From Principal, Margaret Skillicorn

I bring more than 18 years of Communications experience to Paragon PR + Marketing as its Principal and hands – on team member. My Communications career started in 2000 in San Francisco at Porter Novelli, an international Communications agency. My experience working at a “big” agency in San Francisco has proven to be invaluable. It were as if I was earning an MBA Communications while handling client work for some of the most competitive companies in the world.

In 2005 I relocated to Truckee, Calif. and launched Paragon PR + Marketing. Paragon PR + Marketing currently has long-standing clients in various industries including transportation, capital improvements, real estate, events (Truckee Tahoe Air Show!), golf and more.
