Colleen Coplick’s Summary
Equal parts rebellious punk, social media guru and old school dork, I’ve been called a “creative powerhouse” (Nelson Branco, In Touch magazine). I’ve been applauded for being “busy running the show while other firms are waiting for their boring ideas to take hold,” as well. (Misty Harris, Canwest Global).
I have a background in traditional PR with a mile-wide geeky streak. I’m cheeky and blunt, and can usually get away with telling you exactly what I think and what you need to do without getting into trouble.
I’m a writer, a photographer, an instigator and a connector. I orchestrate situations from behind the scenes, much like the salonnieres of the 17th and 18th century.
I’ve been a writer all my life, and have been in PR for 7 years. I got my first taste of “real photography” while getting my PR education and immediately fell in love. I also found out I’m actually pretty good at it.
I’ve got a big giant soft spot in my heart for travel, and have been to Finland, Dominican Republic and Cuba. I’m planning more. Much much more.
“She makes you cool.” (Justin Keller)

Colleen Coplick’s Experience

Editor
Miss Manifesto
(Writing and Editing industry)
March 2008 — Present (1 year 10 months)
Blog network comprised of lifestyle topics.
Miss Manifesto is every girl you've ever wanted to date. She is dirty sexy, wickedly smart and fantastically blunt. She'll tell you exactly what you need to hear, whether you want to hear it or not. She's gorgeous, but approachable, never seen without stillettos, and is always dressed to the nines. She expects -- and gets -- men, and women, to do her bidding, usually before she's asked for anything. She's every woman's best friend and every man's fantasy, and she's the newest blog network for women.
Written for real women who don't need yet another vanilla sex tip, Miss Manifesto will rock the blog network world, rolling out almost 30 sites over the next year. -
