As vice president, Bitz will leverage the agency's strong background in carrier and enterprise technologies to expand into tangential markets that can best utilize Engage PR's expertise, including home networking and consumer wireless technologies among others. She will also work to help expand the Engage PR footprint beyond Silicon Valley, in conjunction with staff in the company's new satellite office in Arlington, Virginia. Bitz's combination of proven leadership skills, extensive industry experience, and overall business savvy will be an integral part of Engage PR's continued growth.

The agency's uncompromising focus on delivering the highest-quality communications services, and its dedication to working in partnership with clients to define and achieve measurable goals, have resulted in significant growth over the past year.

Bitz brings more than twelve years of experience in high-tech public relations to Engage PR with an emphasis on enterprise, telecommunications, and wireless technologies. She has worked with both public and private companies and has a proven track record of developing and managing public relations programs, including company and product launches, mergers/acquisitions, and initial public offerings. Since 1996, Bitz has worked closely on several landmark clients, including Airespace, Ascend, and Calix, for both Engage PR and Gallagher PR. Prior to joining Engage PR, Jeannette managed PR programs for Apsylog, SoftAd Group, and CTI Labs.
