Becker Communications, Inc. Specializing in marketing, PR, social media, and corporate communications Writer. Story Teller. Social Media Adventurist. Wife. Eldest of six girls. My Dad Says!

Dee Dee Becker offers a wealth of marketing, communications and PR experience which began in non-profit more than thirty years ago with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, American Diabetes Association and Sentara Healthcare (Norfolk, VA). In 1998, she founded Becker Communications, consulting with clients in the entertainment, transportation, education and legal sectors, including The New York Times

Company, Virginia Port Authority, and ESPN. Today, Dee Dee’s super powers are spent crafting and telling the stories of “health care systems doing good” for their communities. From life-saving health programs and service-line initiatives to extraordinary patient successes, Dee Dee leverages the power of digital media to maximize online presence, engage communities and build brand loyalty. Dee Dee’s expertise is rooted in communications planning, writing and management across multiple platforms including traditional, web and social media. Her background includes planning and managing major corporate communications and PR initiatives for health care organizations, ranging from mergers and acquisitions to program and service line publicity and crisis management. Ask her about the time a Navy jet crashed in Virginia Beach (all survived!) – her biggest exercise in media relations while working in hospital PR. When not consulting, this University of Mary Washington graduate wears myriad other hats: Virginia Tech Hokie mom. Dee Dee enjoys freelance writing, tennis, photobooking, and volunteering as an administrator for the Virginia Tech Parents Facebook group and a moderator for Grown and Flown Parents group. With tens of thousands of members and growing, she is wildly exhilarated by moderating (and commiserating in) the wiles and trials of like-minded “grown and flown” parents. In other words, she’s NEVER without an entertaining story! The personal side:
Dee Dee is the oldest of SIX girls, known as the Sixters. “We span 18 years from top to bottom…and every hair color from blonde and brunette to black and red! Ask Dad why he had six girls and he’ll answer, ‘Because I didn’t want seven.’” The stories she shares about family life could fill a complete series of books. Think a cross between My Big Fat Greek Wedding and $h*! Always up for a good challenge, she’s done it all: marketing plans, crisis communications, corporate communications, social media strategy and more. As a wife, mother and obsessed-with-tennis player, this red-headed spitfire spends the majority of her time content writing: websites, articles, news releases, blogs - anything! Given her family life, she never lacks inspiration for a good story. We’re certain a book entitled, “The Sixterhood Diaries” is just a matter of time. My favorite quote: "The human brain starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public." --George Jessel

Dee Dee’s Story

Writer. Story Teller. Social Media Adventurist. Dee Dee Becker offers a wealth of marketing, communications and PR experience which began in non-profit more than thirty years ago with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, American Diabetes Association and Sentara Healthcare (Norfolk, VA). In 1998, she founded Becker Communications, consulting with clients in the entertainment, transportation, education and legal sectors, including The New York Times Company, Virginia Port Authority, and ESPN. As a Facebook Power Admin, Dee Dee’s talents include crafting and telling the stories of health care systems and other industries “doing good” for the communities they serve. Nothing energizes her more than leveraging the power of digital media to maximize online presence, build and engage communities and strengthen brand loyalty.

Facebook here she comes! In February Dee Dee heads to Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, California to attend the 2019 Facebook Communities Summit where she will speak as part of a panel on Crisis Management and Disaster Communications. This is an invite-only event for Facebook Power Admins like herself and other leaders of businesses, nonprofits and interest-based communities who will come together to connect, learn from each other and hear from Facebook about the latest tools and programs they are building. Stay tuned as she shares more on what promises to be an unforgettable experience!
