Lee Bagdasarian Rech or “LBR”
President
Lee founded LBR Communications in 1996 and is responsible for the overall strategic direction, growth, and management of the company. Building on her more than 25 years of marketing/public relations, professional documentation, and technical writing experience, Lee created LBR Communications to provide her business, non-profit and political clients with a greater value proposition for their communications and development needs than they could derive from a larger, less customer service-focused agency. Her results-oriented drive and affable nature ensure every LBR client achieves their PR and development objectives, no matter the desired result.
During her tenure as owner and president of LBR Communications, Lee has supported a variety of businesses with superior public relations and marketing strategy support including PatchLink Corporation (now Lumension Security™), an enterprise patch management company, where for six years she and colleague Melissa Clyne achieved and secured numerous media/analyst relations successes and relationships culminating in the company’s ability to secure $35 million in funding in August 2004 and subsequently grow the business worldwide. After successfully supporting PatchLink’s public relations efforts through a merger and buyout, LBR Communications helped launch and market CellTrust Secure Mobile in 2005. Today, CellTrust is a global leader in secure collaborative mobile communication and mobile aggregation for healthcare, government, financial services and enterprise across 200+ countries and over 800 carriers and mobile operators worldwide.
Other professional public relations and writing achievements as the owner of LBR Communications include several featured and by-lined articles for clients including article placements in IT SECURITY, Cyber Defense Magazine, Certification Magazine, Network World, Symposium, Construction Excellence; as well as editorial placement for clients in trades, dailies, as well as national consumer and business publications and segments on TV including Arizona Republic, Federal Computer Week, Government Computer News, Chronicle of Higher Education, Education Technology News, Forbes.com, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News, Utah Business, The Provo Herald, Salt Lake Magazine, The Standard-Examiner, Phoenix Business Journal, OC Register, Bloomberg, Fox13, KUTV Channel 2 (CBS affiliate), ABC4, KSL TV Channel 5 (NBC affiliate), FNC, among others.
Current and past clients include: Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, Packsize International, Mity Inc., Zaniac, Hess, Nooter Construction, TheFormTool, CellTrust Secure Mobile, women’s suffrage anniversary celebration and leadership advocacy non-profit Better Days 2020.com, Pioneer Day Raft and Run, among other clients spanning both non-profit and for-profit sectors.
