How GreenRoom’s Emily Bertioli has adapted during COVID-19
After a jump across the Atlantic Ocean, this PR had to quickly adjust to the realities of the global pandemic while finding her feet.
Starting a job in a new country is always an adjustment, but that move came with an added wrinkle for Emily Bertioli.
Originally from the U.K., she moved from London to Miami last year. And then the pandemic hit, disrupting what was already a season of change for this PR pro. However, she’s found her footing with the help of a media list, a hybrid workplace schedule and plenty of coffee.
We caught up with her for the latest in our “Day in the Life” series. Here’s what she had to say about adapting during the many crises of 2020:
1. How much coffee do you drink during a day?
Bertioli: Two cups. I like my caffeine intake to bridge the time zones with an early cup for the East Coast and a later cup for the West Coast.
2. Who is the most important person you talk to every day?
Bertioli: The barista (see above). In all seriousness, it’s my other half. Close call though!
3. How much of your day is spent on Zoom calls?
Bertioli: Usually 1-2 hours and an occasional 4-hour transatlantic marathon on the weekend to catch up with my family in the UK.
4. What’s a tool you couldn’t live without right now?
