When It Matters...

The J.G. Ekizian Agency has a tremendous track record of collaborating with smart and accomplished people in order to present significant, fresh ideas to the public.  We've worked with organizations including every major book publisher, The American Lung Association, The Christopher Reeve Foundation, The Gap, HBO, Lexus, The Mayo Clinic, National Review, Neiman Marcus, Nickelodeon, Porsche, Real Simple, The Stanford Center on Adolescence, Time, Inc., Walton Isaacson, Whirlpool, and Wolfram Research. Clients have included James Earl Jones and Jennifer Garner, renowned thinkers in tech and science including David Gelernter and Stephen Wolfram, and opinion makers from across the political spectrum.

Complex Ideas Don't Scare Us...

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 anticipating how the story will be retold. And we never descibe anything as "awesome."

What Have We Done Lately?

Mike Donlin by Steve Steinberg and Lyle Spatz, which chronicles the life of the early 20th century New York Giants superstar and matinee idol,  has just received a 2025 Sporting News/SABR Award for Baseball research.

Lasting Impact...

Sustained Attention

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 attention along with year-end accolades.

Perfect Pitch

Getting media attention means knowing what specific 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. 

Talking TED

Georgette F. Bennett, founder of the Multifaith Alliance of Syrian Refugees was our third client to address TED's annual international conference. 

A Self-Publishing Breakthrough

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.

Talking Food

From working on acclaimed cookbooks to convincing food legend M.F.K. Fisher to endorse an important charity-oriented cookbook to writing for The New York Post about food's intersection with TV and pop culture. 

Both Sides of the Media Aisle

Working on both the publicity and media sides of the equation has given us invaluable experience in identifying what journalists and producers will need to do a story—and to sell it to their boss.  

Smarter Social Media

Our 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. 

Editorial Content

Looking to Publish or Social Publish?

We collaborate with authors to give them a candid, thoroughgoing edit of their books that will better position them with reviewers, readers, and the media.  

Opinion Writing

Whether you're trying to convey something that you're passionate about, make a political point, or increase your business profile, we'll work with you to refine what you've written. Or draft it from whole cloth. 

Audience-Centric Speechwriting

Before we suggest a single word, we double down on the most common mistake  that speakers and panelists make: failing to read the room in advance.
