Buzz Marketing was the inspiration and creation of Leslie Sonnenklar. After realizing that the simplicity of marketing comes down to “creating the buzz” with regards to a product or service, In September of 2001 Buzz Marketing was born. Sonnenklar has extensive knowledge in marketing and public relations with services ranging from media relations, creating and implementing marketing and public relations plans and writing ad copy to negotiating with third parties to develop promotional opportunities and ad placement.
Prior to Buzz Marketing’s initiation, Sonnenklar served as marketing coordinator for Houston’s major arena, The Compaq Center, and then director of marketing for the World’s First Domed Stadium, The Astrodome, and its sister facilities, the Astroarena and Astrohall. In these positions, she was responsible for the marketing and public relations campaigns for a variety of clients and events including WWE, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, Disney On Ice, Sesame Street Live and many more, as well as representing the facilities and its services. After her time at the Astrodome and facilities she moved back to Phoenix, Arizona and spearheaded the creation of the marketing department for a graphic design and marketing firm in Mesa, Arizona called Element Design + Communications. At Element Design + Communications, she concentrated on PR campaigns for a variety of corporate clients and played a strategic role in the collaboration of the design and marketing departments.
