Russ Handler is a Public Relations and Media Relations expert with a proven track record in building solid relationships with the local and national media landscape and securing quality media placements throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Russ has had an extensive library of clients, taking them from inception to quality local and national television bookings, many of whom had little to no previous media exposure. In addition, Russ has frequently placed his clients as regular guests and contributors by building solid, collaborative relationships with top-tier media and by providing them with topical, newsworthy pitches and story ideas.
As a former journalist, Russ is qualified to interact with the media in industry-specific language, with a complete understanding of their needs and goals, and as a competent partner and not just a liaison.
