POV: The Power of Pets

Fidel (Chris Alves) – Shelter pup Fidel, not to be mistaken for the famous Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro (although we must admit, his resemblance is striking!), enjoys spontaneous wiggles down grassy hills, all varieties of meaty treats, and the occasional dip in the Pacific Ocean. Most of the time you can find Fidel sprawled out […]

Communications Starts at the Top

Those three words aren’t just sloganeering. Our founder, R. Christine “Chris” Hershey, has long been a proponent of doing good for communications – as an evangelist for the impact of smart, strategic messaging on an organization’s success, irrespective of the industry it serves.

POV: What’s Not in a Name?

These designations define social-sector organizations in a way that has a lot to do with the tax code but little to do with how or why they actually do their work. We’re excited to be part of a growing movement to redefine mission-first organizations in terms of what they are: “for purpose” or “for benefit.” It’s a powerful […]
