Ashley Carestia bio cover photo

I’m Ashley Carestia, APR—an award-winning Public Relations and Marketing strategist with over a decade of experience building brand authority, media presence, and revenue growth for clients in the legal, lifestyle, and luxury sectors.

Currently serving as Director of Marketing at Cohen & Sinowski, I lead firm-wide communications, branding, and client acquisition efforts. I develop and execute integrated marketing strategies that elevate visibility, drive targeted growth, and strengthen the firm’s reputation in a competitive personal injury landscape.

My foundation in entrepreneurship—as the founder of nationally recognized luxury brand Bark Fifth Avenue—equipped me with a deep understanding of audience engagement, positioning, and storytelling. From launching viral campaigns and building thought leadership platforms to securing earned media and developing high-converting digital content, I approach every initiative with precision and purpose.

Whether launching a new initiative, revitalizing a brand presence, or leading strategic communications for high-stakes clients, I bring bold ideas to life with precision, integrity, and purpose.

I’m passionate about crafting narratives that influence perception, build credibility, and drive measurable results. Whether repositioning a brand or building its reputation from the ground up, I bring both creative vision and strategic discipline to the table.
