I sat in a cubicle surrounded by offices where a lot of action was always happening.

From tacos to burgers, pet food to X-ray machines, toothpaste to supplements, or whiskey, noodles and shopping malls, the variety of clients has kept me engaged and invigorated. My relationship with Citizen continues to grow every day, and my relationship with the people and the culture we have built is truly what has kept me here for so long. Citizen is a special place that I am proud to be a part of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CR: Even though you have been at Citizen consistently for 20 years, you have certainly seen changes in the industry overall.

And while I won\u2019t pretend that things haven\u2019t ebbed and flowed in these three areas over the past 15 years, I will say that whenever I started to get the itch to move, something happened that made me want to stick around longer to see how it played out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether that was winning a new client that I wanted to work on, launching a new Citizen offering that I wanted to learn more about, or working with a new colleague or leader that made me feel valued, there always seems to be something happening at Citizen that keeps me excited to be part of what\u2019s next.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CR: Last year was definitely filled with lots of those exciting moments for you. You won over a dozen industry awards, 15 to be exact. Congrats! Which are you most proud of and why?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>JH:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Last year, one of the campaigns we were successful in winning many different awards for our <\/span><a href=\"\/case-study\/ugly-truths\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ugly Truths Holiday Sweaters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> campaign in support of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ugly Truths Holiday Sweaters campaign was developed on the heels of an employee survey that found the majority of Citizens named mental health as a cause they cared deeply about. Knowing how important mental health is to our team, we put our strengths to work and developed a creative, earned-first campaign that would create a positive impact for those facing mental health challenges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The campaign was born out of the insight that while the holidays are widely considered a time of merriment and joy, for the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one in two Canadians who suffer from anxiety, depression, or loneliness, it\u2019s not the most wonderful time of the year. With media narratives focusing on more festive topics, the half of Canadians who experience the challenging realities of the season are left feeling alone. We needed to create space for a different conversation and used Canadian media and social influencers to give more time to the \u201cugly\u201d side of the holiday season, so those suffering knew there\u2019s support available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using our \u201cugly\u201d sweaters as a trojan horse, we were able to see a 9% increase in Canadian conversation around mental health during the holidays when compared to the previous year. And while we partnered with CMHA on the campaign, the entire program was created, funded and produced by Citizen. We were so proud of the real, tangible impact we were able to make which is probably why winning the gold award for Business Impact in Healthcare at the Canadian Marketing Awards was the one I was most proud of.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CR: You\u2019ve accomplished so much, but it seems like there is still so much fire left in you. What gets you the most excited when thinking about the future of the public relations industry at large?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>JH: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The opportunity PR has to continue to grow its share of the marketing mix and take the lead seat at the IAT table. There\u2019s a reason why people use PVRs, pay more for streaming services and press \u201cskip ad\u201d on YouTube. We don\u2019t want to be talked at. If brands want to get our attention, they need to engage us in the conversation. As PR professionals, this isn\u2019t \u201cnew news\u201d &#8211; we\u2019ve been doing this forever. But with brands seeing a decline in how effective traditional one-way advertising can be, they are looking to shift their dollars to two-way communications approaches. Advertising agencies are quickly trying to adapt their creative thinking to match, but the truth is PR agencies will always do it better and this is our time to shine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re already seeing a shift in the agency model with PR agencies being asked to do more of the strategy and creative thinking work. I think this will just continue to happen more and more, opening up budgets and opportunities for PR to show what it\u2019s really capable of &#8211; making true business impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/alysonsturm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Aly Sturm- Senior Vice President, New York City\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/h5>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aly Sturm has nearly 20 years of experience in corporate communications, consumer PR, and issues and crisis management, with a focus on food and beverage, health, CSR, and CPG industries.
