Dear event planners, convention planners, and communications directors:

Literally The Master of Ceremonies - Rich Shea.  

Rich wears two hats.   He and his brother are partners at Shea Communications, a public relations firm based in New York that provides consumer, b2b and crisis communications to large and small corporations as well as government entities.    As a P.R. professional, Rich has represented a range of interests from MetLife and the New York City Detectives to Netflix.

Rich may argue, however, that his more unique role is acting as President of Major League Eating, originally known as the IFOCE.   It is Major League Eating that brings us the internationally known Nathans Famous July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Championship.  Literally seen around the world, this event garners Super Bowl-level media coverage on a perennial basis.  

I have worked with Rich for many years on various projects (one of which earned an Emmy) and I can attest to his mastery of P.R. and his skill at producing and publicizing large scale events that secure coverage from the country's largest media outlets.  If you are looking for a firm that can provide impactful consumer publicity and also handle highly sensitive crisis situations, Shea Communications is the best of the best.    Also, if you are in need of a master of ceremonies with an edge, Rich will deliver time and again.  The video clip below is a sample of his, well, "lighter" work.  Best with your event.  Ewell
