MEET THINK PRESS: Monica Hopman - I moved to New York City in 1996 and interned at several labels before settling in at Mammoth Records (Joe Henry, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Fu Manchu, etc) for three years in the publicity department.
In 2000, I left for Los Angeles to take a job at an indie pr firm working with a variety of artists including R.L. Burnside, Matthew Ryan, Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, Hayseed Dixie, Marc Broussard, Suzanne Vega, Great Big Sea, The Sundance Channel (Sonic Cinema Seasons 1 & 2, "If I Should Fall From Grace" Pogue's documentary), Lisa Loeb, The Yardbirds, The Young Dubliners and many others.
That's where I stayed until my departure in August 2003 and THINK PRESS opened its doors shortly thereafter. A full list of current/past clients is available online.
When I need to get out of Los Angeles to recharge, you can most likely find me in the mountains, desert or abroad embracing my other passions: mountaineering, rock climbing and travel.
What you might not know about me: i'm left handed, have visited 30 U.S. states and four continents, climbed to the highest point in Africa (19,342 ft) and haven't met a dessert i didn't like.

"Monica has gone above and beyond the call for our artists at Cheap Lullaby Records. She is more than our publicist, she’s part of our team.” Joe Ross, GM Cheap Lullaby Records
"Monica is, quite simply, the best. She does a great job, is always willing to try something new and is unfailingly honest and polite even when giving you bad news. However, I should add that she never ceases to come up with meaningful publicity from sources both expected and unexpected." - Larry Kirwan, leader of Black 47, novelist and playwright
"THINK PRESS has been an essential part of our marketing plan over the past two years. Monica is incredibly professional, aggressive, and meticulous in her follow through and reporting. We've been so pleased with the results she's been able to achieve that I'd say hiring THINK PRESS has been about the biggest no-brainer decision we've had to make so far." - Danny Hest, StarPolish Management

"Monica has been a total pleasure to work with. She is smart, organized (her progress reports are a work of art!), efficient, effective -- and on top of all that, a wonderful and warm person. We were really happy with the results from our national release press campaign, and I continue to work with her on ongoing tour press. I recommend her highly."
