This episode of “Pitch Live with Amy Summers” podcast takes a look back at Sally Greider’s #internship #mentorship at Pitch Publicity® and how that early foundation helped launch her into one of the most competitive arenas in media. Now a director at Horizon Media in New York City, Sally leads digital advertising for brands, specializing in cross-channel, full-funnel campaigns that turn big ideas into measurable impact. A University of Florida graduate with dual degrees in English and Public Relations, Sally quickly rose from standout Pitch Star to a leader known for building high-performing teams, thriving in high-pressure environments, and bringing both strategic precision and creative vision to everything she touches.

Key pitching/mentorship takeaways from Sally Greider on this episode of “Pitch Live”:

• Deliver clean, concise updates that move decisions forward.
• Don’t wait for annual reviews. Proactively align with managers on career goals.
• Show you care: take initiative, ask questions, and stay engaged.
• Pressure-test your own pitch — know the gaps and how you’re addressing them.
• Lead with curiosity and ask “why,” not just give direction.
• Stay steady under pressure — calm + positivity drives team confidence.
• Balance constructive feedback with recognition and praise — both matter.
• Maintain relationships beyond the role because mentorship doesn’t end when someone leaves.
