Hire the Best Corporate Communications Experts
in the United States

I am a PR and social media expert and founder of Elkordy Global Strategies. Over the past 20+ years, I've worked in both journalism and public relations, helping more than 800 startups, growth-stage companies, nonprofits, government agencies, e-commerce brands, books, and thought leaders raise their visibility, build credibility, and grow their brands. What makes Elkordy Global Strategies different is that we're part newsroom, part PR agency. More than half of our team are former journalists, and I still produce a daily national television news show. We understand what reporters, producers, and editors are looking for because we've been on the other side of the pitch. I've worked with Fortune 500 companies, startups, personal brands, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, technology companies, and executives across nearly every industry. Whether you're launching a company, building your personal brand, securing media coverage, navigating a crisis, or positioning yourself as a thought leader, we know how to get your story in front of the right audience. Our clients have been featured in Fox News, CNN, Bloomberg, NewsNation, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, ABC News, Good Morning America, TODAY, USA Today, The Associated Press, The New York Times, MSNBC, BBC, Sky News, TechCrunch, Mashable, The Hill, CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Real Simple, Al Jazeera, CNN Español, CGTN, Voice of America, and hundreds of other national, international, broadcast, print, and digital media outlets. What can we do for you? We're a one-stop PR shop. We help clients with: • Earned media outreach and media relations • Thought leadership and executive positioning • Personal branding and executive visibility • Social media strategy and management • Content creation and content marketing • Podcast production and guest booking • Speaking opportunities and conference placements • Crisis communications and reputation management • Digital media strategy and execution • Product launches and campaign development • Strategic communications planning and messaging Additional credentials include being a TEDx speaker, a City & State 40 Under 40 honoree, and a 2026 recipient of City & State's Unsung Heroes Award. Elkordy Global Strategies was recognized by PRNEWS as one of the Top PR Firms of 2025, and I have been a featured speaker at DC Startup Week multiple times. I hold an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a Master's degree in Communications and Public Relations from Georgetown University, and most recently completed a Master's degree in International Strategy and Diplomacy from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). If you're looking for a team that understands both the media and business sides of communications, we'd love to help!

Over sixteen years, I've built and scaled Klazema Communications from a solo practice into a fully distributed content marketing agency, one that now runs independently through the systems, processes, and team I put in place. That entrepreneurial foundation gives me a genuine, hands-on understanding of what organizations need to operate well: not just good work, but the infrastructure and leadership to deliver it consistently at scale. Through Helm, my fractional Chief of Staff and operations consultancy, I currently support a General Partner at a venture fund, managing priorities, research, and stakeholder coordination at the executive level. I also lead operations for a digital marketing agency, where I rebuilt the entire project management infrastructure from the ground up: auditing what existed, resolving roughly 500 orphaned tasks, and building the standardized workflows, dashboards, and knowledge base that let a portfolio of 25 to 30 active clients run reliably. I move comfortably between strategy and execution. Whether I'm defining a client's content approach, designing a ClickUp workspace from scratch, or managing the day-to-day priorities of an executive, I bring the same instinct: build the structure that lets good work keep happening without me having to hold it all together by hand. My work has earned a 99% Job Success Score and $300K+ in Upwork earnings across content strategy, project management, operations, and executive support engagements. I bring the same reliability and attention to detail to every project, regardless of scope or industry.

I’ve arranged media coverage of Taylor Swift’s casket (google it for more info); a restaurant’s $615,000 lawsuit against New York City (also easily found on google); and a barber who moonlights as a salami maker (yep, also on google). Since 2020, I’ve arranged over 200 earned media placements in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe (including two front page stories), the New York Post, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, INSIDER, CNN, MSNBC, New York Magazine, Slate, A/V Club, NBC Nightly News, Fast Company, and dozens of other top-tier publications and outlets.

Over the last decade, business has changed fast. Between social media, SEO, PR, and constant shifts in how people discover and trust brands, it’s harder than ever to know what actually works and where to invest your time and money. That’s where I come in. I’ve spent years building and testing strategies across PR, SEO, and business development to help brands grow in ways that actually move the needle. My focus is simple: visibility, credibility, and results. I’ve worked with startups, eCommerce brands, authors, service-based businesses, and even my families own brand to help them gain traction through media placements, search visibility, sales strategies, and strategic positioning. From launching new companies out of stealth to helping established brands reposition themselves in competitive markets, I focus on finding the angles others overlook. My work has been featured across a range of online publications and media platforms, helping clients build authority, rank for competitive search terms, and control how they show up online. Beyond PR, I’ve helped businesses improve their SEO presence, develop content strategies, and create campaigns designed to bring in real leads—not just traffic. I’ve also supported organizations behind the scenes with research, market positioning, and digital strategy to help them make smarter decisions as they grow. What makes me different is that I don’t just stick to one lane. I look at the full picture—PR, SEO, and business development—and connect them in a way that compounds results. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to scale, my goal is to help you grow efficiently and stand out in a crowded market.
