Meet Larry Krutchik, General Manager, Hill+Knowlton Strategies

Hello, WPCC members! I'm Larry Krutchik with the new agency working with the WPCC, and I'm looking forward to meeting you in Montreal. It will be nice to exchange ideas about how to elevate WPCD 2017 to greater heights and share our vision for how to evolve from a moment to a year-round movement. I'm an attorney-turned-communications strategist, and I've spent over 20 years empowering health-related and non-profit clients to advocate for their cause. Hill+Knowlton Strategies brings strategic insight and experience with best-in-class global campaigns to the WPCC, along with the fact that we have offices in more than 75 percent of the countries represented in the WPCC. A couple of other things to know about me: When I'm not at work, I'm working on my golf game. And my day MUST begin with coffee! (If it ends with a good single malt, all the better.) See you in a few weeks – I can't wait to be inspired by you all!



We Need Your Videos! View Simple Tips First

As we approach our Annual Meeting, we'd like to collect short videos from you. We plan to use them on our WPCC website, on Facebook and Instagram, and to show some of them in Montreal. WPCC member Craig's Cause created a video for you to watch, and we made a short video for you to review with quick tips, as well as a tip sheet for additional suggestions. Put your short videos here by March 15. Thank you!
