Meet Antonio Santoro

Today we’re excited to be connecting with Antonio Santoro again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Antonio, always such a pleasure connecting with you and thank you for sharing your stories, insights and inspiring messages with our community. We’re looking forward to getting the download and what you have been up to since our last interview, but first can you briefly introduce yourself to folks who might have missed the prior conversation.
I am Antonio Santoro, a freelance publicist located in Atlanta, GA that helps maximize the brand message of my clients and secure the strategic spotlight they deserve. I believe we all have a story, it’s just a matter of who is telling it. As an expert encourager, personally, I thrive on encouraging others to step into their strategic spotlight and share their story in hopes to impacting, inspiring, or empowering others. It is important to note that I am a faith-based entrepreneur. God is my CEO. Prior to every meeting, pitch, or connection I make, I pray and leave it in God’s hands, as I know that is the best place to put it and it will surely be successful.

Alright, so our main goal today is to give our audience an update on what you have been up to since our last conversation. We’d love to hear how things are going and what you are most looking forward to or excited about these days.
I am grateful to report that my PR business has been fruitful this last year as a full-time entrepreneur. I have helped serve clients who are launching books, combating food insecurity, releasing new music, as well as life and relationship coach who provide strategies to live their best life. I am blessed to have made strong relationships with media outlets. Nationally, I had my first placements in The Washington Post and Essence. These were major wins for me and my clients as we amplified the incredible work they are doing. Additionally, I believe local media matters. I have built strong local media relationships with the Atlanta market that have allowed my clients to be seen by local stakeholders. Another highlight within this last year was providing PR support for a client, Lisa Nichols, who appeared on Broadway in NYC for a one-woman, one-night-only show. Creating buzz around this iconic and impactful night was invigorating and confirmed how much I love and am grateful to do what I do.

We also want to give folks a chance to get to know you a bit better so we’ve prepared a fun lightning round of questions. Ready?

What would the perfect day look like for you? Please give us as many details as possible.
I am an early riser. Waking up within the 5am or 6am hour to sit in the peaceful stillness of the morning with a hot cup of coffee and my Bible is the perfect way to start the day.
Within my perfect day, I would also get a run in, running 4 miles. I would then meet some friends for some brunch (I would try to go with something healthy, however, I would probably indulge a bit since I ran earlier in the day.)
My day would continue working and meeting with my clients to ensure their PR campaigns are progressing. I would review the news media cycle and determine how I can best insert my clients into the conversations as thought-leaders and experts within their industry.
I would end my perfect day by reading, journaling, or relaxing with a TV show…full of gratitude.
