Mark Rose’s Summary

15+ years experience crafting and implementing public relations programs for start-ups, mid-size and large companies in a wide range of industries. Includes New York City agency public relations experience: Senior Vice President at Edelman Worldwide, the world's largest independent public relations firm, Middleberg Communications, Howard Rubenstein Associates, Marston Communications, Makovsky + Co.

In 2007 I joined Frances Del Valle and became Partner at ICG. I develop Internet communications strategies for established companies and entrepreneurial start-ups. I also assist with Editorial Services and InfluenceFinancial.

ICG communicators have dozens of years experience spearheading successful campaigns for established, prestigious firms. We put that talent to work in nimble teams tailored exclusively to long-term programs or projects.

At ICG we don't just think different - we are different, built from the ground up for the world of digital communications.

At ICG we understand the new equation of public outreach:

push
traditional news delivery to established media

pull
optimization and marketing through Internet search

network
viral, word of mouth, and community development through social media

Mark Rose’s Specialties:
