‘The PR Whisperer®’ is Now My Registered Trademark!

July 25, 2024

I’m excited to announce that I’ve secued a registered trademark for ‘The PR Whisperer®.’ A former consultant, Gail Zuagar, gave me the moniker in 2017. I immediately put it to use, referring to myself as The PR Whisperer® on my website, business cards and in discussions with clients and partners.

Two years later, Paulette Brown, the first Black woman to helm the American Bar Association, recommended I pursue a trademark. She’d seen my business card during a meeting and asked if I had a trademark. Now, all these years later, I finally have one.

The PR Whisperer® channels my desire to persistently engage the media on behalf of clients leading notable and worthwhile work. I hope you’ll celebrate this moment with me and remember Spotlight PR LLC for your public relations needs. You can do so by leaving a positive review on Spotlight PR’s Google Business Page.

Bigger Than Me

Trademarks help communicate who a brand is and what they represent. This ensures consumers know who to trust and what to expect.  They’re also an excellent way to protect one’s legacy, intellectual property and work.

Do You Need a Trademark?

If you have a unique product or offering, you may want to pursue a trademark. Trademarks may prevent others from building off of your name and likeness and confusing customers and supporters. Want to learn more? See this article.

“Jennifer Farmer is an insightful listener and observer of human interaction. She uses her insights to speak directly to the core issues impacting leadership. Her analysis perceptively integrates gender, race, religion, and overall worldview to offer more nuanced understandings of leadership than the one-size-fits-all approaches more commonly promoted.”
