those that are technology-focused. I am also well-versed on social media, including Facebook and Twitter, and believe that companies must adopt social media as part of their overall marketing mix to stay competitive and be successful.

Cooper/Iverson Marketing, which was acquired by Bailey Gardiner, specialized in provideing a full range of marketing and public relation services to companies in the high technology market. Most of our clients provided products used in the business and government space. I started with this agency after graduating from SDSU and gained all of my PR expertise through hands-on experience.
