World Food Programme

We’re immensely proud of The World Food Programme and all they’re doing to tirelessly save lives, fight hunger and change the world. A Nobel Peace Prize is an incredible honor and rightly deserved, but a sign that there is still much work to be done. We’re excited to be part of the team that's bringing attention to the food challenges the world is facing as a result of COVID-19.

WFP is deeply humbled to receive the 2020 #NobelPeacePrize from Nobel Prize.

This is in recognition of the work of WFP staff who put their lives on the line every day to bring food and assistance to more than 100 million hungry children, women and men across the world.

This is also a powerful reminder to the world that peace and #ZeroHunger go hand-in-hand. 🌎🕊️ https://lnkd.in/dpruT2b

3 principles for messaging during COVID-19 - PR Daily

From our founder, Christian Pinkston.

Don’t overshare, but be honest about the difficulties you face. Here are some tips—some of which countermand some classic tenets of crisis management. As the global outbreak of coronavirus continues to evolve, companies of all shapes and sizes face a crisis unlike any they have faced before. Yet...

There will always be a temptation to keep bad news to yourself, but if there’s any chance the news gets out, it’s worth considering whether making the announcement yourself gives you more control and a better chance at weathering the storm. #CrisisCommunications

The Christianity Today editorial marks a new era in religion media

Throughout history, the unity of the Christian church has catalyzed important societal change. But today, politics are dividing the Christian community like never and that's bad for the church and society as a whole. Read more from partner David Fouse:

Authentic Attire: Do You Know Your Leadership 'Style'?

The clothing you wear is a business card, a portrait of who you are and a glimpse into how you think. Partner David Fouse discusses why leaders today should not dismiss the importance of style in today’s workplace and culture but, rather, dress themselves with a purpose.

In today’s increasingly digital age, what we wear might be more important to effective leadership than ever.

Lost Liberal Arts Grad? Check Out PR.

Contrary to every headline and study you’ve ever read, English degrees are, in fact, quite useful – and yes, you can find a job that isn’t shelving books, teaching poetry or pouring coffee.

The next time someone approaches you with a snide, “Oh, an English degree? What are you going to do with that?”, stick your bookmark in your Baudelaire, put him down next to your Baldwin, and say “I’m actually looking at a few jobs in PR. You can make six figures if you’re really good. You...

Stop “Giving Back,” Start Investing

"We hope that by investing in others, our employees’ view of the world will grow, that they will begin to ask questions about their unique purpose in this world, and as that purpose becomes more clear, they will discover a sense of creativity in how they might achieve it."

As a public relations firm, we spend our days telling clients’ stories, helping the world understand who they are and what is important to them. But we rarely spend time telling our own stories.
