Steve Lake, 

Creative Consultant

Steve Lake, President of Steve Lake Public Relations, Las Vegas, Nevada, has been an integral part of BARTHOLOMEAUX/Public Relations team since 2000. However, Steve and Carole Bartholomeaux have worked together on a wide variety of projects since the mid-1980’s.  Steve’s expertise is his tenacity and ability to secure placements of news releases when other public relations experts cannot succeed.

Steve has acted as a troubleshooter for many clients who have praised his keen analytical and intuitive abilities when it comes to problem solving as well as his uncanny ability to achieve placement in local, regional, national and international media for his clients.  These clients have included The Watch Man, The Four Queens Hotel & Casino, Media Arts, International, Washington, D.C.; Learn 21, Toppik, Inc.

Mark H. Kress, President of Toppik:  “We had previously engaged a large Public Relations firm to help us launch our new hair product, Toppik. The results they achieved were few; I terminated the relationship after six months.  I was pretty reluctant to start over again, but knew from our previous dealings that you had the qualities to make this difficult assignment work if it was possible. The results you achieved were beyond my expectations and certainly helped establish Toppik in key markets as well as in our industry. Your ability to break through resistance and follow up so aggressively was impressive, as was your communication with my company: I couldn't be more satisfied…”

Ray Lindstrom, President of The Watch Man:  “Steve Lake is the very best at what he does arranging for media exposure and publicity.  I have owned numerous businesses, large and small.  Steve is the only person I can count on to deliver exposure.  Steve Lake lets his performance do the talking; I have been associated with Steve for more than 17 years.  Coverage he has arranged includes CBS EVENING NEWS, FORBES MAGAZINE (twice), WALL STREET JOURNAL, USA TODAY, CANADIAN BROADCASTING COMPANY, NIKKEI RYUTSU SHINBUN (Tokyo’s financial newspaper), ADVERTISING AGE, UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL, ARIZONA REPUBLIC, ARIZONA DAILY STAR, ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, THE ROBB REPORT, ENTREPRENEUR and NATIONAL ENQUIRER.  He is so good that I have put him on lifetime monthly retainer to represent my firms to the national media.  And to repeat, he is the very best at what he does.  Nobody else ever even came close.”

Steve has worked with media throughout the United States and Canada, always with the same success rate whether he has been promoting a new brand of watch or an inspirational speaker.

Among Steve’s current clients are Body Bronze, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Las Vegas Chapter, and The Watch Man.

Steve also gives back to the community through such charitable events and affiliations as the MS Walk, the Inaugural MS3OO Motorcycle Rally from Phoenix, Tucson and Las Vegas to Prescott, AZ, and the MS 150 Bike Tour.  He has served on the Boards of the World Affairs Council, Big Brothers, and as Vice President of Programming, American Marketing Association, Phoenix Chapter and others. He is a former President of the Board of the American Bridge League, Las Vegas Chapter.
