by: Julia Schroeder Back to the drawing board. That’s where many brands have headed as a result of COVID-19. With a rapidly evolving global health pandemic that impacts nearly every part of day-to-day “normalcy,” brands have been forced to throw out their crisis playbooks and grapple with what they can do to shift both short and long term business strategies.

Women’s History Month might be over, but Methods+Mastery celebrates strong, smart women year round. At Methods+Mastery, over half of our team is comprised of women. This isn’t out of the ordinary given that PR is generally seen as a female-dominated profession. However, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that 58% of our junior staff are female and 60% of our leadership positions are held by women. Underrepresentation of women in the workplace is still a major challenge. Since 2015, an annual study of corporate America found that there has been almost...
