Pitch Publicity president & owner, Amy Summers A high-performance achiever with a proven track record of success. Summers launched Pitch Publicity in 2003, in the face of a rapidly changing climate for communication and media relations. With a focus on journalistic needs for newsworthy stories and extreme deadlines, Summers’ approach has always been focused on crafting a newsworthy pitch that complements her clients’ goals and satisfies the media’s need for a compelling story. She believes that although having the right media contacts are invaluable, not having the right pitch at the right time is a huge disadvantage to any publicity campaign, no matter the strength of the relationship with the journalist. Credited with strategizing publicity campaigns and securing live interviews for media with her clients at the deepest and only underwater scientific laboratory on the planet (63 feet beneath the sea) to the highest point of the planet during a Mount Everest summit (21,000 feet above sea level), Summers’ publicity campaigns have resulted in billions of media impressions for influential medical doctors, scientists, authors, entrepreneurs, politicians, environmentalists, humanitarians, military veterans, corporations and nonprofit organizations worldwide. Her pitching skills are not limited to media, as Summers has strategized and executed major fundraising campaigns that have generated millions of dollars in revenue for international and national nonprofits, all by carefully crafting a strategic pitch with the right creative elements to move an audience to action.
