ChoiceMedia-webPublic relations industry professionals Heather Adams and Beth Gebhard have joined forces to launch Choice Media & Communications, a boutique media and communications business specializing in lifestyle- and entertainment-based projects. The company will offer clients a full range of communications services, including public relations, media relations, corporate communications, crisis communications and branding and strategy.

With more than three decades of combined, high-level professional communications experience across varying industries, the two have helped launch more than 75 New York Times best-sellers, crafted publicity campaigns that played across all of today’s major national media outlets and served in integral corporate communications roles at top entertainment companies, including ABC Entertainment/The Walt Disney Co., OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, Thomas Nelson and Zondervan.

They have worked with a range of high-profile clients and organizations such as Caroline Kennedy, Naomi Judd, Steve Martin, Julie Andrews, Maria Shriver, Rick Warren, Billy Graham, President Jimmy Carter, Max Lucado and Dave Ramsey.

"Heather and I are passionate public relations professionals committed to creating a business that provides quality, accountability and true partnership for our clients, as well as one that empowers and supports employees in their lives and their work,” Gebhard said.

Adams and Gebhard, who operated separate successful independent communications businesses, collaborated on several projects through the years and decided they would make a good team.

"At Choice, we believe you can be strong, savvy, successful businesswomen, while also being loving, fun and engaged mothers and wives,” Adams said. “Our company’s core values reflect this, and we fully intend to create a public relations business marked with warmth and known for strategy and execution.”

Joining Adams and Gebhard are Senior Publicist Ashley Schaffner and Associate Publicist Kristin Carver. For a full list of services and clients, visit choicepublicity.com.
