Following an event for our pro bono client, the Creative Coalition, which launched the new NBC show The Philanthropist, Pamela Sorenson had some nice things to say about Qorvis. Thanks!
It seems in doing what we do best here at Qorvis (that is, win public affairs battles), we’ve struck a nerve launching our latest endeavor: the No Choke Points Coalition. From Kenneth Corbin’s blog at internetnews.com:
“You’ve got to tip your hat to Qorvis — they really know how to pick a fight. The Washington-based PR …
Qorvis and National Journal’s Hotline will be hosting the second (technically, the third if you count the incredible party/quiz show we had last month) event in our “Road to 2010″ series. This uber-political wonk gathering will address the role of polling and pollsters and how they will relate to the upcoming election.
This Thursday, Qorvis and National Journal will be hosting Political Pursuit, a light but engaging event ahead of the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner weekend. This is a part of our ongoing series “The Road to 2010.” Be sure to check it out.
Qorvis Partner Stan Collender made some interesting comments in a PR Week article today, “Public affairs pros discover new areas of opportunity.” Stan discusses the blurring of the line between lobbying and public affairs communications support, and the resulting benefit:
“Public affairs communications, where you raise visibility of an issue in a way that policymakers can’t ignore, has …
PR Week has released its annual Agency Business Report and listed Qorvis as the 5th largest independent communications agency in the U.S., up from the number six slot last year. With 15% growth and very low staff turnover in a down economy, this speaks greatly about the strength of our team and business model. It …
You may have seen that Qorvis has been named “Public Affairs Agency of the Year” by the Holmes Report (originally picked up by Politico). The Holmes Report said:
“…Qorvis is much more than a public affairs firm, with strong corporate and financial communications and even strategic brand marketing capabilities. But it continues to do much of …
Mr. Charlie Gibson was nice enough to highlight our Presidential Inauguration mobile app on the World News Webcast. He said: ”If you’re headed to Washington next week for Inauguration festivities, don’t forget your iPhone or your BlackBerry. It could be your key to finding your way around town.” We completely agree. Be sure to check out …
Qorvis is honored to be able to cap off another great year with today’s news that PRWeek has named us a finalist for the category of Midsize PR Agency of the Year 2009! We’re all clearly thrilled about this recognition.
What helped driving our nomination were several achievements, including the launch of Clarus Research Group, a …
To cap off a great week, Gadgetwise, the New York Times tech blog, has named the Qorvis / Patton Boggs 2009 Presidential Inauguration App the App of the Week.
Qorvis, Patton Boggs and PointAbout are really excited about the potential this app has to help people navigate Washington (which is the elegant metaphor for what we as …
So everyone in Washington is planning on throwing a party to celebrate Mr. Obama’s Inauguration. We decided to do it differently. As two companies that help people and organizations navigate the complexities of our nation’s capital (public affairs, legal services, issue advocacy, media and public relations, etc.), we thought we’d office this service on a …
After a year that has witnessed the depths of uncertainty and the heights of hope, everyone at Qorvis would like to express their gratitude – to our clients, our friends, our colleagues, our partners, our families, and everyone out there who helped make our eighth year in business our greatest yet.
Thank you,
Although I will primarily be covering news and events at Qorvis, occasionally I’ll comment on governmental activities—a tempting topic for someone at a public affairs firm in Washington, DC. This will mostly be done with history in mind.
What caught my eye this morning is that, in addition to Valerie Jarrett being tapped to serve as …
To all of you who read the Qorvis blog I want to invite you to take another look. I’ll be including here an increasing number of updates about the events and goings-on at the Q.
Please note: I won’t be doing this to fill space; rather, it will be more of an exercise in telling the …
