What did Harvey Hudes say in EPR's 2020 interview?

Hudes told EPR that agency work he saw over about ten years showed friction from a lack of agency focus and depth, which led him to specialize in B2B fintech and financial services, where complexity creates a high barrier to entry. He described Event Analyzer, a platform showing upcoming awards and events in real time, and Caliber Intelligence, a division built in the pandemic for market capabilities analysis, customer profile discovery and KPI development. He said content, webinars and influencer marketing were rising. These are his 2020 statements.

What does Caliber Corporate Advisers do?

Caliber describes itself as a storytelling agency with innovation at the forefront, and the 2024 release says Hudes developed Event Analyzer to support data-driven decisions about conference and event strategy. EPR's financial services PR and fintech PR sections cover the category.

Which clients has Caliber Corporate Advisers worked with?

Hudes named Northern Trust, Symphony, FINOS, Legal & General, Bank of Montreal Capital Markets, Clear Capital, Smart Pension, Corvus and Finomial in 2020.

What recognition has Caliber Corporate Advisers received?

The firm's releases say it was named a Financial Times Americas' Fastest Growing Company and an Inc. Best Workplace in 2023, and describe it as an O'Dwyer's ranked PR firm. These are the firm's statements.

How does Caliber Corporate Advisers compare with other fintech PR firms?

Caliber is a New York fintech specialist, so EPR's fintech PR section, the PR agency Q&A profiles and the PR agency profiles directory are the best comparisons, along with Hewes, which serves asset managers.
