Currently a client, and find it's cookie cutter. The video about taking back PR was nice and all, but walk the walk.

That is the PR industry's achilles heel. Too much talk not enough walking.

Seems like you’re paying more salaries in line with industry averages and snagging great talent from other agencies right now

I always hear that people don’t want to be pigeonholed into one role there. It’s the reason a lot of people leave. Otherwise seems like a good vibe in terms of culture

I think it’s one of the ones to beat right now. Recruiters have reached out to me recently. I just can’t move right now. Edelman is big box versus personality. I’ve struggled with how political it is. Seems like you and only one or two others have souls.

Sorry but Golin rarely, if ever, posts up against us on new biz. But our work is all issues and policy based. Some good folks over there

You have the business model most PR agencies are pivoting to. Less account management staffing and more PMs

Are you able to get close to Edelman’s lead if you don’t put an emphasis on creative thinking?

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating.

Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.
