Agency Tawk
by Rosie Phlack

 

Welcome dahling, to my new regular column here at Anvil dedicated to all things public and related here in beautiful Baghdad by the Bridge. Let’s get started shall we…

By now everyone has heard that the Benjamin Group is coming to town. Rosie hears that every shop in town is battening down the hatches and trying to think of clever new perks and benefits for employees to ward off Benji’s recruiters should they come calling. And they will call honey, you better believe it.

The PBJ’s list of Top 25 flack houses was out in July - who cares, you might ask? Why every pitch shop’s king and queen who gussied up their client list and made some "final edits" to their audited revenue numbers, that’s who. KVO, the perennial bridesmaid and runner-up to WaggEd was on the list at number two again. But with under $6 million in billings, Rosie can’t help but cherish the thought that some up-and-comer will take that spot next year. Losing those inflated media buying billings since the ad meisters were let go must really have put some varnish on the silver.

Speaking of polishing the silver, enquiring minds want to know what Sharon VanSickle (the V on the "KVO 1" vanity license plate) and New Venture prez Ray Berardinelli were talking about not too long ago at Sungari. Is there a little blowfish on the hook, ready to be gobbled up by a new corporate parent?

Oh my, ol’Rosie has gotten herself all worked up now, and that’s not such a bad thing, but she needs to go consult with herself for a little while, if you know what I mean. If you have a sweet morsel to share, whisper it into Rosie’s ear at rosie@anvil-media.com. Subscribe Contact Us About Anvil Anvil Archives Anvil Home
