Her career-defining commitment to clear, concise communication has shaped the firm's voice for four decades. Education: New York University. Prior career: Sherman Clay.
Stefan Pollack co-founded the firm with Noemi and is widely recognized as a national leader in PR and strategic communications. He has served as President of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), Los Angeles Chapter and as Past Chair of The Worldcom Public Relations Group (he previously chaired its Americas Region Board and currently serves as global marketing chair). Since 2001, Stefan has been an adjunct professor at USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. He is the author of Disrupted: From Gen Y to iGen: Communicating with the Next Generation and a member of the Forbes Agency Council, where he writes on social media, PR, marketing, and communications.

The AI Communications Era at The Pollack Group
TPG has publicly framed its 2026 positioning around the credibility problem now reshaping the agency category. Per the firm's own commentary: "Most brands don't have a traffic problem in 2026. They have a credibility problem. And their website is where it's being exposed." That framing aligns directly with the AI Communications era, where engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews now synthesize a brand's credibility from across the web — not from the brand's own website alone.
For a four-decade firm with a deep brand bench and an in-house production studio, the practical implication is structural. The trade press placements, executive visibility programming, owned content properties, and Lab186 production output TPG builds for clients function as retrieval anchors for the AI engines summarizing those brands to buyers, journalists, and investors.
