With a writing and public relations background, Theresa Hong brings 20 years experience in creating innovative, winning marketing, communications, social media and political campaigns using the power of storytelling through both traditional and non-traditional mechanisms. A proud sci-fi and tech geek, Hong has been fascinated with creative methods of relaying powerful messages ever since she was a little girl staring in awe at the premiere of Star Wars (yes, she said Star Wars). Although the story itself made the seven-year old little girl in pigtails long to be something bigger, it was the communications technology that made the biggest impact. “Someday the telephone will become obsolete,” she thought to herself (and yes, she did, in fact, say “obsolete,” too — she always did love the English language). “Someday, we will ALL communicate through weird devices and machines, with holograms and video — and I’m going to live on Tatooine and marry Han Solo.”

Although she never made it to Tatooine or marry Han Solo, Hong does find satisfaction that the world of communications has transformed into a social media culture, allowing millions of people to share their experiences through computer interfaces, video and a bevy of social media networks. And this is what excites her — the power to create an idea, use her storytelling and instantly dispurse the message to potentially millions of people all over the world.

Hong understands traditional agencies are no longer relevant in this new world and communications are now delivered very differently. By harnessing the power of social media technologies with marketing, public relations and communications campaigns, Hong not only ensures each message is uniquely crafted, but reaches the demographic it needs to touch, aligning with the client’s overall objectives and evoking responses that result in action.
