Earlier this month, we announced four new hires to our New York office, bringing significant expertise and perspective to our growing team:
PRWeek’s Jess Ruderman covered the news, highlighting this as a key moment in the firm’s growth trajectory and the value of strategic communications advisory.
“When [One Strategy Group CEO David Meadvin] and cofounder Everett Rosenfeld founded the agency in 2022, they felt strongly that the world needed strategic advisers — not another PR firm,” Ruderman wrote.
“That starts not with a particular skillset, not with being great at media, at writing, at the things we think of as the verticals in our industry, but being great at understanding what keeps a CEO up at night and what gets them out of bed in the morning and living in their world, and then laddering strategy down from that understanding,” Meadvin told PRWeek.
