150Bond

As we start H2, a period of high growth at 150Bond, we’re delighted to announce two promotions. We’re celebrating colleagues whose growth, media relationships and mentorship have made an impact on the company. In San Francisco, Anna-Lena Dressman steps into the role of Senior Account Manager. After starting her 150Bond journey in New York, Anna Lena made the move west and has played a key role in strengthening our West Coast presence. Her work with global media, particularly in AI, venture and sustainability, has been both strategic and deeply impactful. She’s deeply trusted to deliver meaningful results by both her clients and colleagues. In New York, Anjlee Sidhartha has been promoted to Senior Account Executive. Anjlee joined us in March 2024 and quickly became a standout member of the team, known for her thoughtful media relationships and sharp storytelling instincts. Her work across AI, Work Tech, and Crypto reflects her versatility and depth of media relationships. Co-Managing Partner Daire Hickey shared: "Both Anna Lena and Anjlee represent the kind of curiosity, determination, and creative thinking that define who we are at 150Bond. They’re results driven and go the extra mile for our clients.. We’re happy to see them both succeed ." Congratulations, Anna Lena and Anjlee!

Welcome 14 New Team Members 👋 We just wrapped up a successful round of hiring at 150Bond - welcoming 7 new team members and 7 graduates across our New York, Dublin, and San Francisco offices. We started building our SF team at the start of the year and now have an office and 3 team members supporting our West Coast clients. The standout moment? Our Associate Program received over 1,000 applications across Dublin and New York - clear proof that plenty of people share our fascination with storytelling, AI, crypto, and venture capital. From that pool, we hired 7 outstanding Associates who are already making their mark. To everyone who applied, interviewed, and shared their story with us - THANK YOU! We were genuinely impressed by the ambition, creativity, and drive we encountered. While this hiring cycle is complete, we're always open to meeting exceptional people. If you think 150Bond could be the right fit for you (or someone you know), reach out.

Last week, 150Bond’s Pearse Corcoran hosted Rafael Nam, Senior Business Editor at NPR, for a virtual session that offered a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of an NPR journalist and editor. With over 20 years of experience across NPR, Reuters, and The Hill, Rafael shared honest, practical advice on how comms professionals can effectively engage with media, especially in today’s fast-moving, noisy news cycle. Top takeaways: 📈Nail your subject line: It’s your first (and sometimes only) chance to get noticed. 🗞️Keep it short: Elevator pitch, not essay. Keep it relevant and make it easy to say yes. 🤝Stay friendly: Don’t be afraid to just say hi sometimes or invite a reporter out for a coffee and get to know them. Everyone loves a free coffee! Thanks to Rafael for the insights and Pearse for a great session!
