About Ruth Corcoran

My favorite things in life? Sharing creative energy, writing, family fun with my grandkids, playing with my 2 rescue pups, and beach vacations! I\'m a marketing, public relations, and social media specialist with 30+ years of experience. Corcoran Communications, my marketing, digital strategy, and PR firm, helps local, regional, and national clients in a broad range of industries achieve their marketing goals. My former Sunday Column in the Times Leader newspaper called Life at Full Throttle that provided me the opportunity to write about all the things I love most in life. When it comes to working, my diverse group of clients are in financial services, law, economic development, entertainment, real estate, retail, food & beverage, accounting, construction, energy, film, finance, credit unions, and more. National clients have included Feld Entertainment (Disney on Ice & Ringling Bros), Chevy, Encana Corporation. and SenArt Films. Press releases and feature articles submitted on behalf of clients have been published in local and national newspapers, business publications and magazines, and on tv. In addition, I have coordinated various business and fundraising events and helped to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for area non-profit groups through events. More recently, I have developed a focus on digital and content marketing, specializing in web content writing, blog writing, social media content creation, copywriting, and ghostwriting. I\'d love the opportunity to help you better market your business! Opened Cork Bar & Restaurant, an upscale bar and dining establishment in Wilkes-Barre\'s North End in 2007. Ran it successfully for ten years, achieving a number one ranking on trip advisor and a loyal local following, before selling in 2017. Launched COR Strategic Group in 2015. COR Strategic focuses on marketing and strategic planning for credit unions. COR Strategic currently serves credit union clients in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, providing all types of marketing services, from traditional to digital marketing and social media management. Continues to successfully operate both marketing businesses, which have won numerous awards for excellence.
