Risë moved from ABC to ESPNs Radio Network where she knew every sports stat known to man and covered Wimbledon live.
After marriage and a move to Washington DC Risë opened a broadcast PR agency in 1989. Working for consumer giants such as Burger King Corporation Clorox and Pamp;G ZCOMMs work was a far cry from DC issues and politics. Risës consumer work enabled her to bring sizzle to clients of every stripe. In her spare time she wrote two feature film screenplays and was a finalist in the Monterey Screenwriting Competition.
ZCOMM is celebrating its 27th year in business and through Risës leadership has evolved into a full-service integrated marketing agency. In addition to broadcast PR ZCOMM produces 2D and 3D animated videos develops websites designs video .gifs for UNISYS globally and much more. Risës creativity business sense and never-say-die attitude have helped propel ZCOMM to a multi-million-dollar agency.
