Nikki Pesusich brings a wealth of public relations, marketing, branding and talent management experience to her role as co-founder and Chief Fusion Officer of Coterie, which recently spun out of NPPR, Inc., the company she launched in January 2001.

A seasoned PR professional, Nikki has worked for and alongside such entertainment powerhouses as NBC, PBS, TV Guide Network, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Planet Green, A&E, History Channel, Paramount Studios, MGM and Microsoft. Her diverse skill set has found her developing and implementing grand scale publicity campaigns, managing media and talent relations, producing special events, instituting product integration and cross-promotional opportunities, identifying strategic alliances, and generating custom-tailored marketing partnerships.

Prior to launching NPPR, Nikki served as Vice President of Entertainment for Rogers & Cowan, the world’s largest entertainment publicity firm, where she was responsible for instituting marketing, publicity and promotional campaigns for such clients as NBC Studios, FOX, Paramount Television, Universal Television, Columbia Tristar, PAX TV and ABC.

Nikki preceded her agency experience at A&E Networks, where she spearheaded the media and talent relations for A&E’s west coast office. There she developed and implemented high-profile campaigns and sponsorship opportunities while producing grand-scale special events to generate awareness for the network’s programming initiatives. Her efforts resulted in A&E’s first-ever Emmy nomination.  She also served as a Corporate Communications Publicist at the network’s New York headquarters where she played an integral role in the launch of The History Channel.

Throughout her career, Nikki has implemented numerous campaigns for high-profile television properties and personalities, as well as created awarding-winning Emmy and Golden Globe campaigns. Among the TV series Nikki has launched and branded are Will & Grace, Judge Judy, Dharma & Greg, Deadliest Catch, Monster Garage, American Choppers, The Crocodile Hunter, Man v. Wild, and Dirty Jobs, among many others.

Apart from the entertainment realm, Nikki has developed and executed winning media campaigns for such clients as luxury home furnishings company Shine Home; the exclusive wellness center Stone Eagle Retreat; the state-of-the-art cancer treatment facility Orange County Cyberknife and Radiation Oncology Center; Watson’s Pet Company; customized artwork by Alphabet Photography, Sama Eyewear; Lip Ink International, and celebrity power yoga guru Mark Blanchard.

Nikki honed her publicity skills while working at various media companies in New York City, including NBC, where she played an integral role in the Olympics TripleCast, the unprecedented pay-per-view telecast of the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. She began her career in advertising at Ogilvy & Mather where she worked on such accounts as American Express and Microsoft.
