The Pitch with Amy Summers
A skillful and strategic pitch can land you an interview, new job, promotion, or help you close that next deal. Pitching is a life skill, rooted in the art of communications that can bring you success in business and life. Technology has advanced the way we communicate with each other providing convenience, speed and more reach, but the true art of communication is often sacrificed in the process. “The Pitch” provides skills to help you improve getting your message across more effectively using today’s technology combined with classic communications techniques from Amy Summers, founder of Pitch Publicity® and INICIVOX®, who has more than 20 years experience in the field of public relations as a communications expert and high-performance entrepreneur with a proven track record of pitching success.
Amy Summers’ career unfolded in a rapidly evolving communications landscape. Since 2003 and throughout the 20-year-history at Pitch Publicity®, Amy has executed hundreds of campaigns that have collectively garnered billions of media impressions worldwide. Notably, Summers holds the distinction of being the first publicist to orchestrate live media interviews at both low and high points of the planet: the scientific laboratory Aquarius, situated 63 feet beneath the sea, and the summit of Mount Everest, towering at 21,000 feet above sea level. Her influential career has earned her recognition as a PR News Top Women Awards Honoree in the Business Entrepreneurs category, a testament to her unwavering dedication to the public relations profession.
Summers’ visionary leadership extends far beyond her accomplishments in public relations. As a pioneer in remote work since 2010, she created a virtual internship mentorship program at Pitch Publicity® that has launched more than 50 careers and fostered the growth and success of every young professional who has participated in her program. Building on this momentum and desire to expand her mentorship reach, Summers embarked on a visionary venture in 2020, establishing INICIVOX®, a virtual mentorship platform designed to hone a diverse array of soft skills crucial in today’s intricate communications landscape.
