Bob Sellers is an Emmy-winning journalist and former cable network news anchor (CNBC and Fox News Channel). He has developed a long list on contacts from his on-air work and agency experience to give Message2Media clients -- individuals, companies and organizations -- a competitive edge to getting on the air and the most informed advice regarding what works in getting your message across in the media.
In addition to anchoring for 25 years, Bob has been a guest on many programs and knows the drill. He knows what producers and bookers are looking for to fill segments. That allows him to pitch Message2Media clients effectively. He has guested on various programs, from CNBC's "Power Lunch" to Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" and has been a regular Friday guest on FBN's "Bulls & Bears." He knows the rhythm of on-air guest spots and passes on that knowledge to M2M clients through media training and coaching.
He has booked guests on all the major cable networks -- and many local stations -- filling same day requests as well as planned segments after pitching clients with unique or fresh perspectives on the hot topics of the day.
Bob won an Emmy for Breaking News in 2010 and is the author of Forbes Best Business Mistakes: How Today's Top Business Leaders Turned Missteps Into Success. He wrote business columns for "Success" and "Gear" magazines and has placed columns in various newspapers throughout the country, including at the the Los Angeles Times. He has also written blogs for Huffington Post. All of this helps him understand the steps Message2Media clients need to take to enhance their brands and get their message "out there."

Stationed in Kennebunkport, Maine for Good Morning, America, it was the first Iraq War that came to call. The first soldier casualty in Iraq was from Skowhegan, Maine and Mary Jo prepared the interview to go live with Charlie Gibson. When the Kennedy family made news in South Florida with the rape trial of one of it's own, Mary Jo was there to produce the coverage for Dateline NBC. From MLB's Spring Training in South Florida to the music scene at Austin City Limits; from trials with national interest & import to the daily coverage of life, this producer creates compelling television.
After GMA, Mary Jo used her storytelling expertise for national brands such as Discovery Channel, Ann Taylor, Verizon, Ross Perot and Gillette to create compelling video storytelling and LIVE brand interactions nationally. Mary Jo also created her own TV programming: Destination Kennebunkport for local Maine affiliates and social media distribution; for NESN (Let's Go Boating) and New England network affiliates with Yankee Magazine's New England Gardener and more recently, Pioneer Magazine and Builders & Innovators -- local magazine programming covering the business of Western Massachusetts.
At M2M, Mary Jo brings her keen awareness of what producers are looking for and what most interests audiences to combine for a powerful client media experience. Mary Jo's focus for clients is the overall marketing strategy, helping them to leverage these interviews and the new-found "expert" status to achieve goals set in the early part of our work together. Once the media interviews have taken place, MJ helps clients use this powerful tool to drive new business, sell more books or become keynote speakers. Dedicated and focused on helping each client be great on air guests, the media and branding experience combine to make a powerful "one, two punch" for M2M clients.
