Tara Pizzola

Born, raised, and college-educated in Ohio, Tara knew it was time to leave the enterprising Midwest and head to the big city early on in her lavish Miami University collegiate days. After several stints that included operating under the ingenious alias "Einstein" on an early morning radio show and investing into a "bear and bull" financial PR job at CJP Communications, Tara discovered M&F and experienced love at first speakeasy not long after.

And so the story unfolded… Tara joined Maloney & Fox in January 2010, where she brings a combination of public relations and marketing skills and social media savvy. Her responsibilities at M&F include serving as the sustainability and business guru for clients like Mercedes-Benz, smart and Brookfield Office Properties.

Tara has a well-rounded background, having worked in several sectors of PR and marketing including consumer, corporate and non-profit. She has marketed everything from video games to plastic containers to running shoes and sports apparel; and generated positive media coverage for banks, law firms and sales organizations.

Outside of the PR realm, Tara spends her time practicing yoga, taking long runs and relishing in shopping of all sorts. When not whipping up a new dish at her quaint Murray Hill (yes, Murray Hill) home, Tara enjoys working her way through NYC's endless list of restaurants one bite at a time.
