Send2Press is a true newswire, managing our own media contact databases, our own online news network, and with accredited PR staff that work a little harder to "get the word out" about your news.
ABOUT THE COMPANY FOUNDERS
Our company was co-founded by best-selling author, professor, and lecturer / consultant Dr. J.L. Simmons, PhD, and graphic designer and multimedia artist / photographer / musician / journalist, Christopher Laird Simmons.
Dr. Simmons wrote his first press release for a self-published book It's Happening in 1970, which led to mention in TIME magazine and the book being picked up by Knopf. Over the next 30 years, Dr. Simmons appeared on hundreds of television and radio programs and in newspapers and magazines, largely due to his own marketing and PR abilities.
Christopher composed his first release in 1981 for his own self-published work, which led to a quarter-page in Playboy magazine's June 1982 "Potpourri" section; this later led to PR work for California entertainment and start-up companies, as an extension of his design and photography freelance work, and the launch of Neotrope in 1983 (the company launched as Mindset, and later became Neotrope). As a journalist, Christopher sold his first article to a national magazine in 1984, and has since written for a wide variety of local and national magazines.
As a recognized technologist, Internet marketing guru, and public relations professional, Christopher Simmons is frequently interviewed by such diverse organizations as Entrepreneur magazine, The Chicago Post Tribune, Monster.com, PC World, Publishing Basics radio, and Trendwatch. He has been on the launch team of numerous successful companies including MacMall®, FindWhat.com, and (of course) Neotrope. He served as a judge on the PRSA "Excellence in Technology Journalism" awards for three years, and has been invited to speak at numerous trade shows including Seybold.
