Big Deal PR People

Bio:  Carri Bugbee, principal of Big Deal PR

Carri Bugbee has been helping innovators with brand image development, marketing and public relations for 20 years.  With experience in categories as diverse as enterprise technologies, creative services, retail and construction,
Carri is especially adept at helping entrepreneurs develop communication strategies that will remain relevant as their companies grow and competitive environments change.

As a seasoned writer and project manager, Carri has worked on nearly every type of marketing project imaginable – always ensuring that strategic positioning and on-target messaging are at the heart of each execution.  Of course, Carri's strategic focus extends to press relations as well.  As a vigilant trend-watcher and avowed news junkie, she has a knack for translating clients’ competitive advantages into newsworthy story ideas.

Since starting her own business over 14 years ago, Carri has supervised numerous teams in public relations and advertising – sometimes partnering with other firms or free agents to provide the best set of skills for each client.  Prior to striking out on her own, Carri worked for advertising powerhouse Wieden & Kennedy, global public relations giant Hill & Knowlton, and NBC-affiliate KMTR-TV.

Carri has also provided pro bono writing, marketing or public relations support for the Software Association of Oregon, the Portland Creative Conference, Oregon Entrepreneurs Forum, Volunteers of America, and the Oregon Media Production Association.

Carri received a B.A. in Journalism from the University of Oregon with emphases in both advertising and public relations.  More recently, she has studied search engine optimization and search engine marketing.
