Working as public relations director and publishing consultant on acclaimed scientist Stephen Wolfram’s groundbreaking bestseller, A NEW KIND OF SCIENCE, we helped articulate the basic tenets of Wolfram’s seminal theory to the media and develop the self-published book’s entire publishing strategy. Its impact remains 20 years later.
From history and current affairs to science and technology to social science to counterintuitive ideas that provoke debate and change. Obtaining significant attention requires knowing how to tell the story--and how the story will be retold.
Getting media attention means knowing what people in the media need to get their job done. As a result, Mike Berland's book, FAT-BURNING MACHINE received distinctively different coverage on Good Morning America, in The New York Times and in an unprecedented three-part, ten full-page series in the New York Post.
Before, during and after its launch, Wolfram|Alpha (the knowledge engine that informs both Alexa and Siri) received a full year of continuous worldwide media and public attention and year-end accolades.
We communicate about brands without making them sound "by committee," Why? Because people in the media don't do "deliverables."
From working on the most acclaimed cookbooks that remain in print to convincing food legend M.F.K. Fisher to endorse an important cookbook that benefited to charity, to writing for The New York Post about food's intersection with TV and pop culture to creating demos that sell the product, I have a deep knowledge of the field.
JOHN G. EKIZIAN is a New York based marketing and media relations consultant who has worked on a diverse range of projects in areas including book publishing, technology, entertainment, science, politics, advertising, consumer brands, food and design. And he never describes anything as "awesome."
Throughout his career, Ekizian has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to communicate the significance of each client’s work or product to both the general public and members of the media.
His work on the media side of the business as both a freelance journalist and a public relations consultant for national magazines has given him additional insight into how to formulate a pitch that will resonate with journalists and their editors.
Ekizian devised the brand message and copywriting for the launch of the fast/slow restaurant concept, Foumami. Recent speechwriting and copywriting assignments include work for Porsche and Walton Isaacson. Ekizian's implementation of a social media strategy for perennial New York Times bestselling romance author, Jude Deveraux challenged the prevailing "wisdom" that authors should talk at--not with--their readers.
Ekizian has written on a freelance basis about television, pop culture and food for the New York Post and other national outlets. Topics have ranged from the return of roller derby to backstage at The Food Network's Chopped to the near-implosion of Scientology's influence in Hollywood.
Prior to forming The J.G. Ekizian Agency , Ekizian was a marketing and publicity director in book publishing for companies including Simon & Schuster/Free Press/Pocket Books, William Morrow And Harper Collins/Regan Books.
