Founder & Lead Publicist
Teresa Bigelow
Teresa informally started Spiral5 in 2016 when, as a newly-minted independent publicist, she realized how important it is to have colleagues who really get what you're going through.
In 2020, in the throes of a global shutdown, Spiral5 was launched as a formal community and career platform.
​
Since 2011, Teresa’s own PR career has spanned agency, in-house, and contract roles, and has brought her around the world — from eight years in New York City to a one-year stint in Mumbai, and four years in Tulsa, Oklahoma before landing in New Orleans. ​
Teresa has put startups on the map that have gone on to become billion-dollar enterprises; she has crafted industry-shifting narratives for health companies; and promoted bluegrass legends, hip-hop icons, think tanks, and everyone in between. She was also among the very first PR professionals to work with brands and researchers in the quickly growing psychedelics space.
​
Her diverse experience gives her a unique level of intuition and range as she oversees the Spiral5 ecosystem.
​
She has been featured in Forbes, Thrive Global and Brit+Co. And not too long ago (but also not too recently), she was recognized as a PR News Rising Star 30 and Under.
