Why PR?

Siobhan Ford: Account Supervisor, BlissPR-B2B Public Relations and B2B Marketing Services

I’ve always been fascinated by the way certain brands (be they product or person) are able to inspire deep loyalty and passion in people. Once I figured out PR’s role in making that happen, I knew it was the right career for me. I love helping people and companies figure out creative, innovative ways to tell their stories. And I can’t deny feeling a little thrill every time I land great media coverage for my clients.

Areas of Expertise and Interest

I work mainly with clients in the professional services industry. I really enjoy working with business thought leaders to help them position their companies and ideas, hone their messaging, and find platforms that allow them to share their knowledge with the world. I’ve come to see how smart, thoughtful management practices can truly change the business world (and beyond) for the better, and I love helping these ideas gain momentum. I especially enjoy working with clients on ways to promote themselves and engage with the public through social media.

What I Did Before BlissPR

I started my career as an editorial assistant for the Harvard Business Review, where I learned the ropes of the publishing world and discovered that business could be interesting and even fun. I eventually joined the communications team at HBR, where I handled media relations for the magazine’s print and digital content. Working with different content each month helped me build deep knowledge across a wide range of management topics, from finance to talent management to innovation.

What I Do for Fun

As a recent transplant to New York, I learn something new about the city each time I step out my front door. I have a deep and abiding love for good food and drink, so I’m always up for a new culinary adventure, whether that’s a five-course meal with wine pairings or a hunt for the best soup dumplings in Chinatown. I also love cooking, but my tiny Manhattan kitchen makes it quite a challenge. I enjoy practicing pilates, wandering through Central Park, reading New York magazine, traveling (especially to California), and keeping up with my beloved Boston Red Sox.
