Selig previously used "'search engine optimization' techniques to lessen the impact of negative Web news on his clients," according to the Tampa Bay business blog "Venture." [3]
Clients
In January 2009, the firm began representing Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, who had been impeached and faced a federal investigation into charges he tried to sell the former Senate seat of President Barack Obama. The firm's founder, Glenn Selig, said, "The governor has decided that he wants to speak and tell his side of the story, and he enlisted us to help." The firm booked Blagojevich on ABC's "The View" and "Good Morning America," but said Blagojevich won't be doing more morning shows, because "we don't want to overdo it," explained Selig. [4] Blagojevich also got on CNN's "Larry King Live." [3]
The Publicity Agency also represents Drew Peterson, a former Illinois police officer who's a suspect in the disappearance of his wife. [4]
