Glenn Mastro, President/Partner

​

After a successful stint working for PR giant Burson-Marsteller, as well as honing his skills in the sports marketing world, Glenn Mastro founded Mastro Communications, Inc., (MC) in 1995 to build a company that managed agency-based public relations and marketing that was unique to Madison Avenue. Coming from the global agency life, he wanted MC to operate as a large-scale firm, but packaged in a boutique atmosphere that offered a strategic, informed resource for media, analysts and clients, while providing a positive, people-oriented place to work.

 

As head of MC’s 10-person executive staff, Mastro oversees all areas within the company including corporate focus and direction, client services, business development and day-to-day operations. He also provides MC’s clients with public relations and marketing counsel and strategy development for corporate, brand and/or product-related business initiatives. Mastro has more than 25 years of public relations and marketing experience in consumer products, technology, sports, sporting-goods business, beverage, healthcare, travel and general-interest fields, including the establishment of Mastro Communications, Inc. Mastro has managed, and continues to oversee, product launches, corporate communications and brand management for a breadth of major national and/or market leading companies, including RWJBarnabas Health and the PGA of America, among many others.
