About Mathe Communications

Erin Mathe

I’m an accomplished communications executive with 20+ years of experience.

Starting in television news gave me the benefit of knowing how to tell a compelling story, whether it was about new technology, products, services, people, places, or events. I’ve written press releases, magazine and newspaper articles about a variety of topics, from food to music to commercial real estate to energy efficiency and more.

Fast turnaround time? No problem. No matter the subject, I can tell a good story fast. I’m dynamic, decisive, and have the ability to inspire, motivate, and leverage diverse teams to harness the best ideas that produce tangible, executable plans.

With a strong cup of coffee, I can manage any project, turn it on a dime and make sure the right message gets their attention.

Testimonials

I have worked with Erin on numerous occasions to develop strategic communications plans to help companies achieve their business goals. Once the plan is in place, she attacks it, working diligently on media outreach, influencer marketing campaigns, or whatever method she decides will be most effective. Her strategies increase and leverage awareness and impact, drive revenue growth, and maximize sustained engagement.

Maria Reitan
Principal, Topsail Strategies

Erin is a master at instilling confidence and teaching message delivery skills. Whether working directly with a client or a spokesperson on behalf of that client, she understands the pressure, welcomes it, and delivers time and time again.

Alan Newbold
Senior Vice President, Public Relations, broadhead

Erin doesn’t pull any punches, which is a valuable quality when you’re looking for a media strategist. If your pitch for a product or service simply isn’t newsworthy, she’ll tell you so. If your CEO is a terrible communicator, she won’t put him or her in front of the camera without extensive coaching. If you’re sick of glad-handing PR people who tell clients exactly what they want to hear, then Erin is a breath of fresh air. She is honest without being disrespectful, realistic while maintaining a solutions-oriented approach and opinionated, yet strategically tethered by a lifetime of newsroom experiences.

David Hlavac
Founding Principal, Belletrist Communications

Erin brings an energy and level of professionalism unparalleled. Her versatility and attention to detail help Erin successfully coach executives and other spokespeople in a wide range of industries. Having spent much of her career in TV news, Erin brings a realism not often found in media training. What’s more, she’s kept her sense of humor and makes a sometimes intimidating learning session into a fun experience.
