It all began with a

BREAKTHROUGH IDEA

THE YEAR WAS 1985.

“Back to the Future” was the highest grossing film of the year. Mikhail Gorbachev became the head of the Soviet Union.

And Noemi Pollack, then a senior-level executive at a large public relations agency, decided to strike out on her own.

She believed PR had become formulaic and stale, and too many agencies had lost sight of what it meant to deliver real value to clients. In her view, successful outcomes should come from breakthrough thinking, bold ideas –

and a healthy dose of

CHUTZPAH.

One of the agency’s first clients was a Los Angeles real estate developer.

To put the client’s latest development on the map, Noemi invited hundreds of local residents to a block party where they gleefully celebrated the demolition of the ugliest mansion in the neighborhood.
