Glamour Magazine Highlights Alison Brod’s PR Office in Interview
When dealing with anything out of Alison Brod’s life — home, office, clothing, personality — she doesn’t lack style or color and most of it is beautiful, but never laid-back. She has a style, and she’s not afraid to let people in her office know if they are not measuring up to her likes in their own office spaces. Pencils belong in the desk when not in use, pictures always in frames, and sometimes she leaves a post-it note on something she doesn’t like, indicating that it should be gotten rid of.
Having said that, the office space has a candy bar – featuring candy and other goodies from clients’ lines, a blow-dry bar so everyone can look fabulous, and a lobby that could fill a lot of little girls’ fantasy of work life. When asked, she said if not PR, she would love to run an interactive candy museum, score fashion shows and movies, and scout for talent in the evenings.
