About Mike Onorato
I’m a senior communications and publicity leader with 20+ years of experience helping organizations and senior leaders build visibility, credibility, and momentum through strategic, media-driven storytelling.I began my career in-house at Wiley, where I developed a strong understanding of how complex organizations operate—partnering closely with editorial, sales, marketing, and leadership teams to support major consumer and professional brands. I later moved into agency leadership at Smith Publicity, where I scaled teams, advised clients across industries, and helped drive national campaigns with a strong focus on message clarity, media impact, and execution.Most recently, I served in an in-house leadership role at Sounds True, directing integrated publicity strategies and managing teams responsible for high-visibility campaigns. Across every role, I’ve focused on translating organizational goals into compelling narratives, preparing leaders for high-profile media and speaking opportunities, mentoring teams, and securing coverage that advances both mission and business priorities.I’m especially drawn to organizations with a strong sense of purpose and collaborative cultures. I believe the most effective communications are built on trust, clarity, and long-term relationships—with leaders, internal partners, and the media. I welcome conversations with organizations and teams seeking a strategic, experienced communications partner.
