โ€œWhen you donโ€™t know, say so, quickly and directly.โ€ ๐Ÿ“–

As part of KQ Days, our team read The Trusted Advisor, and this quote stood out to Meredith Pierce, our Senior Content Strategist.

โ€œItโ€™s OK to not know, and itโ€™s OK to say, โ€˜Let me do some research, and Iโ€™ll get back to you on that,โ€™โ€ Meredith said. โ€œItโ€™s the follow-through, not being a know-it-all, that builds the relationship.โ€

Trust is built through honesty and following through, and thatโ€™s how we show up for our partners every day. Thank you for your insight Meredith.๐Ÿ’™

From Memphis to Atlanta to Cincinnati, every KQ Communications office has its own story.

Last week, our President & CEO Renee Malone and Chief of Client Services Joyce McKinney were in Cincinnati. The Queen City showed up like it always does! Our team attended Cincinnati Metro's State of Metro at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, connected with local communicators at a PRSA meeting, and spent time with the people we're proud to serve.

It was a great chance to reconnect, celebrate what we're building in Cincinnati, and remember that "everywhere" is more than a word for us. It's where we show up. ๐ŸŽ‰

Along with celebrating our wins and planning for the year ahead, we discussed The Trusted Advisor, which our whole team read this year.

Good people doing good work, everywhere. It starts with our team.
