WP's Pearlstein Falls for PR Firm

My competitive streak prevents me from excerpting WP's Steven Pearlstein's love letter to Qorvis Communications today, but I'll at least give it a link.  I have several friends over at Qorvis, and I'm sure they are dancing for joy at this column. 

I'm biased of course, but many of the things that Pearlstein cites as positives about Qorvis I also consider true of my firm, Dittus.  We've got a great boutique culture that allows us to focus on results instead of how many hours we bill.  We believe in smart and strategic media strategies, not peppering reporters with mindless and endless cold calls by twentysomethings.  And because our team has deep experience on the Hill and government, we specialize in helping clients get things done in this town.  I consider those to be advantages that Dittus has over larger firms.

This ain't a Dittus propaganda blog, so I'll step off my soapbox now.  But Steve, any time you wanna come over and check us out, gimme a buzz...
