William Lopez
Why PRSA? There are a few things that I am most passionate about; mentoring others and volunteering, and PRSA has given me an opportunity to exercise these goals to the fullest. My over 20 years of success in the PR industry, and ongoing efforts to stay ahead of trends and information through continued education has honed my leadership and management skills, allowing me to grow both professionally and personally. My recent certification in Diversity and Inclusion is one example of my commitment to
put forth my best in every situation to help others navigate changing times, current trends and ever-evolving protocols. Working alongside this group of talented and accomplished board members is a true joy and an amazing honor.
After starting a PR + Marketing career in his hometown of Chicago, William moved to San
Diego, and in 2000, founded Alternative Strategies. For over 20 years, he has acted as Principal
of Alternative Strategies, and his marketing and communications firm has expanded to become
one of San Diego’s leading agencies of its kind. Alternative Strategies now represents over 50
top restaurants, bars and hospitality groups throughout Southern California, along with a host of successful businesses in other industries which include retail, commercial real estate and
business complexes. William’s professional dreams have been realized with the many awards
he and his team have received, the increased growth of his client list, and the legacy of success his clients have enjoyed throughout the years.
William holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing and a master’s and doctorate in
Education from Northwestern University-Chicago. He gained significant marketing and PR
expertise during his tenure at such noted companies as Nordstrom’s, Enterprise Car Rental, Thrifty Car Rental, Nine West, and Planet Hollywood. Working with these companies gave William an inside look at everything from franchise-based organizations, to national
corporations, equipping him to know how to help businesses of every size succeed.
With a passion for continued education and remaining on the cutting edge in his industry,
William constantly dedicates himself to furthering his knowledge on current trends and
practices. His recent Certification in Diversity and Inclusion for Organizational Excellence from
Stanford University is one expression of his ongoing efforts to continue improving himself as an effective and inclusive communicator among his team, clients, and the public which he serves.

He is a stealthy marketing leader with experience in brand architecture that transcends cultural barriers for local, regional and national implementation ‘branding with a cultural pulse.’ But he goes one step further, managing with a heart for everyone who is involved in the process, which is a unique trait in the ever-evolving, somewhat unpredictable hospitality industry.
Beyond his professional track record, William has two unique passions which drive him to go
beyond the scope of his career goals. First, he is extremely motivated to mentor others on how to become the best they can be both professionally and personally. Secondly, William’s
dedication to serve knows no limits, as he not only donates his time, talents and resources to
groups such as Barrio Logan College Institute and Paws4Thought, he is driven to go above and beyond as a public servant on community forums and boards, such a North Park Mainstreet and Chula Vista’s Third Avenue Village Association.
Overall, William is a proven successful professional who has a true heart not only for his team
and clients, but for San Diego as a whole, and is always willing to take bold steps to give back to
the community he loves.
