I can’t help but feel philosophical about returning to JohnstonWells. In every way, it feels good to “come home,” especially to the lovely new offices in this historic building (where I used to buy tulip bulbs) and to an impressive staff and portfolio of work.
I’m more excited than ever about being in the communications profession. I’m not worried about the future of public relations, even in the face of declining traditional media outlets. Let’s face it, organizations will always need to communicate with their customers and other key audiences. And, that’s where public relations pros shine.
I’m looking forward to working again with three professionals—Diane Amdur, Gina Seamans and Kirsten Ritter–who were part of the old JohnstonWells team, and to getting to know all the other smart people here who are new to me. All in all, it feels like a great way to start the new year. Here’s to good things ahead for JohnstonWells in 2010.
