CMW Media, the leading PR agency for the emerging natural products industries, has expanded its public relations team with the addition of three new team members. The agency has hired Mary Borstelman and Nathaniel Geoghegan as Account Coordinators. Additionally, Tory Patterson has been brought on as an Account Director.
“CMW is expanding as rapidly as our key client market,” said CEO, Andrew Hard. “With these new recruits we will not only secure more coverage for our current clients but continue growing the company into its potential.”
Tory Patterson brings nearly a decade of experience at notable global PR agencies to the team. She developed, managed and executed strategic PR and content campaigns for premier companies such as SunEdison, Edmunds.com, thinkThin, Nutiva, and Thermo Fisher just to name a few. Tory’s expertise includes strategic media relations, targeting journalists with customized approaches and “consumerizing” brand message while maintaining relevance in today’s evolving media landscape. These skills have led her to secure relationships worth top-tier media including Forbes, Fast Company, CBNC, Bloomberg, TIME and more. At CMW, Tory will help oversee agency operations, support new business development and work on a variety of the company’s premier pharmaceutical, cannabis and biotech clients.
