SKYE MACBROOM - Writer | Publicist

Skye has worked in the public relations industry for the past ten years placing stories in top-tier media outlets for a spectrum of high-profile clients and national media campaigns. Skye began her career by working and consulting for some of the top PR agencies in Connecticut. Skye then landed a position at Martha Stewart Living OmniMedia as a personal fashion stylist for Martha Stewart; but Martha’s legal problems resulted in canceled shows. It was meant to be. Skye turned her freelance work as an independent publicist into a full-time PR agency. She decided to pursue the entrepreneurial itch that runs in her family and SkyeLine Studio, LLC was born.

 

Skye always had a passion for journalistic writing, whether it is crafting the perfect pitch, writing TV scripts, or penning feature articles. She is a contributing writer for the national trade magazine, My Foodservice News. She also ghostwrites for many authors, creates corporate marketing materials, and copy edits documents of all types.

 

Skye studied journalism, marketing, and business, and founded the public relations plan of study at the University of Connecticut in 2000. In fact, she was the first student to graduate from the university with a degree in public relations. Skye also received a second bachelor’s degree in Communications. She is a corporate member of the Public Relations Society of America and Avant Guild Media Bistro. Skye volunteers her time with organizations that strive to make a difference. She is the marketing co-chair for Family Services of Greater Waterbury.
