Spring is on the horizon in the Chicagoland area, and with the arrival of budding flowers and salvation from the bitter cold comes new beginnings. Not wanting to buck that trend, we decided we could use a little more help around the office, and it comes in the form of our new assistant account executive, Rey Perez.
Rey hails from northwest Indiana, where he attended Purdue University Calumet majoring in public relations. Getting his start after a well-placed push from a communications mentor, he joins the team with a wealth of experience ranging from newspaper journalism to traditional PR, social media, content creation and marketing communications. A natural communicator, Rey thinks PR takes a certain level of bravery and confidence, a trait he displayed when we first met him.
When he’s not pitching media and creating content for PReturn and our clients, you’ll find the self-proclaimed “gym-rat” at his alma mater training for his first physique competition with his girlfriend Beth, or spending time with his family just a few miles from where he grew up. A true believer in cabin fever, Rey spends most of the warmer months taking in the sun outdoors running 5k mud runs with friends or floating around a glimmering pool.
As always, feel free to come pay us a visit if you’re in the area, check out the new digs, and say hello to our new hire. He’ll be the young guy with a smile on his face and a coffee on his desk.
