By Erika Turan Fans of NBC’s juggernaut This Is Us have catapulted the show’s ratings since it launched in 2016. In fact, upward of 10 million people tune in each week to watch the generational drama that follows the Pearson family through triumph and heartbreak. Chief among the show’s touchpoints is its time-travel storytelling. […]
By Erika Turan I’ve been a PR and marketing practitioner for more than 20 years now, the past seven years at this awesome, award-winning marketing and public relations agency in Cincinnati. I’ve seen a lot. I’ve done a lot. Some things have worked. Some things have failed miserably. Much like anything in life, there […]
By Christa Skiles Some people spend their time on Facebook looking at cute animal videos or vacation photos from their friends.

What I found, after securing the all-important post-graduation […]
A purple orchid sits on my desk near the window. Its silent, natural beauty a sharp contrast to the practical, functional tools I have on my desk. Sometimes while I’m looking around in exasperation when the printer is acting up or my email won’t load fast enough, I’ll see the orchids and think, Well, at […]
Over the course of my career in marketing communications, I’ve conducted many interviews with clients, their employees, key stakeholders and target audience members across Greater Cincinnati, including backgrounding sessions, media training and prep and as part of comprehensive communications audits—where we take a deep dive into our client’s industry to gain valuable insight so they […]
Go ahead and Google the word “Fiona,” and the first result you get won’t be the princess from Shrek. Or Fiona Apple, the Grammy-award winning singer.
