I never heard of this chick but really when it comes to publicists look at their client list gives you the best impression of how good they are and how much swag they got in the industry. anybody can send out press kits but not everybody can land a placement in a mag or online. for example, dj strong hooked me up with the source mag and thats how i got my review in there. he's not my publicist though but you get my point.
I'm Portia - a Publicist.
Thanks for the referral on the thread Frank.
I can only speak for myself in regards to what I do as a Publicist.
My job is to create the "buzz" in the Industry for an artist, and to keep them in the spotlight by generating constistent attention thru National and International Exposure -
Including Print (Magazines/Newspapers), Internet, Radio, and TV.
I work closely with my clients to get the artists input for publicity based campaigns, as well as provide a target marketing/publicity strategy for upcoming projects.
We as Publicists, keep the media in the loop about our artists.
Besides being the Media contatct for my clients, I do Biographies, Press Releases, Media Advisories, Schedule Interviews, Newsletters, Magazine/E-Zine placement, Review requests, Media Press Kits, Bulletins, and anything else Media related that my clients need.
Writing is a major key factor in my job.. The press releases, biographies, media advisories, and newsletters have to grab the Media's attention to want to continue to hear and learn more about the artist and their projects. Everything that goes out, I write!
Some artists feel they don't need a Publicist so their Manager may take on the responsibility of connecting with the Media.
But, I believe that the Manager should only be focused on the artist, the projects, the show bookings, etc. The Media is definitely a job of it's own.
It irritates me when someone wants a Publicist, and they don't even have a Manager.
If you don't have any shows, projects, or at least a single circulating - a Publicist is the last thing you need.
There needs to be some kind of buzz already, whether it be in the streets or Nationally for me to pull the Media in regarding an artist.

I see your point........ She has her company that is a branch off a bigger company in L.A. I can go to the bigger companys website to get the client list but just cause the company says they do publicity for certain people doesn't mean she does. That can go for anyone you give me a client list for.
I know Li Mari because Im one of her media contacts, so she has never done publicity for me. But every time a well known star comes out here she always is able to use her contacts to get me an interview for my show.
in my opinion it is important to have a publicist to go along with your management team if your gonna be a successful artist out here
