Being named one of America’s Best PR Agencies in 2021 by Forbes will forever be a highlight of 2020 (at least something good came out of this year). Being on the Forbes list has us feeling a bit nostalgic. While 2020 might go down as the worst year to ever be, there were some great […]
Public relations and digital are in a long-term, committed, and extremely healthy relationship (It’s Facebook official). To put it in perspective, they are a Barack-and-Michelle-level power couple. It’s a 21st century, extremely modern relationship. You know, the kind where the two are equals and constantly push and support one another? It’s like they actually […]
Mistakes are a part of human nature. We all make them, and we’ll continue to do so. Think back to the last f*ck up you had. How did you handle it? Did you place blame? Did you make excuses? Did you own it? COVID is f*cking everything up. Businesses are struggling to stay safe while […]
Anyone remember what the inside of their office looks like? Believe it or not, we will all be together again soon, and business will slowly start to return to normal…well, our new normal, anyways.

Do you recall the last great story you read, watched or viewed? Don’t give us that crap about how you don’t read because you don’t have time. Every time you scroll Facebook or Instagram you’re reading, whether it’s a post, video or an article you click on. A story doesn’t have to be a 1,000 […]
We live in a strange and crazy world. Just look around. Cars can sort of drive themselves, our president has a terrible spray tan, and people make hundreds of dollars a day just by taking photos and posting them online. It’s pure insanity. While we could have never predicted that Adidas would test their shoes […]
We know it’s still November, but we are already “rocking around the Christmas Tree” and “spreading cheer by singing loud for all to hear.” Why?

If you didn’t know already, it’s our favorite time of the year (besides Christmas)…spooky season.
