ALEXANDRIA, Va. (April 2, 2008) — Live Wire Media Relations, LLC, rated one of the top media relations firms in the Washington, DC area by the Washington Business Journal, announced today its newest team member, David Englin.   

Englin brings to Live Wire a unique combination of top-level experience in public relations, public policy, political organizing, and defense and aerospace affairs.  As Vice President, he will create and manage strategic communications plans and aggressive media campaigns at Live Wire for both regional and national clients, including Raytheon Intelligence and Information Systems.

“We are pleased to bring such a multifaceted public relations expert on board,” said Chryssa Zizos, Live Wire Media Relations’ president.  “His talent, professionalism, energy, diverse background and exceptional strategic planning skills will be an outstanding addition to our executive team.”

Prior to winning elected office, Englin managed all aspects of top-level communication strategies as a public affairs officer in the U.S Air Force.  While assigned to the Secretary of the Air Force Office of Public Affairs, Englin was the senior manager responsible for developing, planning, implementing, and promoting high-visibility, web-enabled national outreach programs designed to build and sustain grassroots support.  Englin directed all communications activities for a wing of more than 500 airmen deployed to NATO peacekeeping operations throughout the Balkans.  A media training professional, Englin has prepared some of our nation’s most senior government leaders to communicate effectively through print and broadcast news media.
