Marilynn Mobley’s Summary

In my role as Senior Vice President and Strategic Counsel for Edelman (the world's largest independent public relations firm) I provide our clients with research-based insights on how Baby Boomers think, plan, act, and spend money. Using a proprietary process and custom research, I help clients find their brand's Bulls'-Eye Boomer so they can tap the financial and intellectual power of the most influential generation in the U.S.

I also work closely with C-level executives across many industries, advising them on how best to communicate the company's story to all stakeholders, including employees, customers, partners, the media and more. I have a long track record as a strategic thinker who can take complex concepts and messages and make them easy to understand and act on. Moreover, as a long-time blogger and experienced word-of-mouth marketing professional, I understand how to tailor messages to take advantage of the unique capabilities of multiple platforms.

I have delivered hundreds of speeches to audiences of as few as 5 to as many as 5,000. More than 300 executives from the Fortune 500, as well as thousands of business owners, speakers and consultants have relied on my counsel over the 25+ years that I have been a professional communicator.

In addition to being the author of a popular book, "The Scoop on Media Interviews: How to be a Respected Resource Reporters and Producers Love," I write a popular blog called www.BabyBoomerInsights.com.

My career has included being a newspaper reporter, an internal communications manager for a large public utility, a Fortune 100 speech writer, a media relations manager, a business owner and consultant, and a turnaround executive for the country's largest privately held Managed Security Services Provider.

Today, I consult with executives around the country as part of Edelman's extensive network.
