Mandee Banga

Public Relations in California

I'm a PR + media gal! Sure,Samantha Jones from Sex and the Citymade PR seem like the best job ever, I only dream of partying with celebrities and other sexy perks, but I went with PR for other reasons...

The field of PR is like a communications cocktail -- a mix of everything! It involves writing, planning, building relationships, media production and more. It's a diverse and communicative field, just like how I view myself.

I have experience as a freelance public relations specialist in various industries including South Asian music and entertainment, lifestyle and tech. I've worked in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Orange County.

In 2008, I started my own venture with Urban Desi Radio -- a radio show platform which provides underground South Asian music, the first of its kind in California.

Mandee on a artistic level --

There's one thing in particular that runs through my veins, and that's my love for new media and art! I thrive off of artistic expression like writing, music, film, dance, designing, photography and more! I've pretty much dabbled in everything from radio to writing and I love all types of mass media. I'm a pop culture junkie and staying on top of current events is a must!

Mandee on a personal level --

Three words that I would use to describe myself: easy-going, fun, and sociable. I'm a social butterfly and love meeting new people to soak up what they have to offer. I do my best to make the best of every situation, and I'm definitely a people person.
