The Power of PR to Amplify Important Voices
Letâs talk about the Power of PR! In June of 2021, our agency, WKC took on a pro bono project under our charitable division, Higher Work, for abuse survivor, licensed therapist and narcissism expert after hearing about her incredible journey to run 300 miles across New York in a wedding dress to raise awareness about narcissistic abuse.
Our goal was to help Vanessa secure the attention she deserved so that others could find their own voices. Through her tireless efforts, she raised $200,000 to support this vital cause. We proudly secured placements for her in outlets like the New York Post, People, Fox, Inside Edition, Metro, and ABC. Most notably, the feature by writer in attracted global attention, helping shine a spotlight on the pressing issue of narcissistic abuse and attracting the book publisher Hachette.
We are proud to come back three years later to support Vanessa in the release of her new book, Narcissistic Abuse: A Therapistâs Guide to Identifying, Escaping, and Healing from Toxic and Manipulative People, set to launch on October 29th. This book is not just a resource; itâs a lifeline for those trapped in toxic relationships. It delves into critical concepts such as gaslighting, love bombing, and emotional manipulation, providing readers with essential tools to recognize red flags, create safe exit strategies, and heal from their experiences.
With Octoberâs National Domestic Violence Awareness Month happening, and the holidays on the horizonâwhen incidents of abuse tend to increaseâthere couldnât be a timelier release.
If you or anyone you know would like more information or to speak with Vanessa as an expert, please let us know. Letâs celebrate the ability of PR professionals to connect powerful narratives with audiences that need them most. Together, we can change lives!
