"Communications professionals who have lived on the editorial side and understand how newsrooms work are ideally suited to helping our clients formulate media relations programs that deliver maximum impact," said President and Founder RICHARD STRAUSS. "REBECCA is a tremendous addition to the staff and continues our commitment to offering clients unrivaled service from industry veterans with deep and wide editorial experience."
"What I found most unique about STRAUSS RADIO STRATEGIES is its commitment to working on important public policy issues and with non-profit organizations dedicated to admirable missions and causes," added O'HALLORAN. "I'm looking forward to joining a select, accomplished team and pursuing two areas that I find tremendously rewarding -- media outreach and public service."
