In the ’90s, I was president of the Publicity Club of Chicago. I served on its board of directors six years, served on and chaired nearly every committee, won distinguished service awards and a Silver Trumpet, and met some amazing colleagues who are now friends.
One of these dear women is Christine Esposito, founder of Terracom Public Relations in Chicago.
Because I can, right here in my treasured space, I am blowing a Golden Trumpet in honor of Terracom’s 20th year in environmental public relations. As Earth Day hits 40 this month, Christine hits 20 green years. Happy Anniversary, Lady!
Christine is one of the most vibrant women and consummate professionals within our trade. Why she impresses me has much to do with her moxie in self-promotion. As a SMB, marketing is a challenging task we all love to hate; Christine makes it go as smooth as silk.
- She’s been pitching stories about herself to Chicago media; I even flagged her mention in U.S. News & World Report as a spokesperson on green, recently.
- She launched a Facebook fan page I encourage you to join.
- She became a Twitter pal, and we are frequently connected.
- She just launched her latest installment in celebratory marketing with a video (accessible on Facebook with link above) — putting herself in front of a camera to wax poetic about the founding and growth of her business over 20 years.
Today, I gift unto you deserved recognition, Ms. Esposito, for your two decades as a successfully green and sustainable womenpreneur, colleague and friend. Congrats!
Warm and sincere thanks, Jayme! Because of colleagues, sounding boards and cheerleaders like you, I’ve been able to tap a powerful pool of resources along the way. And without folks (and characters) like you, this odyssey wouldn’t be half as fun!
While some dabble, you do it for real. Glad I’m on the path along your/our journey, Christine!
