NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Award-winning Public Relations veteran and uber creative media maven Pamela Johnston has launched a new full-service public relations firm, Cloud12 PR.  Why Cloud12? Because Cloud12 reaches for the outer limits with their ideas and arrives at a place that's above what anyone has ever thought of.

"We elevate everything we do at Cloud12 and that is embodied in our name," said Pamela Johnston.

Respected by peers, journalists and clients alike, Pamela Johnston has spent 20 years developing strategic solutions that answer her clients' desire to drive business results.  Her approach is sometimes unconventional, always creative, seldom the expected, and proven highly successful.

"Think big.  Almost everyone out there can benefit from Pam's magic.  Wow, it's just beautiful to look at all this press."  Michelle Peluso, former CEO of Travelocity and President of Site59

"It seems Pamela that you're responsible for the rain, the wind through the trees and the gravitational pull of the earth."  Howard Lefkowitz, VEGAS.com former President

"If I had to choose 1 person to be marooned on an island with it would be Pam. She would somehow make the island famous and convince an airline to start flying there."  Michael Dweck, President, Dweck!

"In every company I've brought Pamela into, she's delivered time and time again with fresh ideas, fantastic results and a fun working relationship."  Ken Grunski, President of Telestial

"She must have invented the term: 'think outside the box.'"  Michael Gross, President, Global Travel International, and Pamela's very first client  

"My dirty little secret is that I have been taking credit for all of Pamela's accomplishments – and they are considerable -- ever since she went out on her own."  Iris Maitland, Pamela's Mom

Dozens of accolades adorn Pamela's shelves and virtual walls, including a Brandweek Guerilla Marketer of the Year Award and Top 25 Most Brilliant Minds in Sales & Marketing from the Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International (HSMAI).
