About us
They say you can tell a lot about someone by the company they keep; we keep great company. The faces of Talk Shop are industry leaders in technology, real estate, retail, finance, luxury and consumer goods. We’re made up of bright talent and brands looking to engage media, event PR and influencer marketing differently. Beyond our day jobs running a PR and digital agency, we’re good people who do the right thing. We’re deeply proud of the fact that we’re entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial thinkers. This makes us scrappy and unstoppable when it comes to getting things done. We work at a relentless pace. We consume news, art and culture. We’re thirsty to learn, grow and be better than we were yesterday. One of our core values is honesty, and not in the sense of truth-telling, although we do that too. We’re brutally honest with our clients and ourselves when and where changes are needed. We lead as a family-first employer. We’re proudly female-owned and committed to diversity and inclusion. We know that when you take care of your people, everyone wins. Our every day is about continual improvement. We work to be a little bit better than we were the day before until we have actually left the world better than the way we found it.
