Shelter PR has raised the roof for four of its staffers.

The bi-coastal public relations company has announced that four senior publicists have received promotions in their Los Angeles and New York branches: Jenny Tversky now holds the position of executive vice president, overseeing company and staff relations on both coasts; Jessica Sze, a founding member of Shelter PR, has been elevated to vice president of Shelter PR’s New York office; Stephanie Kazanjian has been promoted to vice president in the New York office; and Larissa Saenz has been appointed as a vice president for Shelter PR’s L.A. branch.

Support for Shelter PR is widely demonstrated by its founders Marla Farrell, Cara Tripicchio, and Christine Tripicchio. After gaining experience at WKT Public Relations, they joined forces to establish Shelter PR. Alongside them are vice president Lauren Gold and awards expert Jerry Rojas, who holds the position of executive vice president within the company.

Looking back on the last ten years since Shelter PR was founded, our partners attribute our company’s prosperity to a hardworking, creative, and driven team. With great satisfaction, we are promoting several key executives who have earned these advancements through their exceptional work as publicists and trendsetters, both domestically and internationally.
