Marijane Funess
Media Relations Director
With over 20 years of experience in consumer public relations on both coasts, Marijane Funess brings her trademark creative flair to savvy start-ups and major brands alike. The high-profile campaigns she orchestrated at Burson-Marsteller, Manning, Selvage & Lee and Ogilvy & Mather supported product categories from cameras to cat food.
Originally from Los Angeles, Marijane is known for her big ideas, her endless virtual rolodex, and her irrepressible energy. Her successful product launches and re-branding efforts have benefited nationally known companies (General Foods and Kodak) as well as entrepreneurial brands.
Marijane says that a strong combination of “old school” PR outreach and social media savvy create the foundation for successfully connecting with today’s consumers.
When she is not producing special events for clients, Marijane can be found producing events for her pet cause, the Pelham Picture House, a 100-year old theater being restored near her home.
