WHAT DO YOU DO AT WEBER SHANDWICK?
I help enact strategies and media outreach for a wide variety of top-tier consumer clients, with a focus on the digital and social media space.
WHY WEBER SHANDWICK?
Weber Shandwick is a great place to work because it’s a vast, global company with as many brilliant thinkers as there are amazing clients. What I like most is the impressive level of creativity that goes into every detail of every plan we bring to the table. Especially in the online world, creativity allows our executions to catch on and become popular, so I’m proud of the work we’ve done to provide clients with truly winning ideas.
HOW ARE YOU AN ADVOCATE?
I was an advocate before I even knew what the word meant – since childhood, I’ve always been a very curious person who, upon finding something that really caught my attention and interest, would tell anyone and everyone in earshot about it. I still do to this day both in and outside of the office, and it’s a point of pride for me that friends, colleagues and media contacts trust me to tell them about the coolest news out there.
WHAT DOES ADVOCACY MEAN TO YOU?
To me, advocacy equals transparency. True advocates stand by everything they say and honestly find their news to be of great value. It’s a great motto to live by in PR, as your contacts look to you for great ideas and information that will have a positive impact on their readers’ lives.
