I have written more than 100 news releases since starting my marketing career, covering topics such as ribbon cuttings, groundbreakings, employee news, promotions, awards, fundraisers, new projects, project milestones, event/performance announcements, album releases, and more. Many of these news releases were picked up and published by the media. Here are some of the news releases I have written and distributed to local and national media in recent years.
