\u201cI entered communications at a time when technology was utterly transforming the way we communicate, commerce was conducted and businesses operated,\u201d Hollins said. \u201cThere was no better place to be than at an agency in California in the heart of that transformation. Today, technology, particularly AI and access to vast amounts of audience data, is again reshaping our field. I can think of no better place than FleishmanHillard in California to lead in this moment. I\u2019m incredibly excited for what the future holds for our teams and our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
