About Erica S. van Ross

Too often, companies struggle to tell their story. That\'s where I come in. I\'m an accredited public relations strategist with two decades of experience in communications and journalism and I thrive at the intersection of finding the right words, that convey the right messages, to the right audiences, at the right time. My background: I spent five years as a television journalist before moving into corporate communications. From Fortune 50 public to private & family-owned, from government to nonprofit, from financial services to retail, from tech to education, my experience crosses a variety of industries. In every sector, I look at situations through every lens and create communications strategies that help companies to connect and build relationships with every audience. My philosophy: The best story is the truth. Communications that connect with employees can change your organization’s trajectory. Community engagement and strategic, focused philanthropy show your internal and external audiences who your company is, what you believe, and why it matters. Diversity of thought, experience, and backgrounds enriches your perspective, leading to more informed decisions and better outcomes.
