A veteran celebrity publicist, a revenue-boosting marketing consultant and one of the Public Relations industry's cagiest media specialists, Scott Pinsker brings a true passion for publicity - and a proven track record for helping businesses reach dizzying new heights - to Viking Media Marketing. Pinsker's long list of clients and strategic partners includes A-List sports superstars, multibillion-dollar corporate conglomerates, entertainment properties, small businesses, consumer products and emerging brands.

Pinsker's Public Relations credo is simple: Study the client's business model and desired marketing audience; determine how a targeted, well-crafted publicity campaign will maximize this business model and position the "brand" for continual, long-term growth; tailor-design and then implement the best possible plan for that particular client's unique needs and market conditions - and then under-promise and over-perform!

The results speak for themselves: Scott Pinsker's clients have been showcased in some of the Western World's most influential media outlets, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Parade Magazine, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Larry King Live, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, FOX News, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, BBC, ESPN, HBO, Bravo, Golf Channel, Time Magazine, Newsweek, TV Guide, Entertainment Weekly, Maxim Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Advertising Age, Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Early Show, E!

After cutting his journalistic teeth on talk-radio by hosting a pair of talk-shows in Virginia and South Carolina, Pinsker began focusing exclusively on Public Relations in 2002 while living in Los Angeles. He appeared in the Academy Award-nominated film A Perfect Candidate, starred in Academy Award-nominated director Brett Morgen's political documentary Ollie's Army, and served as creator, publicist and Executive Producer for three films with National Lampoon.

A lawyer by education, Pinsker earned his Juris Doctorate with a specialization in Litigation from George Mason University's School of Law in 2000. He is the former vice president of the Florida Public Relations Associations (Tampa chapter) and a member of Mensa, the international high-IQ society.

Before leading Viking Media Marketing's Public Relations division, Pinsker was a Senior Counselor with French | West | Vaughan, the largest independent PR agency in the Southeast, and the Senior Vice President and Executive Producer with the Glasure Group Public Relations Agency, a sports / entertainment firm based in Pinsker's adopted hometown of St. Petersburg, FL. He also handled marketing, publicity and media relations for Bob Circosta Communications, a consulting company that trains celebrities (Jessica Simpson, Lauren Hutton, Ed McMahon, Vanna White, Frankie Avalon, Priscilla Pressley, Farrah Fawcett, etc.) for TV sales and marketing appearances.

Now living in sunny Florida with his wife Johanna and their two sons - along with their two rescue cats and a 220-pound mastiff named Leon - Scott Pinsker is an avid sports fan who enjoys watching all the football his wife can tolerate.
