Why Media Should Be On
Your Radar This Year

Hi, I’m Mercedes!

As a journalist, editorial leader, and video producer with an Emmy nomination under my belt, I know firsthand how the press and media can propel a business to new heights of success. Having served as senior editor for NextAdvisor, a personal finance brand in partnership with Time, led the video team at Money.com, and served as senior investing editor at Bankrate, a prominent personal finance media firm… I know exactly how the world of media works.

The saying is true – your network is your net worth. That includes knowing who will get you in front of millions of your target audience, how to talk to them so that your story gets picked up, and what their audience wants to hear in order to magnify your visibility.

And that’s exactly what I’m here to help you do. 

As your publicist, I'll use the connections I've built as a journalist to help propel your business in front of the people that need you the most.

So what are you waiting for? 
Let's get you featured.

From My Clients

“Working with Mercedes has been the best business decision I’ve made in a long time. She understands my business and message. Her communication is timely and helpful. Her journalism background and professionalism helps her target the best media for me, and I’ve been so happy with my press coverage."

Sharon Rose Hayward
Founder, Winning at Work

“Mercedes is one of the most talented journalists I’ve ever worked with – in fact, I’ve hired her not once, but twice! She has killer instinct for finding viral stories, a huge network of sources and editors, and an innate ability to connect with entrepreneurs and understand what makes them special. I wouldn’t miss a chance to work with her.”

Adam Auriemma
Editor-in-Chief, CNET

“Mercedes is an exceptional PR professional! She’ll get you featured but what’s equally important to me is how much she guides and supports you along the journey. During times when a deal falls through at the last minute, she didn’t let me get discouraged and was our biggest cheerleader. And it paid off! She’s a phenomenal PR person and an amazing human being. So glad I found her!”
