Stacy Geagan Wagner’s Summary

Stacy’s award-winning public relations career started more than a decade ago at Ketchum Public Relations in Atlanta where she worked as a corporate and workplace communications consultant. Since 2000, she has spearheaded corporate communications efforts from the inside—ranging from public affairs to consumer marketing communications—for entrepreneurial ventures in the airline and mobile technology industries.

As the Director of Corporate Communications, Stacy launched two low-fare airlines, Virgin America and Delta Air Lines’ Song, acting as spokesperson, and media and employee communications strategist. As Vice President of Corporate Communications, Stacy was responsible for the successful public relations strategy that achieved mobile entertainment company Limbo (now Brightkite) national recognition on The Today Show, CNBC, NBC and Fox as well as in the pages of the USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Forbes.

A graduate of Emory University’s Executive MBA and Oglethorpe University, Stacy was named one of the “Top 10 to Watch” from PR News magazine. In 2007, she founded a non-profit organization called Work In Progress Fitness that provides free access to health and fitness information and instruction.
