English translation: contact person

German to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / This is for a letter
German term or phrase: Gesprächspartner
The direct translation is 'interlocutor' or 'speaking partner' or 'conversationalist'. It appears at the close of a letter which says, 'Feel free to contact us with questions regarding the information material, to set up and interview...." Ansprechspartner translates as 'contact' or 'contact person'. For 'Gesprächspartner' i believe there is a term that perfectly fits within 'public relations' lingo, but at the moment, this word alludes me.

disagree  Kim Metzger: "Talking pal" is completely out of the question. Talking partner isn't much better. Wrong register.
