I haven’t been working at Dittoe PR very long but it is pretty safe to say that I love my job and feel at home here.  From the beginning, I have been welcomed with open arms, which unfortunately, is rarely the case when you start working at a new company.  Often people have already formed cliques or feel threatened by the prospect that someone new may outshine them.

I have yet to encounter the slightest hint of resentment or competition from any of my coworkers.

Everyone was willing to take time out of their day to help me learn the ropes as I dug into my work, even better; they were excited to get to know me.  It was clear they were concerned with more than just being helpful coworkers, they wanted to be my friends.

One of my co-workers and I share a passionate love for great coffee.  One rough morning, I was complaining about the absence of a Dunkin Donuts on every corner here in Indy and she shared she hadn’t ever tried their coffee.  Although it’s not the best coffee out there, I told her she had to give it a whirl at least once.  The next morning I walked up next to her as she was unlocking our building, two Dunkin cups in hand.  “Oh, this one’s for you,” she says, “I know how much you like it.”

Not only had she taken my advice, she picked one up for me as well!  Now, I think I am pretty lucky to work in a place where the people are genuine, considerate and go the extra mile.

That is a perfect example of what makes Dittoe’s approach to PR so different.  Our relationships with our clients and the media are very similar to those we have with each other.  We are genuine.  We are truly interested in our clients’ needs and while working with them, we become invested in their goals.  Business cannot just be business anymore; it has to be personal—personal touches with the media, personal investment in our clients, and personal connections with each other. After all, true success starts with a happy home, and I’ve found mine at Dittoe PR.
