March 6, 2004 (Press Release) --
Los Angeles, CA —Vice President George McQuade, MAYO Communications, a Los Angeles full service public relations firm will speak at the Los Angeles Dept. of Power and Water auditorium
March 17, 2004, at Noon, on “creating a buzz for your business."
“It is literally the last thing new startups and big corporations think about, but when a crisis strikes
or when the media is interested investigating a CEO or company, they’re often unprepared,” said
McQuade, who specializes media training and media placement and who earned five PRSA awards in 2003.
As vice president of new business and media relations, Mc Quade and his staff earned “Best Media Placement-Print,” “Best Public Affairs Campaign,” and “Best Media Kits,” from the Public Relations Society of America, PRSA, where he served as a board member for four years.
Since January 2000, McQuade has been the West Coast Bureau Chief for Jack O’Dwyer Publications, an inside report on publicity, public relations and agencies in the U.S. He was previously the Media Relations Director at Cerrell Associates, Inc, a leading public affairs and political lobbying independent firm in Los Angeles. He currently serves as a board member on the Entertainment Publicists Professional Society in LA.
MAYO Communications, a public relations and publicity firm was co-founded by McQuade, where he led a successful media campaign to convince the MTA to provide the funds needed to complete the 710 Freeway project. In 1998, McQuade launched Linux Mandrake Operating Software on the same day RedHat (1st distributor) went public. Stocks skyrocketed from $9 a share to $109 in two hours.
During 1992, McQuade covered numerous police and city hall stories as a radio and TV news reporter and anchorman in both Washington State and California. He also worked in TV and radio news, providing live reports from his L.A. City Hall office on everything from earthquakes that had damage the historical buildings to the Rodney King beating and the firing of Police Chief Daryl Gates.
Later, he became a network correspondent, covering the stories such as the Rodney King LAPD officer’s beating trial live to L.A. Riots that followed for UPI Radio, AP, NBC and CBS radio Networks and the aftermath for KNX and KFI. He covered many high profile stories for NBC Mutual News from LA. On his days off he worked for ABC Entertainment Radio Network. McQuade was also one of two original writers for “Today In LA, Weekends,” at KNBC-TV Ch. 4, which was the first 90-minute weekend newscast in the LA Market in 1992.
