Premier brokerage firm forms in-house public relations department

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA – January 15, 2008 – Metro Commercial, one of the region’s largest full-service retail real estate firms, today announced the appointment of Michael Reisman as Director of Communications.

A practiced executive with an established career in marketing, event management, and public relations, Reisman is spearheading several major public relations initiatives, significantly expanding the company’s relations with the commercial real estate sector and the media.

Reisman’s newly created position is part of the company’s transition from reliance on an outside communications firm to an in-house public relations team.

“Michael brings nearly a decade of experience managing internal and external communications for a variety of organizations,” says Steven Gartner, President of Metro Commercial. “His broad understanding of media and community relations will bring a new dimension to Metro Commercial’s public relations initiatives.”

Reisman was formerly Director of Public Relations at Northlight Advertising, where he managed media relations for the firm’s clients. Reisman also served as Public Relations Administrator at CertainTeed Corporation, a leading manufacturer of building supplies. In this role, Reisman was responsible for much of the company’s public relations efforts and served as editor for numerous company newsletters.

Reisman began his career as a journalist and has worked for such publications as the Wall Street-based newspaper, The Bond Buyer. He holds a B.A. degree from Temple University.
