Lu Ann Reeb

Co-founder, Lu Ann Reeb – Emmy winning Executive Producer, who worked in Television News for more than 20 years. She was the Executive Producer at WBZ-TV/CBS Boston before starting Skyways Communications in 1999. As a TV journalist, she produced nightly news programs, documentaries and covered news stories, including Presidential elections, major national court cases, jetliner crashes, natural disasters, the Boston Marathon, and John Glenn’s second historic launch into space. She combines experience creating high quality video content with strategic marketing utilization of new media. A wide range of corporate clients turn to Skyways Communications to develop customized new media content paired with the best technology delivery. As Lu says, “There are two pieces of the communications puzzle today: Content and Delivery. For us, it is all about creating the best content and hitting a target audience with the best-suited technology – that’s what makes what we do really work. Technology will continually change – get better, faster, more convenient, but if you don’t have the best content delivered to the right audience, it really doesn’t matter how it is delivered. We design an individual strategy for each client.” She received her MBA at Suffolk University Sawyer Business School in Boston. She also has a single engine private pilot certificate and flies antique airplanes in her spare time.

About

In 1999 Lu Ann Reeb and Scott Hess from CBS Boston (WBZ-TV) had a vision for the burgeoning marketplace for video on the Internet. Even then, they knew that if corporate America expected to attract viewers and customers, new media content would be important. And now corporations cannot afford not to have a new media presence! So who better to produce new media than broadcast television professionals? Our team of producers, videographers, engineers, editors, and technicians consists of broadcast professionals who meet the high standard of quality expected in all of our projects.

In 2005, Legal Talk Network was launched, forging a B2B professional network for the legal community with timely legal podcasts hosted by lawyers and online video.

In 2008, Med Talk Network was launched in the same fashion with new media communications for the professional medical community.
