Ellen Ryan Mardiks is full of stories about how founder Fred Cook influenced the Interpublic Group agency through his personality, curiosity and leadership ability. She’s taking those lessons and her experience from four decades at the agency into her year as chair of the board of the directors at the PR Council, which is also celebrating its 25th anniversary this year alongside, ahem, some other bold-face brands in the PR industry. 

Ryan Mardiks talks about her plans for both Golin and the PR Council, as well as the following topical news in the latest edition of The PR Week podcast, including: 

-President Joe Biden’s trip to Kyiv; 

-The passing of industry veteran David Wells; 

-Edelman Global Advisory’s latest acquisition; 

-QSR sector PR;

-And one agency’s out-of-this-world new practice.
