It was great seeing some old friends, (including a few former interns now running agencies).I didn’t recognize any of the folks honored at the “40 Under…… Continue reading PR Week’s 40 Under 40

PR Week NEXT
I was able to swing by PR Week’s annual NEXT Conference yesterday held at the Sheraton New York Hotel where I grabbed some sound from the publication’s UK-transplanted new editor Steve Barrett.
