Michael has a new publicist?
Gone on Business, but Back by Storytime
Frequent Flier
IT’S no secret that publicists travel a lot. In nearly two decades, I’ve probably circled the globe at least twice, going on tour, on photo and video shoots and doing what publicists do, which is helping clients at a moment’s notice. I always loved the whole experience of arriving in a new place.
But things have changed.
I have become the queen of the one-day trip. I never thought I’d be this person who wants to be close to home all the time. But I am, and my friends think I’m nuts.
My crazy one-day-trip obsession was born from both practicality and paranoia. I can’t stand losing a whole day on a cross-country flight so I’d rather be sleep-deprived than stuck on a plane. And paranoia is something that almost all entrepreneurs understand. When my daughter was born, I was in a senior position at Epic Records. It’s tough to run with the big boys, and I didn’t want my boss or my artists to think a new baby would stop me from traveling.
Now with my own company, I have the same challenges. My clients have become my bosses, and I don’t want them feeling abandoned.
My goal for the perfect business trip is to leave in the morning, come back in the evening, with no one the wiser, especially my daughter, who counts on me for gymnastics and music classes, home-cooked meals and mom time.
Recently, I’ve flown twice to Las Vegas to meet with my client Michael Jackson. For my first meeting, I left on a 6:30 a.m. flight from Kennedy International Airport and, because of the time change, arrived in Las Vegas early in the morning.
Though I wasn’t staying the night, I booked a hotel room since I had a lot of time between my arrival and my meeting. The hotel room was amazingly inexpensive, and gave me a place where I could do some work, reply to e-mail messages and keep on top of any crisis that might have been happening back in New York. As soon as my meeting ended, I packed up and took a 9 p.m. flight back to the city.
Other recent one-day flights included a trip to Los Angeles in the morning to oversee an entire press junket with Quincy Jones. I also made a day trip to Miami for a Jennifer Lopez record release party, had a one-day excursion to Nassau in the Bahamas for a magazine shoot for Shakira, and met with Oprah Winfrey’s show producers in Chicago. The best news about all these trips is that my daughter rarely had time to register that Mommy was gone for a while. And neither did my clients.
I recently did a one-day trip to Paradise Island, Bahamas, for my client Sean Kingston. He was booked on the television show “Live With Regis and Kelly,” which was shooting on location there. Sean, who is a teenager, was supposed to be swimming with the dolphins. But when it came time to pick him up to leave for the airport, he was nowhere to be found. With the help of a search party on golf carts, Sean was finally located and then deposited at the airport. Even the best efforts of a teenager couldn’t ruin my record of being the queen of the one-day trip.
