Chelsie (Smith) Woods’s Summary

At Eclipse Media Group, our focus is providing public relations representation to leading companies in the physical security market. Together with my business partner, Andrea Gural, we have more than two decades of experience in the physical security market and a solid understanding of how to work with security trade publications, vertical market publications and the mainstream media.

EMG currently represents Bosch Security Systems, Codebench, ioimage and Orsus.

Another client of EMGs is the IP UserGroup USA, where we are responsible for promoting and organizing regional educational programs (called IP-in-Action LIVE) held throughout the United States. These one-day events feature an educational program on IP Security and mini-tradeshow and are free to attendees - systems integrators, end users and consultants.

The next IP-in-LIVE event will be in Atlanta on Wednesday, Nov. 18th at the AMA Executive Conference Center in Midtown Atlanta.
