SBS Comms ’s Post

We’re proud of our ongoing fellowship program that provides a mix of college grads and folks looking for a career change hands-on experience in communications and PR. In six short months, our fellows become strategic communicators and real assets to some of the most interesting companies in technology. 🧠 Olivia Garcia recently wrapped up her fellowship, and this is what she had to share: “My fellowship at SBS was an incredible experience. I had very limited knowledge and experience with PR agencies before joining SBS, and I remember being so awestruck watching my colleagues secure hit after hit in top publications while gracefully balancing dozens of other projects. Six months later, I can conclude I’ve learned so much and am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to take on tasks that helped me grow – from writing pitches to coordinating speaking opportunities for clients to presenting in front of the company. I’m thrilled to continue working alongside such an encouraging and brilliant crew of PR specialists.” We are beyond excited to welcome Olive to the crew full time as an account coordinator. We can’t wait to see what she does next! 👏

Double the anniversaries means double the celebrations. Today, we’re celebrating a fabulous four years with Vice President, Kelsey Rondenet, and Director, Brittany Catucci! Whether running accounts, leading our People function, mentoring our staff, or lending her keen eye for detail to our annual retreat planning, Kelsey exemplifies the pinnacle of professionalism in PR, radiating grace and thoughtfulness in every project or task she touches. Brittany wears many hats at SBS - always impressing us with her creative storytelling chops, unwavering organization, and empathetic leadership. Her clients and teams are constantly in awe of her tenacity, diligence and sense of humor. Join us in wishing Kelsey and Britt a very happy anniversary!

Summer slow down? We’ve never heard of it. ☀️ We’re excited to announce three new members of the team at SBS Comms: Megan Day joining us as a Senior Account Manager, Haley E. joining as an Account Manager, and Brady Lauer joining us as an Account Executive. 💥 Megan joins SBS Comms from San Francisco. With 5 years of experience in the world of tech PR, she has worked with companies across a variety of industries, from enterprise software to the future of work. Outside of the office, you’ll find Megan at Crissy Field Beach with her golden retriever Bodie, reading a good book, and eating frozen yogurt year round. Hailing from Chicago (but a Bay Area girl at heart!), Haley has helped manage clients across a wide variety of industries including insurance, health, wellness, and sports. She brings unique experience centered around media relations, social media management, strategy development and thoughtful face-to-face client relations. Previous clients include AON Insurance, First Midwest Bank, The Coca-Cola Company, The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, and more. When she's not at her desk, Haley probably has ESPN on in the background while she's working out or relaxing on the couch with a strong cappuccino in-hand. Also in the San Francisco crew, Brady joins after spending the past three years supporting some of the biggest and most innovative companies in the country within the consumer technology and fintech industries, including Amazon, TurboTax, and Notion. When he's not working, you can find him catching up on all things Bravo, exercising, enjoying a glass of wine with his friends, and finding any excuse to be outside.

This July, our SBS for Good donation goes to The Glenn Garcelon Foundation behalf of Kristina Bannan, Director on our OnBoard team. “My husband had multiple surgeries to remove 98% of a benign brain tumor. Even with the best medical staff and support system, juggling recovery, life, and work is incredibly daunting,” Kristy shares. “The GGF, in partnership with the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA) provides grants to support brain tumor patients and families—everything from rehab to groceries. Thank you for supporting SBS!” The Glenn Garcelon Foundation exists to improve the quality of life of brain tumor survivors, caregivers and their families by providing emotional and financial support. Grants have been used to cover the cost of mortgage payments, rent, insurance, co-pays, deductibles, groceries, utilities, specialized equipment, treatment related travel and lodging expenses, and more – all things that most of us take for granted every day.
