Amy Dean inspires her clients to be real and relevant communicators with vision, courage and consistency. As co-creator of the first web site that monitors Twitter for celebrity ghost tweeting, Amy has spoken with authority on the issue of social networking authenticity for USA Today, Businessweek.com and PRWeek. In addition, she has created the concept of "Keyword Communication." To take public relations to the next level, she cultivates compelling keyword-driven content consistently across an array of traditional and new media channels. As a result, she propels her clients to the top of search results and to the heart of their industry's conversations. In addition to understanding that keywords are like smoke signals that people use to find each other, Amy believes that if companies grant their employees access to social networking tools they can fuel their own PR machines from the inside out. She has developed the strategic process of "Inside Out Public Relations" to help companies empower their employees to be brand ambassadors and to reap the rewards of real-time communication with customers and industry influencers. As a public relations consultant with 10 years of experience at a global public relations agency and as President of Dean Public Relations, Amy's client roster spans industries and includes companies, nonprofit organizations and authors.

Everything Jeannette Paladino does is about communicating ideas and nurturing a culture of communication within organizations. To bring its vision of a highly successful company to life, management needs to place a high priority on communicating to internal and external audiences. Her work spans marketing communications, training and development for brand-name organizations like Marsh & McLennan, JPMorgan Chase, Citicorp, Deloitte Consulting, Deloitte & Touche, KPMG, A.T. Kearney, Latham & Watkins and PricewaterhouseCoopers. It was her experience as a senior vice president for the venerable Bowery Savings Bank that indelibly impressed on her how a culture of communication can work magic with employees and customers. The Bowery is long gone now - its parts spread far and wide as part of the consolidation in banking. But for over 175 years, The Bowery had an outsized reputation for its size - all because of its ongoing communications with customers. Jeannette managed the Bank's PR, advertising, promotion, market research and training and development. The CEO believed the most important communications were between a manager and his or her direct report. He was right because employees are the company's face to its customers and training them to be brand advocates elevated the Bank into the same league as the biggest players in the industry.
