News Dissector Danny Schechter applauds public relations specialist, publisist Ilene Proctor

From the Media:


Recently I have been connected with a new PR powerhouse from the left coast, Ilene Proctor. I can't forget her because she is quite simply ON THE CASE relentlessly, persistently, shaking things up and following up. Every day on issues ranging from voting integrity to investigative breakthroughs pumping bloggers we should read, and issues we should care about.

She is rapid fire, on target, and, unlike Dick Cheney, rarely misfires. I don't really know her well, but I do know she does have an impact, because journalists like myself pay attention.

Auteur de Voicing dissidence. Artistes américaine et la guerre en Irak, Routledge, 2010

“J’ai rencontré Ilene Proctor lorsque, fraîchement débarquée de Paris à Los Angeles en 2004, je peinais à trouver dans les mondes de l’art et du spectacle les repères indispensables à la recherche que
j’entreprenais sur les artistes mobilisés contre la guerre en Irak.

“Par ses précieux conseils et sa connaissance fine de ces milieux, manifestement enracinés dans l’expérience et l’investissement humain, elle a apporté une contribution significative au déchiffrage de ces univers, objet de mes récentes publications. Je lui dois donc un très sincère et cordial merci!”

“I met Ilene Proctor when, just arrived from Paris in Los Angeles in 2004, I was having a hard time
finding the necessary landmarks in the arts and entertainment industries to conduct the research that I
was starting on artists’ response to the war in Iraq.

“With her precious advice and her sharp knowledge of this milieu, clearly rooted into experience and
personal commitment, she made a significant contribution to the understanding of these professional
worlds, analyzed in my recent publications. I owe her a very sincere and cordial ‘thank you!’”

Ilene,
Thanks for connecting me with Paul Krugman. Your work paid off. Krugman has given me a big boost in today's Times - as the man who first broke the story of the fix in Florida 2000 and the man about to break The Big One in Harper's next week.

Your accomplishments have beaten the big time, big-bill, PR firms to death. My gratitude to you.

Thanks,
Greg

Dear Ilene,

We wanted express our gratitude for your amazing commitment to help us get the word on Afghanistan out. It’s been a 30-year odyssey that needed a very special campaign to start the process of breaking the highest glass ceiling inside the mainstream media. Once your stream of fabulous media contacts started flowing it never stopped and some are calling us back again! We wish we could just keep you going on and on,. For now we’ll have to just bask in the glow of all your effort to get us inside the media system. We’ll update you on our 10/22 interview on Let’s Talk Live when we return from the DC trip!

With much appreciation,

(Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould)

Wonder Woman of Public Relations: Ilene PRoctor
by Peter Mathews

24, July 2014

I initially had reservations about using a publicist to promote my book, “Dollar Democracy:
With Liberty and Justice for Some; How to Reclaim the American Dream for All“. This book
was too important, and too timely to leave to chance. That’s why I decided to hire a professional.
I was introduced to Ilene Proctor, a progressive publicist with a stellar reputation that preceded
her. Raising a family, teaching college full time, and trying to promote a book at the same time
would have been an overwhelming task. However, the cost of hiring a publicist seemed a stretch
for my budget. On the plus side, a professional publicist could successfully infuse vibrant and
focused energy to the crucial cause of introducing the ideas in my book to the larger world. Ilene
Proctor is a genius at marketing techniques unknown to other professionals. In addition, she has
valuable contacts in politics, entertainment, and news media; contacts that she uses to catapult
her clients to enormous new heights.

In two weeks of working with me, Ilene has already secured over thirty radio, television, and
magazine interviews, in addition to a dozen more that are well on their way to becoming a
reality.

I highly recommend Ilene Proctor, a public relations Wonder Women who produces results.

With highest regards,
