Leila Khalil – National PR Advisor
Leila joins WUW as the National PR Advisor. She handles all major media inquiries, national television interviews, and worldwide media relations.
Upon persistent recommendations and encouragement from her peers, Leila Khalil became inspired to help put wedding planners and vendors on the map while simultaneously hoping to fulfill a marketing void in the wedding industry. After several years of working as a wedding planner with many of the biggest vendors in the industry and achieving publicity for her clients in highly sought after bridal publications and television programs, Leila has officially expanded her services and expertise into public relations for clients in the wedding industry.
As a business school graduate from Santa Clara University, Leila’s career was launched in publishing, where she quickly became Marketing Director for a national business magazine, followed by the role of Editor-In-Chief for a Los Angeles online lifestyle magazine. This experience in publishing and writing gave her the appreciation for the successful use of media and public relations within companies’ marketing plans, as well as the understanding of what makes a good story. Both positions instilled within her the ability to be articulate, results oriented, and consistent while working under the pressure of deadlines. In 2004 she followed her calling to become part of the wedding and special events industry where she has been an asset to some of LA’s most recognizable wedding planners. She has helped produce elegant and opulent weddings, secured coverage on television wedding programs and in industry magazines, and devised innovative marketing concepts.
Today, Leila continues to create new ways to represent and market her wedding industry clients, whether she is helping them to grow their business from the beginning or keeping an established name as a leader in the industry.. Her energy and passion for the wedding industry and her personal experience within it, give Leila the genuine know-how to achieve marketing success for her clients.
