The No-nonsense Basics of Marketing and PR
 
Leslie Smith is the founder of McCormick L.A. Public Relations, where she delivers straightforward, results-driven marketing and public relations strategies to small businesses and nonprofits.
 
With more than 30 years of experience running her own consulting firm, Leslie has built a proven track record of designing and executing comprehensive campaigns that strengthen organizations from the inside out. Her client work spans from one-person startups to global corporations.
 
An entrepreneur at heart, Leslie has also taken her own product inventions to market. These ventures inspired her to begin teaching classes that simplify marketing for small businesses and community-based nonprofits.

She lives in Long Beach with her husband and their rescue dog, where they raised two daughters.
