For 12 years

PR Firm:

I edited

staff-written features for Burson-Marsteller for six years,

while writing and

placing hundreds of my own articles

with

appropriate trade magazines

and

writing and

producing three

company

magazines. I also developed and ran client

communications

programs,

winning the nation’s top PR award—the

Public Relations

Society of America’

s Silver Anvil—for innovative

programming. I

also won Chicago’s top PR

trophy (the Golden

As owner of

McNair

Marketing Communications for 22 years, I traveled the

country

visiting my

clients’ customers to write features showing how

they

used

and products to solve problems. I

placed those articles in trade

publications read by other potential

client customers.
