Julie Davis
Director, Client Services at BlockStar Promotions Group
Summary
Born with a set of headphones and the heart of a musician, I unfortunately grew up without a sense of rhythm or key. Once I accepted not being the next American Idol, I dedicated myself to a career in Public Relations and, as it turns out, my love of melodic art catapulted me into the world of communications. Here I seamlessly found my niche. While volunteering as Music Director of college radio station 88.5 FM WKPX, I expanded my interests in promotional support of local artists, helping to brand acts, plan promotions and generally spread the word.
Digging deeper into PR I’ve had a range of incredible learning experiences. Through an internship with Omnicom agency Brodeur Partners I took on a variety of responsibilities, from pitching media to researching outlets and managing event materials; thus building the necessary skills to be an effective PR professional. Not only have I formed a strong understanding of media relations and unmatched communication skills, I have gained the faculty to efficiently utilize agency resources, such as Cision Media Source, Factiva and creative social media outlets.
One marketing degree from Manhattan College, a few internships and an amazing role in PR later, I’m still looking for ways to further my experience and, eventually, set the world to music.
