Jocelyn Brandeis’s Summary
A self-motivated, creative public relations industry veteran w/experience in broadcasting, film & internet/new media industries, & secondary experience in non-profit & children's consumer items industries…A resourceful problem-solver, who is comfortable as both a leader in group dynamics & collaborating w/a team…Dedicated to excellent customer service, hard work & corporate objectives.
I also run/moderate the NYCPublicRelationsGroup on Yahoo! (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NYCPublicRelationsGroup) for NYC-based public relations pros of all levels.
Many of my friends & former colleagues call me "The Networking Queen" because of all the people I know. If I don't know the answer to something, I'll find you someone who does.
What most people don't get to know about me during an interview, but rather only through employment, is that I'm a very hard worker. I put 200% effort into my job every day. I take pride in what I do as a PR person, no matter what the result. If I know I've done my best - & if I know my team has done it's best - then that's all I can ask for.
I do my best to be diplomatic & manage expectations of executives who want to see the company's name published every day (or in The New York Times/Wall Street Journal), as that's not always a realistic goal. Managing expectations is something that every PR person has to know how to do & do well.
As journalists & publicists are known to have a love-hate relationship, both know that they couldn't survive without the other. Sometimes, even if you have the best relationships w/journalists, the story may be out of their hands to get it published. And as a publicist or corporate communications expert, you have to accept that & relay that effectively to your management team.
Networking, excellent contacts, a strong work ethic, & communicating effectively – internally or externally – are just a few of the strengths that I would bring to a company or client's PR team, as well as its bottom line.
