When Media Relations opened a new office in Ft. Myers, Florida, we hit the jackpot when Klaudia Balogh became our first Florida-based employee. Klaudia shares several qualities with the majority of our publicity team, including strong PR instincts and a commitment to community service.
Klaudia recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from Florida Gulf Coast University with a degree in communications and a concentration in public relations. On her own, and without significant on-the-job training, she’s arranged for media placements on Fox TV, Wink News, as well as Naples Daily News, Eagle News, News Press and Panorama Magazine.
These media placements have been for the Children Cancer Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit organization started by her parents after her brother Roland was diagnosed with the disease. Roland has since recovered, but Klaudia’s commitment has not waned. For two consecutive years, she has organized and hosted the Santa Claus for a Cause 5K run/walk in Ft. Myers, benefitting the Children Cancer Foundation. Demonstrating her attention to detail, she also arranges to collect toys for children currently receiving cancer treatments. At the 5K prizes to be awarded to top finishers, and Santa hats to be given to all participants. Klaudia enlists the help of current Florida Gulf Coast University students to make this annual event a huge success.
Klaudia is one of many Media Relations employees who donate their time and talents to benefit charitable and civic causes, ranging from nonprofit business organizations to those supporting women’s health issues, children’s wellbeing and animal rescue.
