FTW (For The Win) | Page 2

welcome If you’re asking yourself about the name of our magazine, let me tell you that it came from one of our team members – Associate Strategist Vianka McConville – who, in a brainstorming session for this project, suggested it because what we do for our clients is all about “the win.” As the leader of our firm, I get to watch every day as a tightknit group of professionals live up to our commitment to do whatever it takes for our clients … devising sophisticated strategic plans and implementing creative approaches to tell stories, solve problems and achieve goals. This book is the culmination of a year spent celebrating three decades in business. It is about lessons learned along the way and observations about the future of our profession and the organizations and communities we serve. It is about what we do every day for the win … to help our clients tell their stories, to help them build relationships, to help them maintain their reputations as best in class. It is about what goes on in the minds of our team, the people who make us The Strategic Firm®. Here’s to your win! Roger Pynn, APR, CPRC President/CEO thestrategicfirm.com
