If ever there were a Chief Creative Officer, Tami would be it. She leads MarketAbility's PR Team, participates in our client's Creative Sessions, speaks nationally on how to get better results in book marketing, teaches MX TeleConferences, and leads the MarketAbility team of cohorts toward clearly seeing our vision, achieving our goals, and having a ton of fun.

She has a background in all facets of marketing: advertising, merchandising, promotion, sales and customer service, and of course PR. Tami received her bachelor's of science in business administration with a concentration in marketing from Colorado State University.

In 1993, she founded YOU & MEdia Public Relations, and soon merged with MarketAbility, expanding the new company to provide full-service marketing. Together with her "other better half" Kim they have fine-tuned their business into book marketing. Tami's labor of love is MAXIMUM EXPOSURE Marketing System -- our book marketing training program for publishers who expect (and deserve) unlimited results on limited budgets.

"While the rest of the world is pulled toward the impersonality of email like Night of the Living Dead characters to live flesh, I still love chatting with authors and publishers, working together to develop legendary promotion strategies that will make them as desirable to the media as food in a press kit," Tami says.

"Where the media is concerned, nothing beats sharing a cup (or two!) of coffee, discussing what they look for in stories and how our clients will be a shining part of their most celebrated stories of the year."
