Lisa Geduldig is a San Francisco Bay Area-based bilingual (Spanish-English) publicist with almost 30 years experience in the field.

She has acted as the publicist for numerous arts and health-related clients promoting comedy, theater, dance, music, art openings, Latin American, Jewish, women’s, LGBT events, health issues, legal issues, political, senior events, non-profits, community organizations and events, press conferences, immigration rights issues...throughout Northern California. Most of the PR work that Lisa does revolves around EVENTS.

Lisa has an excellent track record, press data base, and relationship with the English and Spanish-speaking* press. She  has the advantage of being a performer (comedian), producer (large-scale comedy events), a former journalist (KPFA News and Noticiero Latino reporter), AND a publicist so she understands and has experience with all angles of event production, publicity, and promotion.
