About me
Hi! I am the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Otto & Friends, an LGBTQ- and female-owned agency specializing in public relations, digital marketing and branding. I am also an unapologetic Swiftie.
With a combined 60+ years of experience, the team at Otto & Friends has worked with major brands and startups and everything in-between to develop and implement strategies that enhance how their consumers work, live and play, while elevating the company's overall goals. We are especially passionate about helping startups and nonprofits tell their stories, which is why we are committed to making ourselves available - and accessible - to small businesses and major brands alike.
Prior to founding Otto & Friends, I was a Vice President at Grey where I led PR for Marriott International, the National Park Foundation and Canon, as well as the agency itself and its pro bono work. Throughout my career, I have also represented brands and organizations like UNICEF, Target, Levi Strauss & Co., Newtown Action Alliance, TED, The Walt Disney Company and others from the consumer, nonprofit, entertainment, tech, startup, Broadway and tourism industries.
A few more fun facts: I grew up on a farm in Northwestern Pennsylvania, Angela Lansbury once called me charming and my drink of choice is a dirty vodka martini with blue cheese-stuffed olives. These days, I split my time between Harlem and the Catskills with my husband, Mark, and our dog - Otto.
