WARNING: Past performance is not indicative of future results. I cannot guarantee media coverage of your business, organization, or cause. With that said, 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. DM me to have a 15 minute conversation about getting PR for your business - or better yet book a 30 minute consultation!

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.

I've worked with Fortune 500 companies, startups, personal brands, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, technology companies, and executives across nearly every industry.

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.
