Carri Bugbee

Social media marketing strategist, award-winning tweeter, writer, PR/ad pro, instructor at Portland State, Big Deal PR, Inc.

I am the proprietor of Big Deal PR (www.bigdealpr.com), a virtual agency that provides marketing and PR on demand for innovative businesses and organizations. I have 20 years experience in traditional advertising and PR, but I’ve embraced online marketing with a vengeance, including social networking, social media, search marketing, and all things Web 2.0.

 I am marketing agnostic and only recommend what is right for my clients. I don’t use new whiz-bang technologies just because they are available, nor do I espouse the tried and true if that’s not the right approach. Regardless of the tools available, I believe that astute strategies and compelling messages are still the foundation for helping clients get noticed and for propelling their businesses forward.

 I’ve always worked with entrepreneurs and businesses in creative services and technology, but have experience in many other categories as well (see list below). I’m a voracious media consumer and keep my finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the world. Don’t be afraid to throw me a curveball! Solving marketing conundrums is my favorite part of the job. You can reach me at 503-297-4043 or at my Web site.
