Abbi is the heart, soul and creative engine that drives The Abbi Agency. A veteran of
international media campaigns for some of the nation’s largest real estate, tourism and
business-to-business companies (including Intrawest, Mammoth Mountain, Squaw Valley USA,
Trump International and Fast Wrap USA), Abbi innately understands what drives media
coverage. She’s launched national franchise campaigns, turned technology start-ups into
industry heavyweights and sold luxury real estate and tourist destinations across the globe.
Before starting The Abbi Agency, Abbi was vice president of Lyman Public Relations. Despite her
role directing the company’s public relations strategy and orchestrating campaigns, Abbi is still
most at home picking up the phone and landing top-tier media placements herself. She has
secured feature coverage in the world’s most prestigious publications and television
programming— The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune Small Business
and MSNBC — and has the established relationships with world-class reporters and writers to
show for it. Abbi has organized and led media tours across the world, in locations from London,
Mexico and Costa Rica to Chicago and New York. A long-time Reno resident and a graduate of
the University of Nevada, Reno, she volunteers with Let’s Move Nevada, the Obesity Prevention
Foundation, Nevada’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, the Susan G. Komen
Foundation and many other charitable and business organizations.
