About.Melissa A Vitale PR is a New York-based public relations agency working with mid-to-late stage startups and executives across sexual wellness, legal cannabis, cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.
Spearheaded by Melissa A Vitale, MAVPR has represented brands across vice, entertainment, fashion, beauty, finance, technology, hospitality and luxury industries. Vitale cut her teeth working under Jim Dowd, a PR veteran of over 40 years. Her style of PR mimics Dowd's, diverting from traditional mass-list distribution and instead focusing on the art of storytelling while cultivating strong relationships with lifestyle, culture and business media. Lauded for her entrepreneurial mind and her beat into the transforming media industry, Melissa has secured coverage for her clients in Newsweek, Forbes, Business Insider, New York Times, New York Magazine, Women's Health, Refinery29, Self, Shape, Prevention, Men's Health, TechCrunch, YAHOO! News, Mashable, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Inc.com, Venture Beat, International Business Times, QZ, among others. Melissa considers everything a networking opportunity. She’ll travel around the country for tacos but will starve before eating pizza outside the tri-state area. Raised on Jugtown Mountain in the foothills of Northern New Jersey, an area whose nickname comes from the rum-runners of the 1920s, Melissa is a proud educator, advocate and entrepreneur hoping to abolish federal cannabis prohibition. MAVPR is New York’s first VICE PR agency and New Jersey’s first legal cannabis PR agency. |
