Witty NZ Accountant in US Media Today

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monday, January 8, 2007

Witty New Zealand Accountant has Starring Commentary to US Leaders in US Media Today

Martz Witty, an accountant from Christchurch New Zealand was invited to be a featured columnist today in Levine Breaking News, the daily insiders’ publication of USA’s renowned and leading entertainment public relations expert, Michael Levine.

Witty, aged 42, was featured in today’s coveted “Face Space” column which is read daily by 178,000 key influencers in the USA, including the US president, senators, politicians, business moguls, leading media columnists and figures, such as Oprah Winfrey, over a hundred Oscar winners, and, US business leaders such as Donald Trump, with his blunt remarks about honesty in relationships being of top importance.

The Christchurch accountant was candid today about his surprise selection to address some of the US’ greatest living leaders. The column spot is estimated to be valued at $US 30,000 and it informs with breaking news as well as identifies key business, political and entertainment leaders of the future to keep an eye out for. But Martz Witty took today’s honor with a fine sense of humour.

“I think I was just as surprised to see my face being disseminated across the US media today, as my Dalmatian dog Miss Coke is, when I get her McDonalds for her birthday each year,” said the humorous Witty.

Witty’s column mention, today, of his Dalmatian dog being his best friend, has received wide appeal in the US, by the accountant’s down to earth approach which could be identified as being a very Kiwi parochial trait that the American market can not get enough of. Witty is very aware, that his identification as a future leader in the world of US business today in Levine Breaking News, is something to ponder about in the future.

“Today was just one of those unexpected things that happens and you are reminded that the world of business is both a far-reaching global world and also a small world, which we as Kiwis have an active part to play in shaping its forward direction with honesty and clarity,” said Witty.

“Having integrity in business is the way of the future, especially in an environment where visibility often equates to ‘business integrity’ in a media driven age. It’s important to have true integrity in all business dealings and relationships, more so then visibility alone,” said the mild-mannered Witty.

Martz Witty is a public speaker, business developer and author and plans to tour the Australia and the US with his upcoming business book in the near future. His mass US media exposure today to many of America’s top leaders, politicians and media experts, is a good sign for the humorous, dog-loving accountant from Christchurch, New Zealand for the upcoming year.

*LBN FACESPACE: Martz Witty ***QUOTE: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but don't be a doormat either" ***ROCKS MY WORLD: My Dalmatian dog. She's honest, straight up, what you see is what you get whether that be holes in the garden or stuff pinched off the bench and buried when you aren't expecting it. It's all about unconditional giving. No matter what sort of a day she's had she is always happy to see you and a tummy rub seems to fix all ills. I want to be a Dalmatian! *** CREEPS ME OUT: Deceitful deceptions creep me to the max. Even straight up and blunt indiscretions I can cope with but behind the back and hurtful acts creep me to the max because it festers a feeling of total distrust and although time supposedly heals all wounds those deceptions seem to keep coming back and haunting relationships, past, present and future. ***OCCUPATION: I am a professional speaker and business developer working in Oceania and now world-wide for small and medium businesses who want to get more for their time and effort *** FOOD I HATE: Shellfish of any kind. It's not the taste, texture or colours - I am allergic to them. ***ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Scorpio although I haven't used my "sting" for a long time.
