You get a knowledgeable assistant, and a creative eye in one. By combining my skills I’ve previously grew a mechanics inquiries from 4 calls a month into 240+ a month. Proving how the right systems and creative approach can fuel real results. It’s time to solve your problems, and the ones you didn’t know you had.

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.

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).

Most clients come to me when they feel stuck. - Their socials aren't growing - They don't know what / who their brand is - They can't connect with audiences that actually support them (through purchase, purpose or engagement) My role is to create a bespoke solution because as much as agencies and some marketing professionals would like you to believe - nothing is one size fits all. I'm a jack of many trades: Branding, Content Production, Social Strategy, Camera Coaching, Creator Partnerships, Funnel Building & Content Monetization. Anything I haven't developed a rich experience in is supported by a hand-picked team of extraordinary collaborators I have in Los Angeles. For 10+ years, I've helped struggling thought-leaders, actors, brand founders and content creators adjust course and achieve excellence. I should be clear that I'm guided by some very fundamental ideals that don't resonate with everyone: 1) I believe in conviction. You must polarize with your brand / platform. A point of view is required. I don't mean rage-bait. I don't mean talk politics. I mean be so clearly what you are (as a brand or founder) that people say "Heck yes this is for me." OR "Hell no, this isn't for me." Neutrality is where dreams go to die. 2) You can't survive on an island. Partnerships and relationships are essential. In 2026, the isolationist mentality will not keep your start-up, content career or speaking tour alive. You have to build community. 3) Steady growth. If your focus is on virality or blowing up overnight, we're not a match. Not because I don't enjoy virality (many of my clients have gone viral multiple times - we love it!), but because I always put intention and long-term vision first. We make such great and strategic decisions that virality becomes a sign of the working system. And when we go viral, it's hitting an intentional audience that will actually support the mission. If those values feel aligned. Here's what I help with: • Clarifying brand positioning and messaging • Fixing stalled social growth • Building influencer and ambassador programs • Partnership and sponsorship strategy • Talent positioning and brand alignment • Content direction and ecosystem strategy • Affiliate and creator programs • Growth strategy for DTC and creator-led brands Recent Results: • 2x–6x audience and engagement growth across brands • 400K+ authentic followers generated • 20M+ organic video views • Ambassador programs scaled into the hundreds • Six-figure affiliate programs built from scratch • Hundreds of influencer deals negotiated Message me if you have questions. I'd love to join you on your journey and achieve excellence together.
