Last week, the agency continued its speaker series celebrating our 40th anniversary. Bacardi's Vice President, Global Brand PR and Influence, Jamie Williams Cooper sat down with our EVP, Abby Vinyard O'Melia, to talk about starting a career at Nike Communications, as well as, her journey in PR and the learnings that came from her impressive career. Jamie also participated in a Q&A with our staff while sipping on St-Germain Hugo Spritzes. Thank you, Jamie! We loved having you. Your perspectives were insightful, and we had some good laughs from the stories you shared about your previous work.

We can't wait to see Peter Malachi back in the office!
I'm about to address the Nike Communications, Inc. class of 2024 celebrating its 40th Anniversary! Nike (nothing to do with the sneakers as I've often had to explain) is an agency I credit for boosting my career at a critical moment in my life. I'd moved from London in 2000 having worked predominantly in haircare and cosmetics marketing. President & Founder Nina Kaminer interviewed thanks to a referral from a friend who had worked at the Agency. If you're lucky you have a mentor; I'm blessed to have landed the best. Nina is a communications icon and genius! She founded the Agency at age 24 in 1984 with the singular ambition of representing the best brands in the world, often European luxury brands looking to make a foothold in the U.S. market, (strategically also the year American Express launched the Platinum Card). Her client list included Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Baccarat, Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Krug, Montblanc, Tag Heuer, Christofle and many other iconic brands. Nina taught me about quality results and reaching for the sky. She is a master at creating white space for growth: she sees talent & potential in people and pushes them to achieve it, me included! As a new arrival on American shores, Nina gave me a shot handling luxury lifestyle brands - I launched "Baby Piper" splits of champagne during fashion week, Jean-Paul Gaultier corset-wearing bottles, the release of the 2000 Vintage Chateau Mouton for Baroness Philippine, press for glamorous Rosewood resorts in the Caribbean and feature coverage for Vacheron Constantin watches. I was launched into a glamorous "Sex & the City" luxe lifestyle fueled by fashion, celebrity, & champagne! One of the notable learnings was how to craft a powerful narrative. Campaigns were about creating brand news when there was no newness. We mined brand DNA for cultural relevance, created trends based on current events & entertainment in order to secure major features and product placement in A-List media for clients. We were ambitious, effective pitch machines who moved the needle for our clients in terms of awareness and sales. It was a boot camp -extremely demanding and competitive but was the foundation for the career success I've enjoyed. I have a thousand stories from my TWO stints at the Agency, but what I will never forget is the pride and satisfaction winning a monthly Nike award! Nina's incredibly humble (even shy) and always gave credit where it was due. On a monthly basis best press results (usually multi-page or major brand features in print & TV as digital coverage was not yet highly-rated) were given the "Nike" of the month award. The prize was kudos of presenting your winning coverage at the all-Agency meeting. You told the story of the challenge and triumph of the pitch process. It was an opportunity to gain experience in public speaking and to inspire, & share. A toast to Nina on her incredible legacy on behalf of the multitude of talent she's nurtured and championed over four decades!

This #InternationalWomensDay, we're proud to spotlight our commitment to revolutionizing female healthcare. Often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, women continue to suffer from lack of research and information on diseases that arise during pregnancy, specifically surrounding Hyperemesis Gravidarum. We’re ready to bridge the gap and provide women with the services they deserve with the opening of our care centers later this year. Join our female-led founding team in celebrating the progress we're making in the journey towards a healthier, more equitable future for all women. #womensmonth #womensupportingwomen #empoweringwomen #womeninleadership #IWD Leslie Gautam Kristen Williams Marlena Fejzo
