Leigh Cort Publicity - Effective Public Relations
Bringing media to your doorstep, we know that media coverage and quality exposure is worth the wait...from the time a journalist visits a destination until they craft their stories and get them published. Creating excitement about a trip that is filled with new adventures and clever story angles is what we are known for.

Our company understands the relationship between representing a destination and making media coverage come to life for the writer. Knowing the ‘best kept secrets’ about a particular area is what journalists want to experience and we personally escort our writers throughout the journey.

Whether it’s a media visit for one night or an extended in-depth stay, nothing is more rewarding than a warm welcome, a fond farewell and knowing that there is more than one story to be written!

“Participating in your media tours are always the highlight and most elegant of travel writer events for me. The Inns are delightful; the tours educational and the pace easy. Sampling the fantastic cuisine always means a couple of days dieting when I get home. Your preparation, contact and follow up material is a big help in putting articles together. You are the consummate professional. Here's to more Leigh Corts who make it easy, and fun, to be a travel writer.”

Warren Resen

"I always look forward to working with Leigh Cort, especially when that means spending time with her in person. She is not only efficient, professional, and charming but goes out of her way to cater to the needs of individual journalists. That is a rare calling in the 21st century."

Dan Schlossberg, President, North American Travel Journalists Association,
Travel Editor, www.consumeraffairs.com

"Our trip really was terrific! Alex and I agree that it was one of the most pleasurable we have experienced thanks to the professional way you put it all together; the behind the scenes work that was evident in all the planned events that went off so smoothly. The little surprises and extras were truly appreciated. As the representative of the Inns of Elegance, you did a grand job of providing us with insight, information and the opportunity to meet all the hosts who outdid themselves by extending to us their gracious hospitality. I know that the journalists really appreciated having some free time to do the things we considered important to our particular needs. You made the whole experience most comfortable and non-taxing."

Ann & Alex Augunas, Golden Times/Travel & Photojournalists

"Leigh, you were such a gracious host, with enormous energy and perseverance. We were amazed by all of your efforts on our trip to St. Augustine. Everything that you prepared was perfect and memorable."

Marguerite & Robert Gil, Where Magazine, U.S. Architecture

"Our 3-day visit was the perfect mix of every element of a grand trip, seasoned with just the right amount of meticulous details and down time."

Kathy Dail, Mature Lifestyles

"I’ve worked with other PR professionals in the travel industry, but I’ve not met one that understands their profession as well as Leigh does. She left no detail unattended, from the welcome packet with treasures related to the destination and had organized activities that every writer was eager to attend. She created a positive, compelling and educational light where I walked away with more articles than I had anticipated – a sign that an expert in the industry hosted the trip."

Stephanie Moreland, Sarasota Radio, Global Web Magazine

"I’ve dedicated 15 years in the hospitality industry in media relations, events and as admissions officer for Johnson & Wales University Charleston. I understand the secrets of successful public relations campaigns so I commend you not only as a professional with a gifted eye for details but you are a shining star! You give new definition to the Art of Public Relations."

Barbie-Perkins Cooper, Author, Photojournalist, Travel Writer

"It was an outstanding media trip, perfectly orchestrated, where activities take place when they are scheduled. Your care in communicating the schedule to the journalists maximized our time in your city; we all knew where we needed to be and at what time. It’s a difficult task to bring together a diverse group and put a program together that fills each individual need, sending the writer home with exactly the right information to get the job done. You do this with grace, high energy and boundless enthusiasm."
