About Earth
Earth O. Jallow is the owner of Down to Earth Public Relations, Inc. officially established in 2008, and located in the heart of Central Ohio. The company specializes in Publicity and Marketing, for published authors, motivational speakers, and other high-profile entertainers.
Earth attended Youngstown State University, Columbus State Community College, and Hondros College, with intense studies in Communications and Marketing respectively. She continued her studies at Cardwell Communications and is a member of the Ohio Marketing Association.
Since our inception, we have delivered excellence in service, integrity representation, and visibility to untapped audiences here and abroad. Ms. Jallow has been in the book industry for more that fifteen with her first book client, Bestselling international author, Joylynn M. Ross.
Earth began working with Joylynn in 1998. Joylynn became an international Essence bestselling author within three years of the partnership with DEPR. Duties included setting up book signings across the country for the client, securing transportation, hotel, stipends, sponsors, book ordering, collections, securing celebrity blurbs for book covers, and book placement in libraries and bookstores across the country.
Earth created The Literary Feast for DEPR, an exclusive intimate literary event featuring select vendors along with live music, art, and BOOKS all in one setting. This became a signature event for Joylynn M. Ross, and caught on quickly with other authors in various cities.
Leading Motivational Speaker Les Brown, already a larger-than-life motivational speaker and author with an incredible story, joined DEPR in 2006. As personal assistant and head of the Les Brown Fan Club, Earth handled all fan related inquiries (phone and letters), replenished book supplies for conferences, assisted in hosting Les Brown conferences, and routed calls to appropriate departments.
Earth joined Neo-Soul singer Erykah Badu on her Mama’s Gun tour as her personal assistant, securing radio interviews with various radio outlets and interviewing Erykah for Urban Flava Magazine.
Author and Radio host Khari Enaharo entrusted Earth with the marketing of his first title, Race Code War, and assisted him in making the Essence Bestseller list. Her company was responsible for placement of Khari’s title in bookstores and libraries, securing radio interviews, and ensuring books were ordered and shipped in time for book signings set up by Earth for the author. Khari made his national presence on a panel for BET twice with Earth’s help and her company was selected to represent his second title, Sex Code War, which is due out in 2023.
Ms. Jallow is also a highly sought-after workshop instructor and lecturer on a variety of topics dealing with the publicity and marketing portion of the literary business, ranging from “Why you need a Publicist?” to “Marketing 101.”
