Cognito PR and Marketing expands, opening a new office in San Francisco to service technology and financial clients. The London based firm is an up and coming player on the communications scene. Offering a range services with a fully transparent tone, Cognito’s online brand, combined with its excellent track record, should prove very competitive for other players in the space. Only time will tell, but expansion in these tough economic times exhibits such strength.
Nobody talks about it, but it’s the most important question to answer when choosing a public relations profession: “Why should I hire them…and not someone else?” Everyone does that math, but few people are direct enough to tell you why they hired Someone Else … and not you. They just go with The Other Guy […]
