Publicist

Rick is a senior publicist at and co-founder of MWPR — a full-service public relations firm catering to a sophisticated and specialized clientele in the entertainment and lifestyle industries.

Marlan Willardson’s publicity career began in the movie industry working with talent on publicity campaigns for films grossing over 2 billion dollars at the worldwide box office. Rick Krusky’s business background and 20-plus years of experience in the industry from the other side of the camera made the two the perfect match for a Hollywood publicity team. So in 2006, they founded MWPR with the purpose of publicizing top-tier clients in the entertainment and lifestyle industries.

MWPR’s committed, forward-thinking team of media professionals examines and utilizes emerging trends to envision and execute the highest level of service in traditional and new media platforms.

News, Martha Stewart Living, InStyle, People, Us Weekly, OK!, InTouch, Veranda, Glamour, Redbook, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter – to name a few).
