"In my work as a Voice of America reporter, writing "Americana" features as well as stories about trends and issues, I must often "rely on the kindness of strangers" in the public-relations business to assist in finding material and interviewees.  I was pleasantly astounded to deal with Jane Rohman recently when I needed guests fast. 

Not only did she round them up and get them to our studios promptly, she also answered my inquiries quickly, fully, and without undue "P.R. spin." I remember remarking to her at the time that I wish everyone would be so efficient and helpful.  Journalists do not soon forget such assistance, as you see."

Jane Rohman

Prior to starting Jane Rohman & Associates, Jane spent more than a decade with advertising heavyweights J. Walter Thompson and Saatchi & Saatchi managing packaged goods Fortune 500 accounts both in the US and Europe. Her clients included Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Kellogg’s, Kraft, and Helene Curtis. Jane also managed former President George Bush’s “Points of Light” campaign. Prior to that, she earned her masters in international business and served as a copywriter for Mademoiselle magazine.
 
In 1994, Jane left the corporate world to write and self-publish The Dogs’ Guide To New York City With Jack The City Dog, the first canine guidebook of its kind. Serving as her own publicist, the book garnered remarkable national coverage in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Good Housekeeping, and on NBC’s Today Show. Impressed with these results, others started calling her and asking for the name of her publicist. Upon learning Jane was “the publicist,” they hired her.
 
Jane formalized her growing PR business in 1998 under the name of  Jane Rohman & Associates. She holds a BA in Journalism Cum Laude from the University of South Carolina and a Masters in International Business from Thunderbird. On behalf of the Advertising Educational Foundation, Jane was a touring member of the Ambassador Program Speakers Corp for many years.
