Stephanie Angelyn Casola

In January 2009 I stepped away from the career I loved and had never imagined leaving. After working for more than a decade as a full-time reporter covering arts, entertainment and news across metro Detroit, I watched newspapers, magazines and media outlets shrink and collapse around me. I knew I had to find a new way to use my writing skills and media experience. I had worked as a freelance copywriter for Publicity Works in the past and had a great working relationship with both Lisa Maas, the president of Publicity Works, and PR Manager Jim Miller.

The moment I announced I was leaving journalism and looking to make the move into public relations, they were both very supportive. I was hired on in a temporary capacity for a position that quickly led to my current full-time job as an account executive and content manager. I hope I was able to bring a reporter's perspective to our work, a sort of insider's understanding of deadlines, newsroom culture and story angles. I also made the move at a key time as social media began to take hold and transform in the industry. On my first week of work, Lisa suggested I read David Meerman Scott's The New Rules of PR and Marketing. With so much new to explore in the realm of social media, I was really drawn to the myriad of ways we are able to help share our clients' messages.

At Publicity Works I was encouraged to jump in with both feet and learn the PR ropes from every angle. I still spend much of my days writing – though now it is more often in the form of new business proposals, press materials and correspondence with reporters or clients. I love the fact that, as in my previous career, my days are never predictable. There is always a new challenge to tackle. We work with a wide range of clients – from restaurants to fashion taste-makers, non-profits and unions to financial experts. The approach changes to suit the needs of each one. I'm constantly researching some new topic. I've spent mornings looking on as one of our chef's cook on television;  days running around Fashion in Detroit runways to connect reporters with designers; and evenings supporting charitable events we've promoted. The work is fast-paced, interesting and unpredictable.

To keep my inner-journalist happy, I write a blog and freelance whenever there is time and opportunity to do so. I've found that as long as I'm doing work that I believe can make a difference, or shed light on something wonderful happening in the metro Detroit area, then I've accomplished something worthwhile. I feel lucky to continue to have that opportunity each day.

Kaylee Hawkins

As an account coordinator at Tanner Friedman, I’m able to help create, implement and manage strategically developed communications plans to meet the needs of our clients. Our firm does not believe in a “one size fits all” approach, so I’m able to custom tailor plans using traditional, new, social and other mediums. I’m also able to take on non-traditional projects fitting my previous experiences, including assisting the development of programs for nonprofit organizations and co-coordinating our firm’s internship and student support programs.

In addition to my day-to-day activities at the office, I am also heavily involved in community service and education, both locally and statewide. I represent Tanner Friedman as a guest lecturer on a variety of topics relating to journalism and public relations for select courses/organizations at local universities, including Oakland University, Wayne State University and UM Flint. I serve as vice president of the board of directors for Oakland University’s student-run newspaper, The Oakland Post, and sit as community service chair for Fusion, the Detroit Regional Chamber’s young professionals group. I’m also a conference planning/board member in the Director of Communications position for Michigan Youth Leadership (MYLead,) a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to developing leadership potential in Michigan’s youth.

Dave Lemieux

My career with Biznet began in February of 09’ as an intern. I signed up with Oakland University’s career services in January of 09’ and within a month I received a phone call for an interview. They said they saw my resume on Oakland’s database (I didn’t even reach out to them!) and brought me in. I was ecstatic and a little nervous given it was my first interview for a possible “career job,” but I nailed it and got the paid internship I was hoping for. While pursuing a degree in Business Marketing I knew this was the perfect opportunity for me to jump-start my career! Over the following months I gained a vast amount of knowledge on digital marketing, social media, and the importance of communicating effectively. Come September business was starting to boom and I was offered a full-time position as Marketing Coordinator. I was overjoyed and didn’t even think twice; I took the offer.

My responsibilities today include website copy writing and tweaking, search engine optimization, article and video distribution, analyzing metrics, social media monitoring, building client relationships...basically the behind the scenes stuff that helps companies websites get ranked higher in search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing...etc). I love what I do and I love the team I work with (probably most important factor for a successful business). The most rewarding part for me is seeing these campaigns, that we work so hard on, succeed and drive traffic along with potential business to their websites.
