I would like to hire a Marketing Specialist

I need some help with finding some leads. We are an interior design duo, combining our companies to create one firm. We will be based in Atlanta, GA and as we launch, would like to create some hype around our new company to be seen as "Atlanta's hot new design duo to hire" except definitely not in those words :) We need someone to help us create relationships with print companies, web companies as we are interested in being featured on blogs and local publications to tell our story, let people know about our interesting dynamic of how our company came to be and get our name out there. We also would like to create relationships with individuals in the entertainment/creative industry to help be our voice and look out for opportunities to collaborate, volunteer and eventually generate leads and clients. We are open to whatever this situation may be - if it's on a monthly basis, etc. Open to conversation about this marketing venture.
