The PR Podcast

What is Asset Framing? We talk with Anat Gerstein, Founder and President, on a new push to help properly and respectfully report on at-risk and marginalized populations. Anat started her namesake named firm in 2010 after years of seeing first-hand the support nonprofits need to effectively tell their story. Prior to starting her business, Anat was chief of staff and press secretary to NYC Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum; provided public relations services to top healthcare companies, including Eli Lilly and Cigna; developed effective communications materials for social service and other non-profits; and promoted political candidates at the state and local level. She began her career nearly 25 years ago in the advertising sector, working on consumer brands such as Vicks and Crest. Anat is a graduate of New York University’s Stern School of Business and a Sabra (Israeli native). Anat served on The New York Community Trust Nonprofit Excellence Awards Selection Committee from 2013 to 2018. The PR Podcast is your view inside the public relations business.
