Hey would love to put our shop in front of your team 55MediaGroup.com

I am also now working in agency search. I already have pushed to have POC / Black agencies included in our capes RFI/RFP process. The only issue has been finding shops with significant pharmaceutical experience—which is a shame cause that’s where the money resides 💃🏾

It’s hard to understand COVID-19 rates of infection where I’m at or was, and the contracts was not inline with corporate ideals at least not in the IT sector. Their ideals was radical and the spread of harmful information on past events to prevent ethnicities to get vaccinated was alarming. It has highest infection rate in private sector. Don’t know death rates was strictly remote and put on non-sanctioned project NDA wasn’t signed and never knew until it came down the grapevine.
