“We designed Swift to be the agency that we always wished for as clients: intensely creative, ROI-focused, open to inter-agency collaboration, with strategic experts from all disciplines at the table. As digital continues to earn and drive marketing strategy, we increasingly saw the need to bring PR capabilities in-house. We know that in the media landscape, PR and Digital have already merged – now we’re making it a key component of truly integrated strategy for all of our clients as well.”
