Amy-Gabrielle Bartolac
Principal
Amy-Gabrielle Bartolac [AGB] is a communications, public relations, marketing, and public affairs professional with more than 10 years of experience. Her diverse set of skills and expertise comes from her blend of work on Capitol Hill and a presidential campaign; trade association advocacy at the federal, state, and local levels; and a Silicon Valley-based tech PR agency.
AGB has developed award-winning media campaigns, secured grant funding through media visibility, developed and led strategic communications plans, directed organizational branding and messaging, advocated in front of members of Congress, increased companies’ media presence from zero to hero, served as spokesperson, and designed and implemented regulatory, legislative, and issue advocacy campaigns. She has experience on both the client and agency side — familiar with what clients need and journalists want.
Most recently she specialized in generating media coverage for tech clients at Look Left Marketing — a B2B PR, digital, and content marketing agency for tech companies — where she focused on cybersecurity and infrastructure tech. Before her agency portfolio, she worked in public affairs and served as spokesperson of the Wireless Infrastructure Association — representing Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and other telecommunications and wireless leaders — which was preceded by marketing, communications, and government affairs for the American Bakers Association, where she advocated for Krispy Kreme, Pepperidge Farm, Bemis, Entenmann’s, and other commercial manufacturing companies. She also worked in Capitol Hill press offices for two senior senators as well as on a national presidential campaign’s media team.
She earned her Master of Arts degree in Language and Communication with a concentration in Political Communication from Georgetown University and her Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication, French, and Pre-professional Health Sciences at Seton Hill University. She conducted her master’s research on presidential debates, comparing linguistic patterns between presidential candidates. She speaks French and enjoys playing golf in the summer and skiing in the winter.
