Jeanne Rebillard, President

Jeanne Rebillard is president and CEO of Rebillard Public Relations, a public relations firm that offers media planning, event planning, and research and lobbying services to businesses, non-profit groups, and grassroots organizations.

Jeanne spent many years as a senior publicist with Sallyanne McCartin & Associates where she represented a variety of authors, and had the pleasure of creating many different marketing programs for them. From writing press releases, to developing press kits to promoting authors on media tours throughout major U. S. cities, Jeanne executed PR programs from start to finish. She booked guests on national media including The Today Show, Good Morning America, and 60 Minutes, as well as on National Public Radio, to name a few. She’s worked extensively with the print media both in the local area and on the national level to secure stories in such publications as The New York Times, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Time, and PEOPLE. Past clients have included C–SPAN, Rifton Aviation, The DoubleTake Documentary Film Festival, DoubleTake Magazine, The Leon Charney Report, and various authors.

From radio promotions to consulting jobs in the private sector to marketing director for a chain of eight weekly newspapers and two magazines, Jeanne has experienced public relations and marketing from both sides giving her insight to the needs of both the client and the media. She prides herself on listening to the needs of her clients — a skill she learned many years ago from a very wise media trainer.

In addition to her work, Jeanne brings a lot of life experience, fun, and creativity to her job. As the mother of two teenage boys she’s learned all about extreme sports, particularly extreme skiing — although she prefers being a spectator to the sport rather than a participant. In addition to skiing, Jeanne’s interests include hiking, gardening, holistic medicine, volunteering, and of course, time spent with her family — including the two dogs and one cat.

Jeanne is a graduate of Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY, and she resides in Amenia, NY, with her husband, Brad, and sons Andrew and Adam.
