WHO WE ARE
​
Human nature has an insatiable appetite for what’s new, compelling, informative and well-presented. It’s often said the best PR people are former reporters for one key reason: they get it. They get how to spot a news peg, present your message with maximum impact, appeal to editors, and respond under tight deadlines or even tense circumstances.
