Honoring Legends & Leaders –- Steve Grubbs
Steve Grubbs, former CEO of PHD Media, North America and Founder of Second Act Media, shares a story at our September dinner at Michael’s restaurant in New York City about a time when a client took the heat for a scandalous decision regarding the 2003 Super Bowl. "You know you have a good client when they throw themselves under the bus for you versus throwing you under the bus for their management," he commented, emphasizing the importance of relationships, trust and honesty in the industry. Linda Yaccarino, Dave Morgan, John Costello, Jim Rosenfield, Burt Manning and Kay Koplovitz were among the Legends in the room. Watch the video for the full story.
