LORI RICHARDS
CEO

Agency life is everything I never knew I always wanted. It wasn't my original career vision, but once I discovered it, I knew it was the right fit for me.
Fast forward 15+ years, and more PR experiences that many practitioners don't experience in an entire career.
I love collaborating with my team to solve a tough challenge, strategize a creative solution or just share a great story. I love opening my morning paper (yes, I still read the print edition) and recognizing our good work, smart strategy and unique ability to make connections in our community to get things done.
I'm often asked what my favorite part of my job is, and the answer is complex: it's the privilege of cultivating an amazing team; I dare say the smartest PR practitioners you'll find anywhere and creating a team environment that rewards excellence and fosters work/life balance. It's the challenge of knowing that I'll walk into the office each day and have no idea what new challenge lies ahead or problem I'll get to help solve that day using communications best-practices. And it's the rewarding relationships with clients throughout this region that quickly reduce the "six degrees" of separation to one or two.
If there's one thing I've learned after nearly two decades in this industry in Milwaukee, it's that there's no replacement for good, old-fashioned personal relationships, client service and hard work.
