Dana Jiles

Dana Jiles

Account Executive

Dana Jiles’ career path has taken her across the country and through several different industries over the past 12 years, but all in the public relations, advertising and marketing realm. Her creativity, passion and ability to market the companies she has worked for led Dana to her most favorite role as a trainer – teaching employees how to effectively market and sell products. A graduate of Jacksonville University, Dana spent many years in the Jacksonville real estate industry working for the largest management company in the nation. While climbing the industry ladder she landed in the same office with MC PR President and Owner, Maria Chrissovergis, working for one of the world’s largest publication companies of enthusiast magazines. As the strongest member of Maria’s sales force Dana effectively assisted clients with all their advertising, marketing and public relations needs. And in the down spiral of the real estate market, her clients praised Dana for her strategy of marketing on a shoestring budget. Dana’s ability to collaborate with clients, create an advertising campaign and bring it to life online and in print make her a vital part of the Maria Chrissovergis Public Relations team. Dana has quickly grown the agency’s client portfolio in our Charleston, South Carolina office. Her sales and marketing experience coupled with her training expertise have made Dana an invaluable extension to each of our clients.

  • I can say, 110% certainty, that Maria, Jennifer, Anastasia and the rest of the MCPR team are patient, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable.  Their guidance helped me take my online and social media marketing to the ‘next level’, and without their help, I can honestly say that I would have been lost.  Highly recommended!

    • Mike
    • Tampa
  • Recently I had a competing builder visit one of our models and he loved our magazine.  He asked how come they didn’t have something like this and I replied, because they don’t have MC PR & Marketing! Being a boutique custom home builder, it’s necessary to have a team that gives you every essential part of public relations and sometimes on a moment’s notice.  I can’t tell you the times I’ve sent a request late one day and find the beautiful results waiting in inbox the following morning.  This is the kind of quality service you can expect with MC PR & Marketing. You couldn’t ask for a better agency to partner with.  

    • Katrina Watkins, Sales and Marketing Broker
    • Glenn Layton Homes
  • …Our experience working with MC Public Relations & Marketing has been nothing short of phenomenal.  From discussing branding and marketing strategy, to sales training and event coordination, every element of our campaign was handled perfectly, so much so that after going “live” in April, we signed our first three clients before the end of the month. Maria and her team are an essential, integral part of our continued success (sometimes we forget she’s not an actual employee of Aria Homes!), and we are grateful for her keen eye, expertise, and unwavering commitment to our growth and success.
