Michael S.

The Media Whisperer Public Relations

I’ve arranged media coverage of Taylor Swift’s casket (google it for more info); a restaurant’s $615,000 lawsuit against New York City (also easily found on google); and a barber who moonlights as a salami maker (yep, also on google). Since 2020, I’ve arranged over 200 earned media placements in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe (including two front page stories), the New York Post, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, INSIDER, CNN, MSNBC, New York Magazine, Slate, A/V Club, NBC Nightly News, Fast Company, and dozens of other top-tier publications and outlets. DM me to have a 15 minute conversation about getting PR for your business - or better yet book a 30 minute consultation!
