While we love partnering with our clients to promote their good news, we are especially thrilled when we have some kudos of our own to share, particularly when it concerns our CK family.
This week marked an exciting time at 205 Lexington, thanks to the announcement of two significant promotions: Anne Green has been named President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dorothy Sonnenburg has been designated as Chief Financial Officer.
As the countdown to 2011 continues, we’re making our (deadline) lists…and checking them twice. Like most companies, the work doesn’t slow down just because the holiday lights and mistletoe go up.
Following up last year’s “Have a Snuggie Holiday” hit, CooperKatz is pleased to present “The Deadline” – a fun, festive video homage to the time-crunched moments we all have and the ways we ‘make it happen’ all throughout the year.
I was speaking with a friend recently regarding the passing of author J.D. Salinger. His initial comment – “How would anyone ever know?” – was both facetious and understandable. Notorious for guarding his privacy, Salinger is the opposite of many clients for whom we work – organizations eager to share their expertise and build their presence in their respective industries and among key constituencies.
While Salinger’s particular approach to his work and career was extreme for even the most publicity-shy among us, there is a lesson here for the communications field. There is a time to be visible and proactive, and there is a time to step back from the limelight. There are times to talk, and there are times to listen and observe.

We’re onward and upward here at CooperKatz – looking forward to what awaits us, our client partners and the PR industry as a whole in the year to come. So while we hope for the best and know there are never any guarantees, here’s our initial take on the road ahead and a few of the signs we’re seeing.
Buckle up and let’s roll!
