Nice to meet you.
When you partner with Planit, a Baltimore marketing communications firm, you get to work with some of the country’s brightest, bravest, most passionate problem solvers. And we’re genuinely proud of what we do. Maybe that’s why we get along so well.
Some people look for places to be creative, others make creative spaces. Welcome to my house. (Please excuse the mess)
As the Public Relations Director at Planit, I have my ear to the ground on what’s trending in the news. I have a passion for crafting irresistible story angles, pitching media and earning great coverage for clients.
My articles
Raise the bar high enough that you can go under it.
Is there such a thing as ambidextrous-brained? Because I enjoy creative problem solving and making data-driven decisions. I’m of the mindset that there is always a solution, and I promise to work with you until we find it. When I’m not working, I’m most likely updating my 100-year-old Baltimore row home or scouting for vintage treasures at flea markets or auctions.
When I’m not stuffing my face with French fries or baked potatoes, I’m attempting to make clients’ visual dreams come true. From digital to print to interactive, you can find me behind the scenes creating and Art Directing (and eating potatoes).
My thinking face is my worried face and my worried face is my thinking face. Don’t let it fool you – I’m actually just deciding which plane ticket I’m gonna buy at happy hour.
From New York to Paris, São Paulo to Sydney… the WORLD is my oyster. My clients are the pearls, and I treat them like the priceless gems they are. I fashion marketing plans that devour the competition with a slurp and a little mignonette. Bon appétit!
I’m a content poppin’, action-oriented Website QA Specialist who loves helping make website dreams come true in a quality fashion— wait, this link is broken!
Converting “problems” into opportunities
I’m always looking at trends on social media, so my phone is glued to my hand. The good news is I’ll see your email the second it comes in!
Sweet enthusiast and lover of basset hounds. Life’s a game. Gotta live, you know?
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” —Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller
Telling a story is one thing, but crafting and casting the story around for everyone to connect to, now that’s some real magic.
Enter Invoices? Order Drinks? Sending that annoying email everyday to enter your time? I’m your girl!
I like puzzles, and I see getting clients’ press coverage as just that! No matter the story, I’m here to put the puzzle together from start to finish. Oh, and I’m a cat lady. I’ve even gone so far as to get my cat, Portia, featured in The New York Times.
Data-driven storyteller, with an absolute love for simplifying complex, time-consuming processes. I live by the KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid) principle, with the goal to make everyone ?
I check to ensure everything is said in precisely the right way. Then I double check. And then I triple check. That’s gotta be like, a couple hundred checks, right?
Planit’s local travel junkie! I’ve been to 20+ countries and am always looking to add to my list. When I’m not slinging highlighters and building to-do lists, you can catch me planning my next trip or finding a restaurant with my favorite international cuisine. Travel tips? I’m your girl!
Account guru who’s inspired by all things creative. Digital enthusiast with an obsession for new local finds, funky music, hot yoga and chopped salad.
A seasoned gardener in an ever-changing media landscape.
Are you tired of the typical agency process? My vision for changing the way clients see agencies has resulted in unprecedented new business and growth for Planit. I am a master of disruption and I aim to pull you out of your comfort zone. Brand pillars are a joke. Let me scare you—respectfully—and show you what an emotional connection to your audience is all about.
My articles.
If you need research, I’m your girl! I’ll pour endlessly over the Internet until I find just what you’re looking for, then somehow condense pages of notes into the cutest summary ever.
“Tell the truth, but make the truth fascinating.” – David Ogilvy
I create and break things online…some days I break more than I create.
Planit is the kind of agency where you can “choose your own adventure” as a creative, and I think this is why we are such a good match—I’m not very good at “routine.” Being able to jump around from web design, animation, video, and photography really helps me keep the work fresh and forces me to constantly evolve as a creative. Being surrounded by fun, talented people every day is just icing on the cake.
Isn’t graphic design the thing where you look at fonts for 3 hours straight to match a vibe?
My mission is to promote our client’s stories and obtain placements for them that target appropriate audiences. I once dreamed of being a professional athlete or a member of a boy band…then reality hit.
If I’m not herding numbers, goats, or my child you can find me with a ticket stub in my hand.
I apologize. I just ate your low-hanging fruit and drank your Kool-Aid. I leveraged your synergies and funded your crowds. I led your thoughts, adopted you early, and hung out in your cloud. My long tail was wrapped all the way around your disruptive, holistic approach. Oh, and I broke your clutter. Sorry.

“They don’t pay you a million dollars for two-hand chest passes.” – Pistol Pete Maravich
My articles.
Uncovering stories is my talent, telling them is my passion. Who you are, what you do, what you stand for, where you came from, where you’re going, or the road that got you there – you have endless stories waiting to be told. Let me dig them up. Oh and, I have a Diet Coke addiction.
Thanks for swiping right! My ideal partner – Knows how to VLOOKUP Turn On’s – International adventuring, battling ninjas, I used to have a keyboard with a button which did nothing except open the Windows calculator Turn Off’s – People who are discourteous, expense reports with no receipts attached, Flat-Earthers Favorite Movie – I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but “The Untouchables” because, when you really break it down, the accountant is the bad-ass hero who brings down Capone My Ideal Date – I like to crunch numbers on the beach, at the club, or at home in some sweatpants
I work like I play music – at 200 beats per minute. I spend most my weekends playing guitar in basements and dive bars. And yes, it’s as glamorous as it sounds.
With a background in creative and operations, I strive to create balance in, well, the chaos. I approach every challenge with an open mind, enthusiasm to learn, and would rather ask for forgiveness than permission. I’m a homebody at heart who loves all things Bravo, Bachelor, and the Great British Baking Show.
John Tesch is a very underrated musician. And so is Adam.

I kick ass on and off the Internet.
“Made up of sugar, spice, and everything nice,” said no one ever about me. I’m witty, I make to-do lists, and I get the job done—no matter what it takes.
You can always count on me to look at the positives in any situation! If I’m not out and about, I’m at home whipping up new recipes and getting overly excited about new kitchen gadgets. Who doesn’t love an air fryer?!
Not all accountants wear pocket protectors and carry calculators. I love an opportunity to bring the numbers to life to tell a story. The numbers are the numbers and they have a lot to say sometimes.
You got content? I’ve got a bucket for it. I’ll plan out your social content months in advanced—one spreadsheet at a time, while simultaneous listening to Taylor Swift.
Every pixel tells a tale. To post, or not to post, the greatest question of our generation.
Just call me Cupid. I have a passion for building relationships between my clients, journalists and their audiences. The key to building any good relationship? Be a great listener, make sure all parties are interested, and timing is everything.
My hair is capable of doing a lot of different things.
The long game requires vision. The short game demands adaptability. I play both – building friendships (not followers) for brands. Go Bills!
I’m like a connoisseur of dry shampoo, so I’m really picky. – Khloe Kardashian
A process-junkie with a passion for partnerships. Works to elevate your brand and identify the best way to meet clients’ business goals and objectives. Must have at least one hug a day.
I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100%…that girl with multiple lists, highlighters, Excel spreadsheets, and coffee. Lots of coffee. I’m committed to helping our clients meet their business objectives with authentic, creative, and smart strategies. Fun fact: I once tore the ligaments in my ankle breakdancing to Jock Jams.
The only thing I love more than sharing Instagram stories of my dogs is building your brand through targeted social strategy and effective media coverage. Let’s get likes!
I feel like my Oma said it best when she described my job, “she makes pretty pictures.”
I know five languages and can’t speak a single one.
A double threat in the worlds of project management and design. I have 1,000 different colored pens, spreadsheets on spreadsheets, and I’m not afraid to use ’em!
I am the rudder and Ed is the sail. I love the speed. I enjoy the adventure. I like the rough waters as much as the calm seas. Ultimately my job is to keep an eye on the horizon and keep the agency on course. I focus all my energies on Planit so my team can focus on you.
My articles.
“I’ve seen a lot of great things come out of St. Louis. Toasted ravioli, pork steaks, Provel® cheese. But aside from me and Nelly, the hardest working, smartest, nicest, most innovative person to come out of St. Louis is Matt Ryan. Baltimore, you’re lucky to have him. I know because I’m Jon Hamm.” – Jon Hamm
Cat person by day, and also by night.
Master organizer, keeper of facts, and wizard of all things detailed. And yes, these are my sassy pants!
Self-motivated, passionate, Gemini who specializes in media planning, execution, and reporting. I first asked Santa for a laptop with Photoshop when I was 3 (and was assured he could have built one, but the other kids would get jealous!).
I’m a pressure pen pushing pixel perfectionist. Paid per pleasantly presenting pretty pictures, probably pondering pepperoni pizza.
Data detective. Human advocate.
The name’s Nutz. We’ll give you two (big) guesses why. You’ll usually find him squirrelling around the kitchen or ferreting out the last double espresso IPA from wayyyyy in the back of the beer fridge. With a smile on his face and a copy of “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” tucked under his adorable little arm.
No ifs, ands, or putts.
Unexpected ideas. Strong executions. Even stronger coffee. They’re how and why I get up in the morning.
Ditched traditional video for a vertical perspective, ready to capture content anytime, anywhere.
The organized chaos of my brain is a lethal combo of big picture prowess and sweating the tiniest details. You can find me generating creative ideas that push way past client expectations, finessing the perfect kerning, and forever correcting the use of hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes.
Coming soon…
I think it was Dumbledore who first spoke of me. He wrote, “a pseudo-man would be delivered to this Planit to practice the dark arts of consumer persuasion and shape shift user behaviors garnering for his contemporaries the stacks of cheddar they seek. You’re a wizard, Ryan.”

In a sea of horses, choose to be a unicorn. I’m a self-described news addict, social media maven and dream chaser. As a PR & Social Media Supervisor, I have a passion for sniffing out a great story angle, figuring out how and where to strategically tell it, and simultaneously downing copious amounts of coffee…all of the coffee.
“Knowing is better than wondering. Waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying.” -Dr. Meredith Grey
Dreaming up designs for your next dynamic campaign fueled by good coffee and tunes.
Muhahahahaha…
Every single day I try to look as handsome as I can. When I’m not doing that, I use my fingers to tell stories that are as interesting as possible. Planit lets me do that. Our clients do, too. Aces.
A man without hand is no man. I’ve got so much hand I’m coming out of my gloves.
I’ve had three first days here, it’s safe to say they just couldn’t get rid of me.
