James P. Perez

I have a unique background and an eclectic skillset, ranging from journalism to PR to technology and teaching. I know how to connect with an audience by weaving stories that draw them in and tap their emotions.

I’m a strong, clear writer. I can grasp hard to understand subjects, and break it down into simple, easy to understand terms. I can also rewrite and edit copy quickly.

I've taught social media workshops to business owners, and I've taught social media at the college level.

Selected engagements include:
•Elliot Richardson For Congress: Media advisor to first-time candidate running in 10th congressional district of Illinois.

•Chicago Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Annual Skydive for MS, a fundraiser. Results include segments on WGN TV News and coverage in The Chicago Sun Times.

•Annual National Asthma Screening Program: Results in the Atlanta Metro area have included articles in The Atlanta Journal Constitution, The Douglas Neighbor, and a three-minute segment on WSB-AM Radio.

•Chicago International Film Festival Black Perspectives: pitched and secured appearance by Robin Robinson on the Roland Martin radio show to discuss Jeffrey Wright’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
