About

"The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses." - Malcolm X   PR can often be overlooked in creative spaces. There is a strong need for earned-first creativity across today's media landscape. I am a strong representative of the industry and seek to showcase creativity through my unique lived experiences alongside other creative professionals from all walks of life.    My name is Emmanuel Reid, a master storyteller in consumer public relations. I'm in this profession to raise the collective consciousness of my community by having a hand in helping publish the stories that drive impact. I support the world's top brands get into the places that matter to them most.    I am an Account Executive at Ogilvy Chicago and New York, one of the world's leading creative communication firms. During my tenure since 2020, I have served various consumer brands across the hospitality, home appliances, financial services, and retail fashion/lifestyle industries. I consider myself a jack of many trades, with experience in media relations, account management, and strategic planning.   Prior to joining Ogilvy, I began my career in public relations at a financial communications firm in Boston. I also served at a service-driven PR agency in Chicago where I supported various community-oriented organizations that provide service and advocacy for individuals in need across the Chicago area.   I am results driven and strive to see my clients innovate change through creative marketing and effective storytelling to drive systemic change. Equally, I strive to support disenfranchised communities by connecting them to my clients through in-person activations and online stories, so that the masses be equipped with the tools and information to know what is moving the world around them, and how they can be impacted.
