As members of PRConsultants Group, a national network of independent public relations firms, we are given opportunities to gain new insights from our colleagues, as well as continuing learning opportunities.

In fact, a recent new business exchange we had a week prior to hearing her presentation is a perfect example of her advice at work. Many small businesses like ours have a sincere desire to [...]

Some interesting findings -- like 7 in 10 consumers are anxious about returning to large events or in-person meetings.

Will this be our new norm for greeting one another? For a while now, I’ve bemoaned the way that electronic communication seemed to be replacing real human interactions. I’ve seen it for example with my own kids, who are far too likely to try to handle disagreements with friends via text instead of picking up the phone to speak, or better yet, meet up to have a face-to-face conversation.

PR/communication folks are lucky if once in their career they get to work with a business icon – a brand that is well known by everyone. teamworks communication has been honored to work with several during the 22 years we’ve been in business – we worked with Blockbuster for 17 years and 7-Eleven for nearly 20. Working with the “big brands” allows you the ability to be part of a larger team, be super creative and admittedly, the big names help open some doors. Late last year, teamworks was selected to manage the Fall 2019 grand opening planning and publicity for [...]
