About Deborah Clayton

With over 25 years in television news, I’ve built a career as an Emmy Award-winning journalist and newsroom leader—serving in key roles such as Assignment Manager, Assistant News Director, and ultimately News Director. Throughout my career, I was on the receiving end of countless pitches from public relations professionals in newsrooms around the country. Today, I’ve shifted to the other side of the desk—partnering with my business co-founder Kim Sherwood Schofield to elevate small businesses and non-profits by helping them earn the big-league media recognition they deserve. In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family—whether it’s traveling to support my daughters at tennis tournaments, cooking at home, or giving back through community volunteering.
