Sharon L. Goldmacher
President

Sharon L. Goldmacher is a veteran in the marketing public relations industry, beginning her career in Atlanta in 1987. She develops strategic-level, results-oriented marketing PR campaigns for clients in industries from consumer products and real estate to technology and food/beverage.

Competitive by nature, she created communications 21 in 1992, at the naïve age of 28 to see if she could do it. Within the first two years, she won the DeKalb Chamber’s Stargazer award for “Small Business Start-Up of the Year” and the Young Advertising Professional Award presented by the Atlanta Ad Club.

Giving back to the community and education are high on her “to do” list and she has devoted time (both hers and company time) to nonprofit organizations including Hands On Network, Hands On Atlanta, Literacy Volunteers of Atlanta and Outward Bound. She also chaired the PR committee for the Atlanta Local Organizing Committee that brought the NCAA® Men's Final Four® to Atlanta in March 2007.

Sharon regularly guest lectures at the Roberto C. Goizueta Business School at Emory University, and is the past president of the Atlanta chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA).

While going to college in “The Big Easy” (a.k.a. New Orleans), she graduated cum laude from Newcomb College/Tulane University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and communications (and almost a minor in dance). During school, she worked at the NBC affiliate, WDSU-TV, which convinced her to choose another career path.

While a love-hate relationship, golf is her latest passion, and her favorite golf saying is "fairway-play is for sissies."
