Alan Wallace is a terrific writer, storyteller, and top-drawer publicist. As a long time journalist, I've worked with many, many PR people over the years in various capacities. Alan was among the finest. So, fine, in fact, that I ended up hiring him at aNewDomain Media for a long stint. He is quite brilliant and did an extraordinary job with the early planning of BreakingModern, the content marketing site aNewDomain did for HTC. Hire him!
