Public Relations Solutions

Thank you for visiting Public Relations Solutions!

My name is Phyllis Ershowsky, and I am founder and principal of PKE Marketing & PR Solutions in beautiful, sunny Southwest Florida. PKE is a strategy-oriented, creative, growing firm that provides marketing and public relations services to a diverse group of wonderful clients.

Originally from New York, I started my career in marketing at Cunard Cruise Lines and then as Public Information Officer for a Long Island government official.  I grew up in the beautiful seaside community, Long Beach, NY, graduated from Vassar College and then went back for my MBA later in my career.  We moved to Florida for better weather, professional opportunities and more of an outdoor lifestyle — and it has been wonderful!

The best part of living here is the chance to meet fantastic people from all different backgrounds and geographic locales…my life has been enriched by these new relationships and I continue to learn every day.  I have clients who are doing unique and interesting things, always exploring new ventures and expressing excitement about their work.  Their enthusiasm combined with mine results in a winning combination that keeps me passionate about my work and new achievements.

My latest adventure is teaching as an adjunct professor at Florida Gulf Coast University.  I teach Public Relations Strategy to a class of eager, intelligent students who are serious about embarking on a career in PR — they love to hear about my day to day experiences and how real life expands upon text book education.

I love my community and it’s important for me to give back in whatever ways I can.  Some of the organizations I am involved with include Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Children’s Home Society, and AMI Kids.

When I am not working or teaching, I am usually running, reading, baking or talking on the phone to my kids or walking my dogs…

Following is a photo of my daughter, me, and my sister Jen (left to right) at the 2009 Race for the Cure:

All of these elements tie in to my quest for continuous improvement, a passion for excellence, being a lifelong learner and creating a fulfilling work/life balance — and I strive to bring these components to my work with my clients to help achieve their goals.  At PKE, we are proud of the results we achieve — our clients’ success is our success.

If you want to communicate further, feel free to contact me – I look forward to hearing from you!

All the best,

Phyllis
