Whew. If you made down here to the bottom, we congratulate you. You should see the original press release. No, no don’t actually. With sentences like: “Senior level strategists, Managing Directors manage and grow client relationships and Critical Mass visibility. These individuals must also build and foster high-energy, multidisciplinary teams working across many geographic locations,” you’ll be glad you didn’t bother.
