The Bliss Group

This year, we’ve been fortunate to work with extraordinary partners and clients who share our passion for innovation and excellence. None of the work we’ve done in 2024 would have been possible without our smart and talented teams – thank you for being an integral part of our journey.    We're excited about what’s next in 2025, but first, we’re taking some time to rest and recharge. The Bliss offices will be closed through the new year to allow our teams to spend well-deserved time with family and friends.     Wishing all our clients, partners, and Bliss teams a wonderful holiday season and a happy New Year.     #HappyHolidays #HappyNewYear #2025 

AI integration, economic shifts, potential policy changes, and major industry M&As are top-of-mind for communications professionals heading into 2025. PRNEWS gathered predictions from some of the top minds in the industry—including Bliss CEO Cortney Stapleton—to prepare for the year ahead.    Cortney shares how AI is transforming the way we work, not as a replacement for talent, but as a tool that enhances it. Proprietary AI assistants and other smart platforms allow us to streamline tasks like research, pitch development, and briefing books. All of which allows teams to focus on creativity, problem-solving, and building relationships.    As we navigate shifts in the economy and industry, we’re excited about what the future holds.

The Bliss Group was proud to attend Newsweek’s Better Workplaces on How to Foster Inclusion and Civility event, sponsored by SHRM. Hosted by Aman Kidwai, our colleagues Bill C. Smith and Ro Thompson, M.A. Thompson gained valuable insights from a distinguished panel of business and academic leaders.   The panel emphasized the power of storytelling and emotional connections in fostering civility, sharing key takeaways like: 💡 The impact of political events on employee well-being and productivity, including evidence that points to significant financial loss when workers experience incivility.    💡 Strategies for managing political polarization in the workplace – and the negative effects of political polarization on team collaboration and mental health.     💡 The importance of focusing on commonalities rather than differences in the workplace to mitigate the impact of incivility.    #Civility #InclusiveEnvironment #Inclusion #Workplace

The Omnicom-IPG merger marks a pivotal moment in the PR and marketing world. Although the consolidation aims to streamline operations and drive profitability, it also underscores the challenges of scaling creativity and personalization within large organizations, which provides independent agencies with a unique opportunity to lead.
