Ramey Warren
Partner
Ramey Warren, known by Hollywood insiders as “The Guest Whisperer,” is passionate about good presentation. She learned early that an interview could make or break a show or a career. Learning all that went into a great interview became a top priority for her. “I’ve always been fascinated by how celebrity weaves its magic spell on us all. Turning the chemistry of talent into a positive media personality is an art form.” Coming from Texas, Ramey Warren was destined to think big. Her career in the realm of celebrity began on a grand scale working with the parade of entertainers and stars that passed through The Tonight Show during Johnny Carson’s reign. Her experience there introduced her to practically every celebrity on the planet and drummed into every cell the importance of media exposure – “the right kind of media exposure” – in moving a performer’s career forward. Ramey moved forward herself, to talk and lifestyle series on Fox, ABC, and syndication, and created and produced shows for Paramount, NBC, Universal and Twentieth Television. She also developed series for HGTV, Fine Living and Style. With her former business partner, Adora English, Ramey formed Media Savvy to coach performers, rising stars and celebrities in the skills vital to getting positive exposure in the media: on talk shows, in interviews, at press junkets and before the public. Media Savvy made history by crafting a new genre of television utilizing the unique psychic talents of John Edward. Crossing Over with John Edward put The Sci-Fi Channel on the map as a source of edgy and startling reality programming. “We recognized immediately that John had the ability to touch something deep inside the viewer, something TV had never tapped before.” That ability to recognize breakthrough talent led to the creation of an incubator for developing concepts, franchises and personality brands. Media Savvy’s connections and rapport with the community of celebrity brought the TV Guide Channel knocking on their door. Media Savvy was instrumental in its launch and was its exclusive production arm for almost five years, booking and producing over 2,000 TV, music, and sports celebrity interviews and appearances. This experience helped establish Media Savvy as an unequalled celebrity contact resource. For the last few years, Ramey has partnered with former public relations executive Alejandra Ayala-Kiernan concentrating on media coaching and strategy, Internet development, marketing public speaking concentrating on brand development, media coaching, internet development, marketing, product integration and public speaking. As the President of Media Savvy Plus, Ramey helps her clients create moments to remember and win over audiences and boardrooms, by working to find their truest selves. Ramey and her on call team of producers and coaches can deliver one on one coaching as well as full scale mock interviews or pilot presentations. Ramey is a Hollywood insider with a proven track record as the voice of authority when it comes to on camera presentation.
