About Me

JOANNE PARULIS

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT

For over 25 years, I have been marketing some of the area’s most successful employers including The Yuengling Brewery; Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center; McCann School of Business and Technology; Progressive Vision Institute; Ghosh Orthodontics; Williamson, Friedberg & Jones; Reading Anthracite; Comfort Inn & Suites; and Mountain Valley Golf Course.

In addition to running my own marketing and communications consulting firm, I served as the Executive Director of Schuylkill County’s VISION. VISION is a community-based non-profit organization that works to develop and strengthen collaborations that positively impact the future of Schuylkill County.

I was the Marketing & Public Relations Director for the Yuengling Brewery, where I developed and managed the brewery’s first marketing department. I worked on the repackaging and relabeling of all five Yuengling beers, the market roll-out of Yuengling Lager, all forms of product marketing, sales promotions, and advertising. I also introduced the brewery as a tourist attraction to the area by scripting a formalized brewery tour.
