Natalie Yallouz Named President Of Buzzer

PR veteran Natalie Yallouz has been named president of Buzzer, the communication and consultancy agency founded by Dana Block in 2023.

Joining from MPRM Communications, 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.

Yallouz rose to EVP at MPRM, having joined the PR and comms company in 2007. She left for a three-year stint at Soundfreaq before returning in 2016.

“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 Block, to whom Yallouz will report. “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.”

The two began their careers together at MPRM 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 work alongside Liz Villafan, Buzzer’s VP Digital Entertainment and Consumer Technology,

“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,” Yallouz said. “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.”
