Summertime is here and we are officially halfway through
2016. Time has flown by at the C. Pharr office with new clients on board, fun
projects, training sessions and volunteer outings. Here are just a few of our
favorite highlights to-date.
5. Crisis and Media
Training
Whether it’s equipping our clients for a potential future
crisis or getting them practice in front of a camera before a big interview, we
love putting on trainings and presentations. Earlier this year we had the
chance to travel out to Long Cove's luxury lake home community to train on-site
staff and executives on what to do in a crisis scenario. Our favorite quote we
shared with them was this: “The single biggest predictor of reputational harm
is that people think you don’t care. Effective crisis response is a timely and
persistent demonstration that you care.”
We also ventured out to Capital One’s Plano campus to train
executives for future media interviews. Fort Worth market president Tiffany
Cason had the chance to put her training to the test just a few weeks later for
an interview with Fort
Worth Business at the Capital One Women Entrepreneur Event.
4. Putting Our
Creativity to Work
We often use our creativity in planning and writing, but
rarely do we get to flex our muscles in the realm of design and videography.
Recently we had the chance to revamp a few client documents with a design
refresh as well as put together a video from iCode’s first
graduation event.
3. Earning our
“Wings”
We’re thankful to have clients that have been with us for
years and we’re equally thankful for the chance to bring new clients on board,
especially when they are as fun and innovative as RISE, a Dallas-based company
that offers its members unlimited monthly flying and the ability to arrive just
minutes before a flight, park feet from the terminal and board the plan in less
than three minutes. You won’t want to miss the news coming from this company!
2. Telling Stories
that Will Warm Your Heart
We consider ourselves very lucky to work with clients that
are doing amazing things that leave a lasting impact on others. Our team has
been hard at work pitching stories for Trinity Christian Academy and the media
is loving it. In case you missed it, check out this heartwarming
story of TCA students using their final engineering project to make life
easier for Micah Kwok, a 3-year-old Allen boy who has hydrocephalus. You can
also see a timely Dallas
Morning News story from Mother’s Day.
1. Team Bonding and Having
FUN!
With a team full of “foodies,” we’ve slowly been eating our
way through Dallas at outings to Carbone’s, Savor, Klyde Warren Park Food
Trucks (Sno Cones) and the historic Highland Park Pharmacy (it’s so much more
than a pharmacy!). With countless hours of hard work, it’s been sweet to enjoy
a few outings together and celebrate the accomplishments along the way – both
work-related and personal. We’ve also had the chance to give
back to the community through volunteer days at Genesis Women’s Shelter and Dwell with Dignity’s Thrift Studio. There’s nothing quite
like coming together for a good cause and we’re looking forward to partnering
with more great organizations in the future.
