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!

"Finding the back story, the details to give readers real insight into a place, takes extra effort and Leigh Cort partners brilliantly with journalists. Her agendas appear easy-going at first glance but always contain rich details because her advance and on-site planning covers every step. Venturing into the back woods at Private Islands of Georgia’s Eagle and May Hall islands prove the point; Leigh doesn’t stop at the edge of the marsh!"

Christine Tibbetts, Tifton GA Gazette, CNHI News Service

“Every detail of our trip to Eagle Island was thought of and addressed. Laidback. Entertaining. Intriguing. Gracious. Hilarious. Classy. Organized. Relaxed. Thrilling. That’s Leigh Cort! The warmth, the professionalism, the caring was felt long before we met in person. Eagle Island is all that she said it was, and much more!”

Jennifer J. Beaumont, Philadelphia PA

“Everything was professional and excellent,. I want to tell you that the congenial group and the wonderful itinerary did a lot to lift my spirits and restoreth my soul.”

“Leigh Cort left no detail unattended in planning this media trip. She coordinated everything – even graciously arranging to change the dates of our visit upon our request. Leigh is the epitome of professionalism. I continue to enjoy the pleasure and ease of working with her. By the way, it’s no wonder that this discriminating publicist accepted The Sandpiper Inn as her client. This property truly is Forgotten Florida, and as she says - and we learned first-hand - “it’s the real deal”.

Lisa Codianne Fowler

“You, my dear friend, are the BEST! And this tour was the best ever for me and for my destination. Your contacts proved invaluable; the people who were on our Clayton County trip were some of my favorite media FAM people of 30+ years in this business. It overshot my wildest expectations by a mile!”

Patrick Duncan, President

"Leigh is truly a writer’s ally and secret weapon! She’s dynamic, professional, and a rare combination of efficiency and creativity. More than just destinations, Leigh's media trips offer an astounding array of activities. From food to the arts, history to family fun, Leigh's itineraries are smart, enjoyable and thought provoking."

"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."

Ann & Alex Augunas, Golden Times/Travel & Photojournalists

"Leigh Cort is the consummate PR professional. Her media trips are precision-run and tailored to the unique interests of a blend of travel writers. There is no detail too minor for Leigh to tweak. She sees to it that writers leave their destination with an in-depth, insider's eye to its special attributes. I love working with Leigh because one trip feeds me many, many articles on wide ranges of subjects."

MARY WARREN, New York Travel Journalist

"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

It was an outstanding media trip, perfectly orchestrated, where activities take place when they are scheduled. Your care in communicating to the journalists maximized our time. It’s a difficult task to bring together a diverse group filing each individual need. You do this with grace, high energy and boundless enthusiasm”.
