Patricia: High-tech PR, marcom expert

by Rene Siegel on February 19th, 2010

I’m a consummate senior High Tech PR Professional looking for part-time, contract or full-time work in the greater San Francisco area. I have more than 15 years experience in strategic public relations, marketing communications and corporate communications, especially for business-to-business and business-to-consumer high technology companies, in every vertical from semiconductors to crowdsourcing.

I have planned and managed hundreds of product launches and other outreach campaigns, resulting in increases in brand credibility and publicity of up to 1500%. I have broad-ranging experience with top-tier analyst organizations, national business media, trade and vertical industry editors and bloggers, and four years experience working with Twitter, Facebook and other social media.

Most of my big name brands are in the past, as I primarily work with start-ups and mid-size companies these days. A lot of my recent work is in the mobile wireless arena, which with Apple, Google Android and others is a pretty happening place these days. My personality is practical and hard working rather than flashy. I love learning about new technologies and getting results for my clients. My recent successes include a roll out of the “Nirvana Phone” concept for my client Open Kernal Labs (a small mobile virtualization company) and its partner Citrix. We got coverage in Engadget, SlashGear, VentureBeat, ReadWriteWeb and dozens of other venues; rave reviews from analysts; and Tweets and ReTweets in the hundreds. Now that’s what I call fun!
