The MoPR Blog

Mobility Public Relations (MoPR) has added to our growing team with three new members: Senior Account Executive John Chilson and Associate Account Executives Grace Saad and Tamara Parker.

Chilson has more than a dozen years experience as a journalist and editor, most notably in the IT press, as well as work as Communications Director for Build It Green, a non-profit California organization. 

For MoPR, the senior account executive brings his technology and journalism skills to support MoPR clients.

Grace Saad, a recent magna cum laude graduate of Mississippi State University, recently moved across the country for a summer internship with Mount Hood National Forest in the Zigzag Ranger District.

Throughout college Saad gained PR experience through internships, extracurricular activities and part-time jobs.

Saad’s tradition of taking the lead continued as she acted as the PR director for McComas Hall Theatre, in addition to performing in almost every production she publicized.

When it comes to working for MoPR, Saad has quickly learned the ins and outs of mobile technology .

Tamara Parker also made a big move to join the MoPR team. Graduating from Baylor University in Waco, Texas, Parker moved to Portland in November and began her work with MoPR in early December.

Before joining MoPR, Parker was an executive assistant at Red McCombs Media in Austin, Tex., where she formed a promotional campaign for the company’s new Web site, Faithvine.com.

Her internships and previous employment make Parker an excellent addition to the MoPR team, and she is just as excited as we are to be working in the mobility and wireless space.

Here at Mobility PR we deal with mobility through the world of technology. We focus on the anytime, anywhere, and anyhow of the business. My brother-in-law provides this same service for his clients, but his methods require a pretty different outlet.

Allow me to explain.

Chris provides training to those with special needs or physical handicaps that make it difficult for them to travel, primarily on public transportation. His focus is to help those who require extra assistance become more mobile, something we often take for granted.

This got me thinking.

There are so many different ways to interpret mobility, but in the end they all come down to one thing; accessibility. I love the business that I’m in. I think it’s a pretty fantastic concept of being mobile 24/7, and I especially love being able to help others do so. Chris feels the exact same way. The work he does for his clients’ rewards them with the gift of mobility 24/7, as well. So even though we have two very different jobs, we still share that common thread.

Because you know, it’s a great world out there. And everyone should have access to it.

Signing off for now,

Tamara Parker
