Mary Elizabeth E.

I am a PR and social media expert and founder of Elkordy Global Strategies. Over the past 20+ years, I've worked in both journalism and public relations, helping more than 800 startups, growth-stage companies, nonprofits, government agencies, e-commerce brands, books, and thought leaders raise their visibility, build credibility, and grow their brands. What makes Elkordy Global Strategies different is that we're part newsroom, part PR agency. More than half of our team are former journalists, and I still produce a daily national television news show. We understand what reporters, producers, and editors are looking for because we've been on the other side of the pitch. I've worked with Fortune 500 companies, startups, personal brands, nonprofits, healthcare organizations, technology companies, and executives across nearly every industry. Whether you're launching a company, building your personal brand, securing media coverage, navigating a crisis, or positioning yourself as a thought leader, we know how to get your story in front of the right audience. Our clients have been featured in Fox News, CNN, Bloomberg, NewsNation, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Finance, Business Insider, ABC News, Good Morning America, TODAY, USA Today, The Associated Press, The New York Times, MSNBC, BBC, Sky News, TechCrunch, Mashable, The Hill, CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Real Simple, Al Jazeera, CNN Español, CGTN, Voice of America, and hundreds of other national, international, broadcast, print, and digital media outlets. What can we do for you? We're a one-stop PR shop. We help clients with: • Earned media outreach and media relations • Thought leadership and executive positioning • Personal branding and executive visibility • Social media strategy and management • Content creation and content marketing • Podcast production and guest booking • Speaking opportunities and conference placements • Crisis communications and reputation management • Digital media strategy and execution • Product launches and campaign development • Strategic communications planning and messaging Additional credentials include being a TEDx speaker, a City & State 40 Under 40 honoree, and a 2026 recipient of City & State's Unsung Heroes Award. Elkordy Global Strategies was recognized by PRNEWS as one of the Top PR Firms of 2025, and I have been a featured speaker at DC Startup Week multiple times. I hold an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a Master's degree in Communications and Public Relations from Georgetown University, and most recently completed a Master's degree in International Strategy and Diplomacy from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). If you're looking for a team that understands both the media and business sides of communications, we'd love to help!
