We are a media management team conduit.  We are not a publicist.  We are not an agent.  We are not the highest priced game in town.  We are your media managers.

Consulting and Strategic Planning

            Although Sherill Whisenand Cruz has been in the media business for 30 years, Wise Connections LLC was founded in 2000 as a clearinghouse for the speaker to connect with the international and national bureaus, cruise ships bureaus and select collegiate bureaus.  Our uniqueness is what we add to the mix that no speakers bureau will do is full media coverage:  radio and television, newswires and newspapers in the city where you may appear—at no additional charge to you, our speaker.

While our cornerstone product is speakers bureaus, we are media managers, providing all your media needs—excelling in radio and television media tours and public relations expertise.
