Fishman Public Relations

This week Fishman PR and Franchise Elevator PR combined efforts to live out one of our six core values: "IMPROVE." Rejecting the idea of complacency, we continually strive to IMPROVE our delivery of service to clients, IMPROVE individually as human beings and IMPROVE as professionals in our field. This time, we turned our efforts externally to help IMPROVE the lives of families across Chicagoland. Collectively, our team gathered more than 2,500 snacks and assembled them to create nearly 500 snack packs for families of RMHC Chicago and Northwest Indiana! Being able to make an impact, and doing it together, was so special – and it’s just the beginning.

We can't wait for our next volunteer/fundraising effort to support this non-profit, and all the wonderful ways they support families with hospitalized children.

It’s a very special week here at Fishman PR as we celebrated our 31st anniversary! Congrats to our inspiring entrepreneurs and co-founders, Sherri Canel Fishman and Brad Fishman, for more than three decades of making a positive impact in the franchising industry by moving brands forward. We'd also like to recognize our loyal senior leadership team who have contributed to the agency's success: President Debra Fleischman-Vilchis, COO Sara Faiwell, Senior Vice Presidents Julianne Stevenson and Kelly McNamara, Vice Presidents Greg Avdoian and Angelic Venegas, Chief Growth Officer Zack Fishman, CFE, Director of Local PR Marcus Durbin, Director of Content Marketing Clare Spotts and Director of PR and Communications Cody O'Hara.

We asked some of our staff what they associate with the number 31, here are some of the fun highlights:
- Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors of ice cream
- There are 31 days in most months
- 31 is a code word frequently used in the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother”
- 1 billion seconds is equivalent to 31 years
- Herbert Hoover was the 31st president

We recently celebrated our 10-year anniversary of being a partner of The Worldcom Public Relations Group! This partnership with best-in-class, independent PR agencies around the world has been immensely valuable to our agency and clients, as we use our and services to move brands forward.
