COO and Co-Founder

Amanda Proscia is the co-founder of Lightspeed Public Relations and Marketing, a New York City-based agency focused on promoting innovation in areas like healthcare, financial services and consumer electronics. Before starting Lightspeed in 2013, Amanda spent decades learning the intricacies of PR by working in a variety of other agencies, spanning from the very large ones to the very small. She also took on diverse roles, including marketing, political, corporate, non-profit, and financial public relations. After five years on the communications team at American Express, Amanda knew enough about typical PR agencies to want to build a new version. One that puts the clients, and their needs, first.

An unexpected part of her experience over the years has been fielding thousands of questions about public relations. Many of them come from business leaders who would benefit from a PR program of their own, if they just understood what it is.

Amanda’s writing has been published in many top-tier publications, but—true to her profession—always under someone else’s name. She has served as a ghostwriter for Fortune 50 executives, prominent politicians, and countless client leaders, helping to amplify their voices from behind the scenes.

With her new book PR Confidential, she’s stepping out of the shadows to make her insider’s knowledge available to everyone.
