Amy Summers

Amy Summers founded Pitch Publicity® in 2003, in her mid-twenties, building a proactive public relations agency that has since earned billions of media impressions for hundreds of companies and organizations. Notably, she’s the first publicist to orchestrate live media interviews from two of the most extreme points on the planet: sixty-three feet beneath the sea in the Aquarius Reef Base research laboratory, and 21,000 feet above sea level on Mount Everest. In 2020, she launched INICIVOX®, a virtual platform designed to harness mentorship to enhance communication skills. Amy’s pitching methodologies and mentorship success stories are showcased through her popular microcast, The Pitch with Amy Summers, and podcast, Pitch Live with Amy Summers.

A pioneer in remote work and virtual mentorship, Amy has earned business, education, and communication awards in entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility, and diversity, equity, and inclusion from PR News and Nutrition Business Journal. Based in New York City, Amy attributes her successful career start in public relations to her educational background from the University of Florida, where she has contributed her expertise by serving on multiple boards of directors and as an adjunct lecturer. Currently, Amy serves on the board of directors of the Student Press Law Center, the nation’s only legal organization dedicated to protecting the free press rights of student journalists.
