"Fifty" seems to be my lucky number these days.
We celebrated the 50th anniversary of GolinHarris last year and this year marked the 50th year we've represented McDonald's Ray Kroc worked out of a small office at LaSalle and Wacker in Chicago and there were only a handful of the old "red and "white" McDonald's around in 1957.
It's been a real thrill to be a partner with them throughout the past 50 years and the "trust bank" concept we developed with them is still a big part of the company's culture all over the world.
This year has also proved to be one of the most exciting ever for GolinHarris. We've been selected as the "Agency of the Year" by The Holmes Report , the "Large Agency of the Year" by PRWeek and PRWeek's Editors' Choice.
This will be a hard year to follow - but I've always loved challenges. Thanks to all of my GolinHarris associates who keep me excited about this business.
