Two years ago, I made the decision to leave my executive marketing communications position and do my own thing. After ten years overseeing global public relations and content strategy for two different emerging enterprise software companies, I felt it was time to go out on my own. The factors that weighed most heavily in my decision was to spend more time with my family (particularly with my two college-bound sons who will be out of the house soon) and also to create something that was “my own.”
But, my timing kind of sucked. I left my full-time position in February 2022, which was right when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
Despite starting Third I amidst one of the most volatile global business environments in recent history, I’m happy to report that Third I has experienced many successes and we’ve grown faster than I ever thought possible. We’ve also had our fair share of failures too. but I’m a firm believer that one’s greatest teacher and mentor in life is failure, and that one cannot achieve personal or business success without the willingness to try new approaches. Fortune indeed favors the brave.
BTW - March 4th is our official 2nd year anniversary, and I love that the Third I anniversary date is also a call to action!
Great Colleagues + Great Clients = A Thriving Tech PR Firm
We’ve built a lot of great relationships here at Third I, and one of the best parts of coming to work everyday is the opportunity to engage with such a diverse group of intelligent, driven and collaborative individuals.
I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with experienced partners like Dave Jones at Instinctive Solutions, Andrea LePain at eMedia Junction, Paula Johns Communications, and many other talented PR and marketing professionals who have helped support Third I’s clients.
During the past two years, I’ve also worked with several truly innovative companies including AODocs, KnowledgeLake, DryvIQ, Sparrow, Innovative Health Solutions, TelcoDR, and Totogi. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of our clients for allowing us to be a part of their teams and being such an integral part of the Third I family.
