WENDY BAILEY

Like all of our public relations associates, Wendy Bailey has worked on both sides of the media fence — as a reporter and a publicist. Awards for her journalism include two Associated Press Awards for Best Documentary for a TV series, a Colorado Broadcasters Association First Place for a TV series and a Colorado Springs Press Club Award for a TV series.

As an anchor, reporter and producer, she has worked at television and radio stations in San Francisco, Seattle, Santa Rosa and Colorado Springs, giving her an inside knowledge of those media markets.

Since joining the public relations realm, Bailey has booked clients on extensive television and radio programs as well as magazines of note. CNN Radio, Associated Press Radio, Via, Sunset and California Tour and Travel magazines as well as Billboard, Music Row and Country Weekly are just a few of the media outlets she has been able to tap for clients. She also has booked clients on Hard Copy and The Other Side.

Because of her experience, Bailey is a master at strategy, pitching and following through with the media to garner placement.

JAYSON CARPENTER

The classic and simple demeanor of Jayson Carpenter's photographs keep his clients coming back for more. He draws from his worldwide experience to deliver a fresh look not commonly found. After a year spent backpacking in Africa, India, Nepal and Thailand, Jayson found his vision, capturing the human element in a vulnerable state. Transformed into commercial work, this vision creates a unique style sought by national art directors for magazine covers, advertising, billboard and marketing campaigns of all stripes.
