Brooke Summers

Brooke Summers shares her time between the agency, grad school and nearly every sport imaginable. She graduated from Skidmore College in 2003 as a varsity member of the Equestrian Team and president of the Snowboard Club. Before joining OutsidePR, Brooke served in marketing for both Stratton Mountain Resort and Wells Fargo Bank, with a two-year sabbatical as a snowboard bum in the Sierra Mountains. She is currently working towards an MBA degree in marketing at San Francisco State University and often can be found cruising the streets of San Francisco on her bike or digging out her snowmobile in Tahoe. She is the enthusiastically over-qualified junior member of the team and brings with her a passion for writing and sports marketing.

Kelly Blake

While Gordon Wright is nominally in charge of OutsidePR, few dispute the fact that Kelly Blake is the agency’s most feared and dynamic publicist. Fearsomely organized, vastly energetic and widely known, Kelly has served as Strategic Marketing Manager for Jansport and as PR and Marketing Manager for Marmot. Additionally, Kelly founded her own outdoor-oriented firm, New Heights, in Jackson, Wyoming. Now happily relocated to the Bay Area, she serves as an account manager for OutsidePR and has continued to run, climb and ski while raising her young family.

Josh Gosliner

Josh Gosliner is the youngest, most enthusiastic member of Outside PR, and also its snappiest dresser. An All-League athlete in volleyball and basketball, Josh is appalled at the difficulty of endurance racing and gets his fitness by running to get his elders coffee, postage and pastries. Josh’s great value to the firm is his fearless online and telephone pitching to the highest levels of media, which has resulted in placements for our clients in the Associated Press and the Austin American Statesman, among others.
