Hi, I’m Cristian Salazar

I help mission-driven organizations to share their stories with the world through strategic public relations. My clients specialize in mental health, dementia research, and the news business. I’m currently Vice President at The Lead PR, based out of NYC.

I am also a journalist, with bylines in The Guardian, Daily Beast, Next City and many other publications. I previously worked for The Associated Press, Newsday and amNewYork.

I live and work in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
