Ryan McCormick has created exciting and dynamic public relations campaigns for entertainment, non-profit, and corporate clients. He personally has appeared on behalf of his clients on ABC News, Fox News, CBS-TV, and NBC-TV.

Ryan has a unique relationship with the media because he is one of them at heart. A former Senior Producer for CBS, Assistant Editor for the Long Island Business News, and Production Assistant for K-Rock, he has the “chops” to know what the media is looking for…and how to best position his clients with them.

Feeling challenged by his partner (he being the one of the 600 placements in one year), Ryan helped Media Training Worldwide break the Guinness World Record for “The Most Radio Interviews within 24 Hours” (112 worldwide). The event was broadcast live on FoxNews.com. McCormick also set the Guinness World Record for the “Most Consecutive Hours Ever Worked by a Publicist.”

McCormick is a member of several key industry organizations and is a graduate of Florida State University.
