Los Angeles, June 2, 2025 – Today, Buzzer, the communication and consultancy agency serving clients at the intersection of innovation and entertainment, announced the appointment of Natalie Yallouz as its President. A seasoned publicist in both industries, Yallouz joins Buzzer from leading entertainment agency, MPRM Communications, where she served as Executive Vice President, leading its corporate, digital, audio, and tech practice.

In her new role, Yallouz will oversee company operations, foster strategic partnerships, and expand Buzzer’s media and thought leadership services, including award strategy, executive visibility, and speaking platforms. She will report to Buzzer Founder and CEO Dana Block and work alongside Liz Villafan, VP of Digital Entertainment and Consumer Technology, who joined the company from Amazon to strengthen its corporate and crisis communication offerings.
As entertainment companies increasingly leverage technology to build deeper connections with audiences and as brands look to entertainment as a powerful driver of consumer engagement, Buzzer provides a unique offering: a nimble, strategic communications partner built for creator-led brands, next-gen entertainment companies, and forward-thinking marketers. With Yallouz on board, she will help lead client strategies across Buzzer’s expanding portfolio, including Paris Hilton’s 11:11 Media, Spotter, Josh Flagg’s Estate Media, Tongal, LOST iN (former Jukin Media alum) and Doing Things portfolio of the most popular creator-led brands (Recess Therapy, Overheard, and Bob Does Sports).
Yallouz’s appointment also formalizes a long-standing partnership with Block. The two began their careers together at MPRM nearly two decades ago and, in recent years, have continued to collaborate through MPRM’s role as an agency partner, supporting breakthrough clients such as 11:11 Media and Spotter. Yallouz will continue to oversee Buzzer’s relationship with MPRM while working closely with Block and Villafan to grow its Buzzer Collective—a network of seasoned agency partners and independent consultants, including Relativity Ventures / Women in Entertainment, Human Public Relations, Hello St.Clair and DustUp Communications.
“Natalie has been a trusted colleague, creative partner, and strategic powerhouse for nearly two decades, and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome her to Buzzer,” said Dana Block, Founder and CEO of Buzzer. “From the moment we began working with her as a Collective partner, Natalie has brought tremendous value to our clients—helping shape impactful media strategies, award campaigns, and thought leadership platforms. She deeply aligns with our vision of rethinking how communications teams support modern entertainment, brand, and tech companies. With Natalie joining our leadership team, Buzzer now offers clients senior-level strategy without the traditional agency overhead—providing everything they need to drive awareness, tune-in, and long-term growth at scale.”
Yallouz brings nearly 20 years of experience developing and executing high-impact communications strategies for some of the most influential companies in entertainment, digital media, and consumer technology, including SXSW, Viz Media, Google Play, Snap, Fullscreen, Studio71, Wattpad, and Stampede Ventures. Her clients have earned top-tier media coverage and major industry recognition, including Adweek’s “40 Under 40,” CNBC’s “Changemakers,” Inc’s “Female Founders,” Fast Company’s “Most Innovative Companies,” and Variety’s “New Leaders.”
“Joining Buzzer feels like a natural evolution of the work Dana and I have been doing together as part of the Buzzer Collective over the past two years, and a full-circle moment, having first worked side by side at MPRM back in 2007,” said Natalie Yallouz, President of Buzzer. “Throughout our careers, both together and independently, we’ve shared a passion for helping companies at the intersection of entertainment and technology tell meaningful stories. I’m honored to step into this role and help scale a model that puts senior-level strategy, creative storytelling, and meaningful client relationships at the center of everything we do.”
Buzzer officially launched in 2023 to serve companies reshaping how people create, consume, and connect through entertainment. With a deep understanding of today’s evolving media landscape, Buzzer has carved out a distinct niche helping entertainment companies and brands build more authentic, experience-driven relationships with audiences. The company combines independent consultancy with the scalability of its Buzzer Collective—a curated network of top-tier communications talent shaped by the digital entertainment revolution.
Since its founding, Buzzer has experienced year-over-year growth, a reflection of its strong client partnerships and increasing demand for culturally relevant communications. With Yallouz helping lead the next chapter, Buzzer is poised to deliver even greater value for clients through strategic visibility, thought leadership, and cultural impact.
