My Why:

I went from making the news to making headlines for my clients.

After 17 years as a producer at WJBK Fox 2 Detroit, I know what makes a story worth telling, and more importantly, how to tell it in a way that gets people to stop and pay attention.

I'm Connie Smith, founder of High Five PR. With over 22 years in broadcast media, I've spent my career turning complex stories into compelling content. Now I use those same skills to help small business owners, creatives, and entrepreneurs get seen, get heard, and get results.

My path here wasn't conventional. I grew up navigating circumstances most people only read about, and that experience taught me something powerful: owning your story is where your power lives. That belief is at the heart of everything I do for my clients.

I started High Five PR with two things close to my heart. First, to build a business strong enough to support my six kids, three of whom we adopted from foster care in 2024. And second, to pour that same energy into the businesses of others, because I believe everyone deserves the foundation to dream big, grow boldly, and succeed on their own terms.

Whether you need PR strategy, media coaching, or help showing up boldly on social media, I'm here to help you step into your story and share it with the world.
