Gia Ricottone

President, CEO, and founder of GMR Media Relations

Gia began her career in the late 90’s while her children attended elementary school, finding her dream job as a part-time Ad Executive for a local magazine and trade show promoter. Her natural talent in sales and relationship building drove her success and sparked her ambition to become a business owner of her own.

In 2008, she successfully launched a lifestyle magazine that was distributed throughout Long Island. Built a distribution network, through the CVS pharmacy chain and local businesses, all while growing local and regional advertisers for the publication. The business grew to include the management and advertising sales of a newly launched association magazine. As the association grew, she re-directed her efforts from publishing to sales, finding her niche as a Media Sales Representative firm. The business continued to evolve, expanding into digital marketing, and the addition of new media properties and relationships to her book of business. 

Gia’s drive for the business continues. With tens of millions in sales, across digital and print media nationwide.
