Straight Talk with Lifestyle Publicist, Joel Mandina

Joel is a person who doesn't quit moving around and making things happen.  He has always been a lifestyle publicist, but eventually came to focus in the entertainment, sports and fashion sectors.  Joel started out working in New Orleans representing 16 hotels, the House of Blues, a Churchill Down (known for the Kentucky Derby) property and a few restaurants.  He also completed a 6-city speaking circuit on crisis communication and was recruited to Boston after a speech at Harvard University.

A few years ago he moved to Paris to pursue a Master’s degree at the American University of Paris in Global Communications with a focus in Fashion & Luxury. He recently graduated but remains there to complete some projects.
