REBECCA THEIM, principal of Tipitina Communications, has more than 20 years of professional communications experience across a wide range of industries, corporate cultures, and media formats and outlets.
She began her career as a reporter for metropolitan daily newspapers before transitioning to the role of communications professional for companies in industries including manufacturing, professional services, consumer products, gaming, publishing and video and online media.
Her PR accomplishments include:
-
a successful stint as Director of Communications for Playboy Enterprises (yes, she's been to the Playboy Mansion, but only during daylight hours)
-
overseeing North American external, internal and governmental communications for UPM, a European-based, NYSE-listed $7 billion global manufacturing company undergoing profound organizational and industry change;
-
creating, launching and overseeing the PR practice for a Chicago consumer products marketing communications agency; and
-
directing external, internal and financial communications for a $1 billion, NASDAQ-listed gaming company with operations in six states undergoing significant cultural, operational and executive changes after the unexpected death of it founder.
In those roles, Rebecca represented her companies and clients with reporters, employees, investors, politicians and community leaders in the wake of corporate acquisitions; new product launches; executive appointments, purges and defections; plant and facility closures; workplace deaths and injuries; labor union strikes; major layoffs; and industrial accidents. She's currently working with several business owners to tap traditional and online media to enhance their professional profiles in anticipation of new business ventures or expansions.
