Monica Hampton made her official career jump into the PR realm when she joined the Accolades team in 2008 as a public relations specialist. She brings a wide array of business, marketing and event planning experience to her public relations work. Her strong organizational skills were honed in a corporate environment working with executive management teams. Monica owns the responsibility for managing and completing projects within deadlines and her communication and media relations skills make her a valuable addition to the Accolades Team.
Originally from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, Monica has been in Austin for almost 18 years. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from St. Edward’s University in August of 2003 with a degree in Marketing, but soon discovered that PR was her passion. She worked for more than 11 years in the corporate process control industry, but relished her leadership roles with special events and project management. She now leverages these past professional experiences while taking an active role in the creative planning processes on behalf of her PR clients.
Monica has successfully managed several non-profit campaigns to achieve exceptional results in increased fund-raising through social media campaigns, strategic communications strategies, and effective account management. She has grown online communities for her clients and brought media attention to their efforts, demonstrating her ability to blend social media skills with traditional PR.
