JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Aug. 22, 2024) — Public relations and thought leadership marketing agency Reputation Ink has promoted Marja Martinez to account manager. She joined the agency as an account coordinator in August 2022.
Before making the switch to PR, Martinez was an Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist. Her journalism career allowed her the opportunity to chase tornadoes in Texas, document protests in Portland, Oregon, and report live in Spanish and English for ABC World News Now, FOX Business Network, MundoFOX, Telemundo and Univision.
Over the past two years, Martinez has used the skills she honed as a reporter to help Reputation Ink’s architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) clients define and promote their brands to build credibility with stakeholders.
“Clients have really come to value and appreciate working with Marja, and we’ve seen her grow in her ability to connect with subject matter experts on a personal level, putting them at ease,” said Michelle Calcote King, Reputation Ink’s principal and president. “She’s earned our clients’ trust by being a dependable resource and has secured them many top-tier media placements.”
Behind the scenes, Martinez has also helped train new team members, taking the time to improve the agency's internal processes while growing her leadership skills. She actively seeks out opportunities to contribute to Reputation Ink’s mission and vision beyond agency work and, in doing so, demonstrates the team's shared values and commitment to excellence.
“Marja is incredibly diligent when researching and learning the ins and outs of our clients’ work,” said Steven Gallo, director of content and PR. “She understands how engineers and architects communicate, the technical complexities of their work, what industry awards and publications actually matter, and how to build relationships with influential editors and journalists. She's become an invaluable asset to our team.”
