Mike F.
Media Guru | Media Relations, Press Contacts/Releases/Placements
I am a seasoned PR professional based in Boston. I represent clients that range from restaurants and luxury brands to small businesses and nonprofits. I've taken clients from start-up to IPO and everything in between. At my core, I am a journalist, spending 15 years as a local news executive. My specialty is crafting your story to get you the media coverage you deserve. Given my pedigree in news, I can boast the most comprehensive and targeted media lists in the industry. I leave no stone unturned while pursuing top-tier earned coverage. During the pandemic, I realized that there wasn't enough being done to help small businesses and nonprofits! I have seen enough negative news in Boston. I decided it was time to work to get great stories and good people on air. My work has been recognized with four Emmy Awards and three Edward R. Murrow awards. My specialty is press release writing and distribution and media relations (pitching, media lists, and journalist coordination). Given my background in news, I have a truly unique pitching style that attracts tremendous amounts of attention. My press releases have been picked up by the most prominent news outlets in the world.
