I’m Sami Saad, a public relations consultant with over five years of experience in media relations and corporate communications. I began my career as an intern on a successful California state senate campaign, where I discovered a passion for strategic communication and started honing my skills in community outreach.

After earning my political science degree, I worked at some of the world’s top communications firms, supporting a diverse range of clients, from startups to global brands. I’ve led earned media campaigns, built executive thought leadership programs, and secured placements in top-tier outlets including Forbes, CNBC, and the Los Angeles Times.

Today, I lead media partnerships at PR Newswire, the world’s largest press release distribution network. I’ve helped grow our audience reach by more than 25 million through strategic collaborations with publishers across industries.

I’m also the co-host of Media Coffee, Cision’s monthly podcast, where I interview prominent journalists and explore the evolving landscape of media and public relations.

Beyond my work in communications, I’m a musician, history buff, and traveler.
