Paul Peterson (paul.peterson@mcmurry.com)’s Summary

I currently serve as a Strategic Marketing Consultant for McMurry (www.mcmurry.com), where I am responsible for working with clients across the country and in a variety of industries to shape how "content" strategically fits into their overall marketing program.

My nearly 10 year career includes diverse marketing, public relations and client management experience in areas of health care, government, real estate, consumer products, Native American tribes, high-tech communications, hospitality, entertainment and film publicity and promotion.

Prior to McMurry, I served as Deputy Director of Off Madison Ave's public relations team, overseeing account teams involved in creating and executing various consumer and business-to-business public relations programs on a local, regional and national scale.

Prior to joining Off Madison Ave, I served as public information officer for the Phoenix Convention Center Department where I oversaw a wide range of public relations activities for the multi-faceted department which included the Phoenix Convention Center, Phoenix Symphony and Orpheum Theatre. I helped develop the communication strategy surrounding the center's $600 million dollar expansion.

Prior, I worked as a senior publicist at Barclay Communications, handling regional feature film publicity for major film studios including Buena Vista/Walt Disney, DreamWorks SKG, Universal Pictures and New Line Cinemas. I was involved in the launch of Buena Vista Home Entertainment and worked with the studio to develop regional publicity and promotional programs for the extensive line of home entertainment features released by the studio.

I am a proud graduate of Northern Arizona University with a B.S. in Public Relations.
