David Leibowitz

A consummate storyteller, David Leibowitz founded Leibowitz Solo in 2009. Since then, it has become one of Arizona and the Southwest’s “go to” public relations, political and crisis communication firms and won multiple awards as the state’s top PR agency.

He also hosted radio shows for KTAR and KFYI (Arizona’s two largest news/talk stations) and did TV commentaries for KPNX (NBC Channel 12), KNXV (ABC Channel 15) and KTVK (Channel 3).
