Making Things Better, Public Relations and Communications

Hi, I'm Robert Leary.

Robert Leary's Bio:

Let's Fix That. You know what "that" is, but just can't figure out the "how". That's what I do. Troubleshoot with you and find a way to fix it ASAP. I love what I do. Helping organizations, small businesses, and individuals communicate truth in a way that can be understood by their public is exciting and rewarding. It is my opinion that we are living in a new world of corporate and organizational communications. This industry is changing more now than ever before (certainly not since radio and/or TV were introduced to the world). In this current age of corporate "psycho-babble" and non-sensical made-up words that attempt to seem smart but only confuse the audience more, I believe that it is up to communicators to cut through the garbage and give people what they really need and want - clarity! Be nice to your audiences - pay attention to your clients - don't abuse your customers - always tell the truth - use discretion - take on the needs of your "user" as your own. Shameless SEO trick: Robert Leary (I'm happy to explain...it's what I do!)

Robert Leary's Experience:

  • Director of University Marketing and Communications at Multnomah University

  • Outside Sales Leader at The Columbian

    2000 - 2004

    Recruited, hired, trained, and retained record-setting sales teams for this mid-sized regional newspaper. Customer satisfaction and trouble-shooting were specialties that helped us set records for sales that still stand to this day.

  • Student Recruiter and PR Representative at Business Computer Training Institute

    1999 - 2000

    Recruited and counseled students interested in changing their careers who also needed to learn new computer and business skills. Note: This company went out of business several years after I left due to Federal financial aid fraud and general lack of accounting honesty.

  • Intramural Tournaments Coordinator at Western Washington University

    September 1998 - June 1999

    Led and organized various sports tournaments out of the P.E. department for students at the University. I hired referees, trained set-up crews, managed rankings, assisted the department director with publicity and resolved student conflicts.

  • Principal Partner at Leary Consulting

    You probably know what's wrong, but you just don't know how to actually fix it. It probably has to do with the realities of the web and all the PR, Marketing, and Communications implications therein. That's where I come in. Let's trouble shoot this thing and fix it. If I can't, I have people who can. www.learyconsulting.com Fixing things, it's what we do.
