1. What do you most like about PR?

Being able to make a difference - from shaping a story to improving the value of a company.

2. What is your favorite charitable cause?

FACETS, for families and individuals who are homeless in Fairfax County.

Since I dreamt it up over a good bottle of Muscadet!

Cathy Palmen

Vice President

1. What do you most like about PR?

I love to send emails with the subject line: Coverage.  Everything else is important, but at the end of the day, this is what clients want to see.

2. What is your favorite charitable cause?
 

My daughters and I belong to the National Charity League, a philanthropy group that gives back to the local community.  One recent project involved providing new pillows to a women's shelter, we decorated the pillowcases with inspirational quotes.

3. What's your favorite food?

Anything Italian. I really enjoy cooking and eating, and love to try different foods.

Becky Obbema

Porsche Carrera, convertible

2. What do you most like about PR? 

Building and growing strong relationships with new reporters and analysts for my clients.

3. Where in the world would you most like to travel to and why?

The coastal towns in Europe along the Mediterranean Ocean

Renee Ayer

Account Manager

1. What do you most like about PR?

I still get a big charge out of making things happen for clients, from the everyday 'hit' to helping to change the direction and futures of their companies.

2. If you could meet anyone living or dead who would it be and why?

If I could know I could have an unguarded conversation, I'd want to spend time with Elie Wiesel, Georgia O'Keefe, Ghandi, Hunter Thompson, Oscar Wilde, and the Yates sisters who married conjoined twins Chang and Eng Bunker in 1843.

3. What do you like most about Interprose?

Interprose always moves in a positive direction. The agency is about moving forward, making things happen for the client in an intelligent way and in collaboration with its clients, each other and the press and analysts.

Laurie Bowser-Sever

Account Manager

1. What do you most like about PR?

Being able to create and deliver strategic business value for my clients.

2. What's your favorite charitable cause?

Children's hospitals...they do such great work.

3. What's your favorite food?

My mom's homemade spaghetti and meatballs...

Melissa Drozdowski

Account Manager
1. What do you most like doing in your spare time?

I love to read. If I'm not reading, you'll find me on my computer, playing online games like World of Warcraft, or hitting my favorite social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

2. If you could meet anyone living or dead who would it be and why?

It's so difficult to select a single individual. Jimmy Buffet, Walter Elias Disney, Mark Twain, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jane Austen, Frank Sinatra, Madeleine L'Engle, Nat King Cole, JFK...the list goes on and on.

3. What do you like most about Interprose?

The people. I have never had the privilege of being part of something so wonderful as Interprose. Our team genuinely enjoys working with one another and I think our team dynamic is one that some Fortune 500 companies would give their last dollar to be able to achieve. I marvel daily at my amazing colleagues.
 

Amy Foschetti

Account Manager

1. If you could drive any kind of car what would it be?

A blue convertible BMW.

2. What's your favorite food?

Mexican food.

3. What do you like most about Interpose?

THE TEAM - can't find a better group of people to work with.

Jill Miley

Account Manager
1. What do you most like about PR?

I like learning new technologies, meeting clients, understanding their needs and using all that information to define and create new ways to communicate their story. Every day is different and challenging and keeps you on your toes, as nothing in the IT world stays the same for long. On the press and analyst side, I like getting to know them. I admire what they do. Creating and matching a new story angle with a journalist and an analyst is extremely rewarding because everybody wins.

2. If you could drive any kind of car what would it be?

A mint condition 1967 convertible Mustang.

3. If you could meet anyone living or dead who would it be and why?

Mick Jagger, because I've loved the Rolling Stones since I was a kid, and I'd like to thank him (and the band, of course) for how happy he has made me over the years.

Melissa Power

Account Manager

1. What do you most like about PR?

I love the excitement that each new client brings. Being able to help put their company on the map, or improve their position on the map, is unbeatable.


2. What's your favorite food?

Chocolate.


3. What do you like most about Interprose?

The incredible team of people. Every member is so supportive and encouraging and ALWAYS available to lend a hand, brainstorm a new creative idea, help figure out a challenging situation, or just listen.

Minu Seshasayee

Account Manager
1. What do you most like about PR?

Media relations, specifically the ability to successfully and objectively shape and influence a story from the messaging stage to the controlled twists and turns on the way, ultimately resulting in positive coverage for clients.

2. Where in the world would you most like to travel to and why?

Andaman Islands by the Indian Ocean in Asia, since it is one of the few tropical islands that supposedly offers a true Robinson Crusoe experience. Known for the empty crescents of powdery sand, fringed by untouched coral reefs, this appeals to my senses.

3. What do you like most about Interprose?

The notion that I can make a difference to the company in a trusting team environment and be heard, thanks to the company's open policy and non-hierarchical structure.

Eric Nance Woehler

Writer

1. What do you most like doing in your spare time?

I have no shortage of spare-time interests (reading about NFL history, collecting LPs and baking pastries, for example), but my favorite is driving state and U.S. highways to small towns and listening to AM radio with my wife and daughter in the car.


2. What do you most like about PR?


When it's done right, PR is about telling somebody's good story accurately.


3. What's your favorite food?

Butter.
