In this episode of Cultivate CNY, we’re excited to welcome Holly Conti to the show!
As managing partner of Full Swing Public Relations, Holly is helping reshape the media landscape—one mission-led story at a time. With a background in journalism and a drive to create meaningful impact, she co-founded Full Swing with a bold vision: to help purpose-driven brands turn visibility into influence. In just a few short years, she and her business partner Caitlin Copple scaled the firm to seven figures—an achievement that places them in the top 2% of women-owned businesses nationwide.
Holly’s work centers on elevating underrepresented voices, particularly women, LGBTQ+ leaders, and social impact founders. Under her leadership, Full Swing has earned national recognition—including back-to-back appearances on Inc. Magazine’s list of fastest-growing companies in the Rocky Mountain region. Earlier this year, Holly was also named to the 2024 CUSE50, honoring top-performing ventures led by Syracuse University alumni.
In this episode, we talk about Holly’s journey as an entrepreneur, how intentional growth fuels sustainable success, and why showing up with purpose is the most powerful PR strategy of all.
