Experience
Senior Account Executive
May 2022 — Present · Boston, MA, US
CK Communications Group is an award-winning integrated communications agency based in Boston, MA. With a long history of delivering successful public relations and marketing campaigns to arts, non-profit, consumer, and lifestyle clients, we provide expertise in strategic communications and messaging, earned media, social media and content creation and community engagement. Innovation and creative solutions drive our practice.We help tell our client stories, build buzz and generate customer engagement, and showcase their incredible value. We’re passionate about the work we do and delivering results.My experience includes being a public relations/marketing executive, producer (live theatre and public radio), and stage manager working with non-profit and commercial organizations in music, theatre, dance, and museums. For almost 2 decades I led my own arts marketing/public relations firm in Boston. During that time, we represented national Broadway tours in Boston’s commercial theatres and across the country; over 200 New England institutions and presentations ranging from Boston Ballet, The Big Apple Circus, The Huntington Theatre Company, and ArtsBoston, to such clients as Blue Man Group, The Celebrity Series and Catch a Rising Star Comedy Club. More recently, I was instrumental in building the public radio program From the Top into one of the most important forces in classical music; first as Director of Marketing & Communications then as Tour Producer leading the transformation of how the organization operated by developing a national tour that annually recorded up to 20 live concerts for broadcast in venues from Beijing to the Aspen Music Festival.
