Hire Me

WeirPR.comYes, yes, I am a blogger.

But, I come to it with nearly 20 years of deadline newspaper reporting — which means speed, accuracy, strong ethics and no fluff.

I use my years as a journalist, combined with the knowledge gained as a business owner, to help small businesses promote themselves to media, and directly to customers, using traditional pitching, plus social media, e-mail campaigns, and on-line networks. I can even train you to do it for yourself, which just takes patience, a strong stomach and a sense of humor. And, I can do it all in English and Spanish.

What can I do for you and your business?

  • Press kits, including suggested story ideas for reporters.
  • Pitch you to media, tell them what a great story you are.
  • Media training. In other words, do not be afraid of reporters.
  • Company e-newsletters to connect with valued customers.
  • Social media training. You too can Tweet.
  • Social media management. Tweet, Facebook, YouTube, and more, for you and your company.
  • Blog set-up. Create your blog, teach you the basics of good, focused blogging and search engine optimization … and off you go.
  • Vlogging. You too can video blog.
  • Blogging for your business. Can’t write? I can. For you.
  • Small business marketing. Identify and connect with your people.
  • Voiceovers, English and Spanish.
  • Fixer for out-of-town reporters visiting Nashville and Middle Tennessee.

A recent recommendation via LinkedIn:

“Carrie helped with PR and marketing for my small business start up and I was so pleased with the results, I hired her to help with a non-profit fundraiser I chaired. She is an expert about all things media related (especially social and print media) and she knows how to get viral buzz going about your business or organization. With Carrie’s help, my business was quickly up an running with social networking sites and reporters/bloggers began calling me to do features about my business. She keeps me updated on the latest technological tools I can use to make sure my business is constantly noticed. On the non-profit side, with Carrie’s help, our fundraiser received the most press (buzz) in the history of the event…She takes the time to learn your business/organization so she can assist with the updates and you can focus on running and building your business…She is responsive, reasonable, personable and reliable.)”  – Tanisha H., September 1, 2009
