Saul Markowitz<\/span><\/strong>(President)<\/span><\/em> <\/span><\/h3>\n

Saul Markowitz has always been a storyteller. He began his career in the public relations department for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.\u00a0\u00a0At\u00a0the ripe young age of 24, he moved down the street and\u00a0he took the stage as the first manager of public relations and promotions for the newly-restored $42 million Benedum Center for the Performing Arts.\u00a0 Following that, he took on the role of director of public relations at Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Fine Arts.\u00a0Three years later, he journeyed into the wild to become the first director of marketing and public relations at The Pittsburgh Zoo as a newly formed private non-profit organization.<\/p>\n

On April Fool\u2019s Day of 1997, he decided to open his very own agency (no kidding).\u00a0\u00a0After 20 years, Saul and Bonnie Markowitz and staff have established a reputation as the small firm that\u2019s able and ready to take on clients of any size.<\/p>\n

For fun, Saul plays ice hockey with a bunch of old dudes, where he anchors the infamous \u201cDeli Line.\u201d He loves nothing more than setting up teammates for an easy goal–which is sort of what he does in PR, as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cSaul and his team did an outstanding job garnering press for one of our events in Pittsburgh. He\u2019s extremely creative and used his many connections to create a successful PR campaign, which resulted in several media hits. He was involved with the media pitching every step of the way. So much so that he even lost his voice talking to reporters. Our only regret is that there isn\u2019t a Markowitz Communications in all of our markets. Saul is a true professional, and we look forward to working with him again.”<\/span><\/h2>\n
