Mr. Bogart is a public relations consultant who combines in-depth communications experience with knowledge of Wall Street, accounting practices, reporting requirements and the regulatory environment in which public companies must operate. 

His agency experience includes positions as a vice president at The Financial Relations Board/BSMG and account executive at Kekst and Company.  He began his communications career as a public relations specialist at Western Electric, now Alacatel Lucent.  His clients have ranged from high tech, telecommunications, media, and electric utility companies to management consulting, law, executive search and financial services firms.  

Companies have drawn on Mr. Bogart’s multi-disciplinary background for both counsel and execution.  Examples of his work include advising a $700 million NYSE company on its positioning and financial presentation; conducting perception studies for energy and life insurance companies; drafting the annual report, investor profile and annual meeting remarks for an apparel manufacturer; arranging investor meetings for food and high tech companies; and improving the visibility of an electric and gas utility company.

When a biotech company saw most of its revenue dry up due to the breakdown of newly installed production equipment, he advised on the investor conference call and helped shape the messages.  When a high-tech manufacturer replaced its entire product line with a newer version expected to incur losses during the introduction period, he acted quickly to ensure that investors would view the unanticipated decision in proper perspective. 

Mr. Bogart makes use of his experience as a wire service and newspaper reporter when advising clients on media matters.  Feature stories about his clients have been carried by, among others, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, The New York Times, Business Week, The Economist, The Financial Times, CBS, ABC, Fox 5, Bloomberg, Reuters and Dow Jones.  Articles under his own byline have appeared in The New York Times, PRSA Journal, NIRI Update, Electrical World, Mergers & Acquisitions, and Directorship.
