We talk about how he blends creativity with data, how his team consistently lands top-tier national coverage—including a memorable product demonstration on CSI featuring a laser keyboard (watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh6blxlnykM)—what it really takes to scale an agency, and the trends he believes will redefine PR in the years ahead. This episode drives into strategy, storytelling, and building a modern PR firm from the ground up.
