Marlo Fogelman made a name for herself more than 10 years ago when she first opened marlo marketing in Boston with just one staff member and four clients (Starbucks Coffee Company, American Seasons, Nantucket Wine Festival and Grafton Group).

Since then, she has created a prominent public relations agency with eight practice areas, two of which are travel and hospitality. From representing some of the most anticipated restaurant openings in the city to the hautest launches of beauty products, she and her team of marketing professionals represent an impressive roster of national and international clients, including LimoLiner and Pretzel Crisps.

As an attorney licensed in both Massachusetts and New York, Fogelman also supports many local non-profits and donates much of her time to pro-bono PR and marketing work.
