Alexandra O’LearyAlexandra (Ali) is one of our talented Account Mangers who is coming up on her one-year anniversary with 43PR. Currently, she oversees and contributes to client accounts including RockMyRun, Savor, Stern Pinball and TheFind. In this interview, she shares what she enjoys most about working in PR and reveals her favorite tool to find live music. What do you like most about working at 43? The people. I really enjoy everyone I work with and consider them to be good friends. Everyone is so different and unique, which is great for a working environment because I feel like we’re always learning from each other. What was your most rewarding moment at 43? Probably being able to manage my own accounts. It’s nice to do things your own way and let your work speak for itself. What do you enjoy most about working in PR? Staying on top of what’s going on and not just in the tech industry. It’s important to stay on top of everything going on in the news for this job, especially when you work on multiple accounts. You never know what will be of interest to your client so it’s good to do lots of research. What advice would you give to someone who is interested in PR? Be yourself and don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. It's always nice to see someone doing something a little different and being creative. What is your favorite app?
I like Timbre, it’s great for finding live music in whatever city you’re in. If you had the chance to have a conversation with any influential figure (past or present) who would it be and why? Anaïs Nin. She just really seemed to be ahead of her time, controversial even, in everything from her lifestyle to her work. She influenced a lot of great writers and really marched to the beat of her own drum, which is something I really admire. She also had great Bohemian style. If you were given a one week vacation next week where would you go and why? I think I would go to Belize. I’ve never been and I feel like going somewhere tropical. I hear the Belize Barrier Reef is really beautiful, plus I’ve always wanted to see The Great Blue Hole. What artists or stations do you enjoy listening to while at work? This is tough because I love music and have it playing all day long. I listen to Sam Cooke everyday. Honorary shout outs go to: Otis Redding, David Bowie, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin and Johnny Cash.
