Scott Tillitt’s Summary

Scott is a socially conscious communicator, equal parts publicist, marketer and writer. He has an insatiable interest in big ideas and the behaviors that drive people, what resonates with them, and how to communicate with them.

He has 14 years of experience promoting ideas, products and services in various culture-shaping (and sometimes suffocating) worlds — advertising, media, interactive design, photography, technology, television and fashion. Some years ago, he broke the trance of an increasingly cynical consumer culture and started applying his corporate skills to the public interest, promoting nonprofits and progressive social issues.

In his new incarnation, he worked with Josh Baran on the media relations for the 2003 New York visit of the Dalai Lama, handling various press events and nearly 500 foreign and domestic journalists from all forms of media. Since then he has worked with a range of groups, films and books covering the environment, religion and spirituality, social justice, health care and education — serving clients on both US coasts and places in between, in Europe, and down under in Australia.
