Education and career

Breakenridge grew up in New Jersey, and she attended Glassboro State College.[1] After working in the public relations industry, she returned to the Fairleigh Dickinson University to get her MBA.[2] Afterward, she continued working in public relations agencies before opening her own agency, Pure Performance Communications.[1][3] She has also taught classes at several universities as an adjunct professor.[2][3]

Work

Breakenridge's first book, Cyberbranding: Brand Building in the Digital Economy (2001), is about how companies can market their brand online.[4] Her 2008 book, PR 2.0 New Media, New Tools, New Audiences, offers public relations groups a way to get involved online in new technologies.[5]

In 2009, Breakenridge published Putting the Public Back in Public Relations with Brian Solis. The Journalism and Mass Communication Educator wrote that the book is useful and well-organized for both beginners and advanced individuals in public relations.[6] The book also describes new trends in social media and how all PR individuals can use these techniques.[7] Putting the Public Back in Public Relations also advises those in PR positions to take on leadership roles to promote the use of the new techniques described in the book.[8]

Breakenridge has also worked on research, such as "Social Media Comes of Age: The Vocus 2011 Planning Survey," which she produced with Vocus in 2010.[9]
