Here's the dish ... if you have a great dish, Abby Rizen will get media to "dish" all about it.
Abby Rizen is our resident restaurantaholic, and her passion for fine dining manifests itself in fine results for many of our hospitality clients, such as Bertolini's, Coleman, California Pizza Kitchen and Normandy Farm. Whether it's booking television appearances for celebrity chefs, executing community relations programs for local eateries, or ensuring that hospitality clients are participating in the social media space, she has foodie fever ... and doesn't want the cure.
Quickly after joining Vault in 2003, Abby proved herself a driving force behind one of the agency's largest and most ambitious endeavors - a two-year, city-by-city national mobile marketing tour. Throughout the tour, Abby held responsibility for writing speeches and press releases, planning special events and even honing her side craft by appearing on live morning television as a spokesperson for the client.
A self-professed "media relations addict," Abby earned her degree in public relations from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, where she achieved high academic honors as a Newhouse Scholar. Abby currently resides in Jamison, Pa. with her husband, Mike, her daughter, Sloane, and her beloved dog, Oreo. She loves to read, dabbles in writing, can do a mean interpretive dance, and is often found spending quality time with family, friends or the cast and crew of MTV's "The Hills." Of special note, Abby will be featured in an upcoming episode of the A&E series "Intervention" for her frightening (yet adorable) addiction to all things Disney.
