| Message from Founder: Alisha Alexander Latest News: See the $100 Bios page! I started Mad Publicity in October 2001 as a Boutique Music Publicity Company catering solely to San Francisco Bay Area up-and-coming and developing bands of various musical genres. After 2 years of running the business in San Francisco in a flailing economy, at a grass roots level, I decided it was time to move forward toward bigger career goals. I took a hiatus in November of 2003 and packed up to move to Los Angeles where the Music and Entertainment Industry is dominant. Currently, I am not taking long-term client projects. I am only accepting short-term projects such as writing Bios, Press Releases, and doing Tour Publicity for short tours. I am staying busy with freelance writing and am working part time for another PR Firm that handles literary clients, artists, and special events, as well as some charity projects. I have 7 years of experience doing PR writing for a wide variety of client types. The following is a list of my PR work experience, where I acquired my skills as a Publicist.
