About Carol Cookerly

Now in my 27th year as president/founder of Cookerly PR, the caliber of our work and the consistency we’ve maintained astound me. I’m humbled and honored to have a team of sure-shots at Cookerly — we just keep getting better.The brands I represent, both big and small, usually come in on referral. Having a reputation for doing great work has always been my priority. Some of my best work efforts have been in issue management/crisis communications. People and companies in trouble often come in fast and furious; we’re adept at minimizing the fallout, and I’ve learned and taught a lot about how to get through a business crisis. There is no doubt we handle more issues/crisis events than just about any firm in the southeast. The variety is spectacular. And, I think we’ve perfected the art of supporting the permitting process for any kind of facility.I graduated from Duke and spent five years as a television reporter. Then, it was PR in New York before coming to Atlanta.
