Michelle Damico Communications

Michelle is a PR maven. She has unparalleled media savvy driven by her many years as a reporter in the Chicago market, which is a clear difference-maker to the reporters and editors she works with on behalf of clients--whether local, national, or international. Clients love to work with her because of her dedicated service, passion for storytelling, and unrelenting drive to get results that advance clients' goals. From running a press center for a trade conference in Dubai, facilitating expert commentary in top-tier media for timely news items, to driving buzz around a company anniversary bash and non-profit fundraising events, Michelle can--and will--do it all for her clients. I was fortunate enough to learn from her firsthand during my time at Michelle Damico Communications at the very start of my communications career. Michelle was generous with her time and her expertise, mentoring me to ensure I was building a foundation for success in PR and communications. Anyone who works beside Michelle, whether an intern, early-career individual, or experienced freelancer, will gain valuable PR insights and learn from her every day -- a front-row seat to a Master Class!

Michelle is an experienced Public Relations strategist and I've had several opportunities to watch her in action, read her writing, and view her impressive results for clients. I've also experieinced the benefits of directly working with her and taking her expert advice: A few years ago, my neighbors and I launched a grass roots initiative against a major development that would have been harmful for my community. I found myself needing to prepare for a television interview with a reporter. I knew that the interview was crucial and my message had to be clear and concise. Michelle helped me craft the message and prepare for the interview. The message came through clearly and the developers eventually gave up on the project. Michelle is savvy with her communications strategy and generous with her time which has made her an excellent mentor. She has welcomed four interns straight out of college and provided them with the training and real work experience they needed to be successful. I watched as she transformed interns into communications professionals who've since gone on to leadership roles in business, government, politics and public affairs agencies.
