Jill Bode

PR Chick Jill Bode founded Designed Write Public Relations in 1998. Working with bubble gum, string and duct tape, she managed to craft a cutting-edge, custom PR consortium that works with clients all over the world.

Jill is frequently stalked by rabid entrepreneurs for her knowledge of Word-of-Mouth Marketing (WOMM). She has taught thousands of people—including teenagers—in dozens of workshops on topics ranging from WOMM to crisis communications and working effectively with the media. Along with fellow PR Chick Mavis Lamb, Jill was a keynote presentor of "PR to PRofit" in front of more than 700 BNI International Conference attendees.

She's also a 20-plus-year Red Cross National Disaster Volunteer, World Traveler, Lover of Books, and dismal dog trainer of Oscar Wild.
