In 2018, Fred Pesce, the founder and CEO of Pesce MediaWorks, was honored with the prestigious “King of Long Island” award, recognizing his significant contributions to the Long Island community in both business and philanthropy. The award was presented during the Kings of Long Island Awards, a renowned event organized by SCNG Events, a division of the Long Island Press. This event brings together leaders from various sectors—including business, culture, and community—celebrating those who have made a lasting impact on their professions and the wider community.
Fred’s journey to this honor is deeply rooted in his dual commitment to entrepreneurial excellence and community service. As the CEO of Pesce MediaWorks, Fred has led the company to the forefront of the marketing industry, offering comprehensive solutions that range from website development to social media management and beyond. His leadership has established Pesce MediaWorks as a trusted partner for businesses aiming to strengthen their brand presence and achieve their marketing goals.
However, Fred’s impact extends far beyond the business world. For the past six years, he has served on the Board of Directors for the Heart in Haiti School, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities and essential resources to children in Haiti. The Heart in Haiti School focuses on giving a “hand up, not a hand out,” ensuring that students have access to education, vocational training, and community workshops that empower them to build better futures.
Fred’s involvement with the Heart in Haiti School began in 2011 when he first visited Port-au-Prince in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake. This experience ignited his passion for the cause, leading to ongoing efforts to support the school. One of his most impactful initiatives occurred in March 2018, when he led a fundraising campaign that successfully raised $35,000 to build a library for the school. Fred, along with his son and a team of 23 volunteers, not only provided the financial resources needed but also played an active role in the construction and development of the school’s infrastructure.
The Kings of Long Island Awards is more than just a celebration of business success; it honors individuals who go above and beyond in their contributions to society. For Fred, this recognition underscores his holistic approach to leadership—one that integrates professional success with a deep commitment to social responsibility. His ongoing work with the Heart in Haiti School exemplifies the core values of Pesce MediaWorks: integrity, commitment, and a drive to make a positive impact.
Committed to Education and Community
As Fred continues to lead Pesce MediaWorks, his vision remains clear: to empower businesses with innovative marketing strategies while dedicating time and resources to causes that truly matter. His recognition as a King of Long Island is not only an acknowledgment of his past achievements but also a testament to his ongoing efforts to create a better, more connected world.
Fred’s story is one of leadership, compassion, and the belief that true success is measured not just by financial success, but by the positive change one brings to the community.
