Congrats to Angela & Gary

On Friday morning, EMG's vice president gave birth to a baby boy, Reed. Congratulations to the new mom & dad!

Congrats to EMG

Last week was a great week for us! EMG was named an Emerging 30 designee and a Fast 55 business. We also got several MarCom awards, including a platinum winner for our work with Eagle Coach Company and Roto Rooter.

On top of all of that, we were nominated for Best Places to Work.

We rock :-)

USAF 1/2 Marathon

Uh oh, I've been a very bad blogger. It's my new resolution to keep this updated. We've been so busy at EMG...but that's a good thing!

In any case, I ran the Air Force 1/2 Marathon a couple weeks ago. It went well, though my time was a bit slower than the Flying Pig. It was my first time running this particular race, and it was really neat to have the fly-overs by the fighter planes just before the race started. TONS of volunteers that made the race a great success!

Air Force 1/2 Marathon

I just signed up for the Air Force Half Marathon in Dayton. I've been itching to run another race, and I've heard great things about this one.

Now comes the not-so-fun part...training! It's only a month away so I need to whip myself back into shape. :-) My dog has no idea what he's in for...he's going to be in the best shape of his life when this is over!

Introducing: Kardi

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a sucker for dogs! For the past year I was in a third-floor apartment in Covington that didn't allow pets. Now that I've got a house with a fenced in yard, I couldn't wait to find a four legged companion.

I found Kardi though a quick search on Craigslist--there was a nearby couple moving to NYC in 2010 and needed to find a home for their dog. After meeting the dog several times and getting to take him for a "test day," I made the decision to take him.

We got him today, and so far he's made himself at home. He's a really mild-tempered dog, a great for a running partner, and obedient. He's a 5 year old mix of border collie and gordon setter.

EMG is named the #29 Professional Services PR firm in the country!

O'Dwyers recently ranked EMG as the #29 Professional Services PR firm in the country. This was not sought out or applied for...rankings are independent and based on a host of credentials.

Congrats to the team at EMG!

We were also ranked as one of the top 150 overall PR firms in the country earlier this month.

Boston & NYC

I recently went on vacation in Boston and New York City. In both places, I visited friends from college and got the insider's look of the cities. In Boston, I "learned" to sail (this photo is of me "sailing" a parked boat) and in NYC I got a feel for what it's like to live as a young professional in Manhattan. Thanks to Nikki and Brian for showing us around!
