About + Contact Be Inkandescent Magazine

Hello and welcome to Be Inkandescent: The online magazine for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs. Our new online magazine is published by Inkandescent Public Relations, a PR, Marketing, Publications and Design firm founded in 2008 that helps entrepreneurs get the visibility they need to keep their companies growing.

In January 2010, founder and president Hope Katz Gibbs, a journalist since graduating from the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School of Communications in 1986, launched the e-publication to spread the word about the great entrepreneurial businesses and ideas her clients were spearheading. The online magazine also offers useful tips to other entrepreneurs who are either new to the “work for yourself” world, or are looking to take their companies to the next level.

The gem of the magazine is a regular feature, Entrepreneur of the Month, which spotlights a business owner who earns at least $10 million a year, has been in business for 5 years, and is still running the company they created. These heavy hitters also offer Tips for Entrepeneurs.

Clients of Inkandescent Public Relations are featured in each issue. Prospective clients, and entrepreneurs who have a great story to tell, are invited to purchase advertorial and ad space on the ezine.

We’ll look forward to talking to you!
